This language has a good support for systems programming and has a fair arithmetic support, simple data structures, subroutines, conventional flow control structures, simple but useful input – output (I/O) facilities and a powerful macro pre-processor
The C language was developed for the Unix Operating System that was being created around the time. Although there is no direct link between C and Pascal, all of the features that made Pascal so popular were included in C along with CASE statements. The C language was made fast and powerful at the expense of being hard to read. Nonetheless, the improvements it had over the Pascal started a major wave of change from former Pascal users
The C is a powerful language for writing tight, fast and highly tuned code in a language far more portable than the assembly language. C is low level enough to write Graphical User Interface (GUI) libraries. Primitive data types supported in the modern C are: several sizes of integers, characters, pointers and arrays.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C standard, created in 1990 defines better data type handling and subroutine declarations for C. The C language became extremely popular in academic and industrial computing from the late 1970s through to early 1990s; where even today it still enjoys a huge user community. The influence of C and UNIX on each other and the pair of them on the rest of computing cannot be underestimated. C also had a profound impact on the World Wide Web (WWW), as the first web servers and web clients were all written in C.
