C PROGRAM CODE2C Program CodeC programming language is a programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in1972 at Bell Laboratories (Hoffman & Benton, 2015). Its features were mostly derived fromBCLP which was a programming language which came before it. B stands for Basic CombinedProgramming Language. Its invention is attributed to the implementation of the UNIX operatingsystem. Having developed C 1972, Ritchie together with Brian Kernighan went ahead to publishThe C programming Language in 1978 which was the first edition. The American NationalStandards Institute created a committee to give a comprehensive and modern definition of C in1983. C has standards. The first standard specification for C is C89/C90 which was created byThe American National Standards Institute in 1989 and it refers to the same programminglanguage. The second standard is C99 which was published in 1999 as a revision and it made anintroduction of brand new features which include the advanced data types. C programming language is among the most powerful programming languages today andits features include the fact that it is efficient and effective, modular, interactive, flexible,portable and reliable. C has seen its uses in the development of system applications which makeup for the major portion of top three operating systems which include Linux, UNIX, andWindows. It is also utilized in the development of interpreters, network drivers, compilers,assemblers, operating systems, spreadsheets, word processors, graphics packages and databasesystems.Currently, there are three levels of programming languages which include low level, highlevel, and middle-level languages. High-level languages tend to make provisions for almost all
