C (programmin leid)

In computin, C (/ˈsiː/, as in the letter C) is a general-purpose programmin leid initially developed bi Dennis Ritchie atween 1969 an 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs.^[4] Lik maist imperative leids in the ALGOL tradeetion, C haes facilities for structured programmin an allaes lexical variable scope an recursion, while a static type seestem prevents mony unintendit operations. Its design provides constructs that cairt efficiently tae teepical machine instructions, an tharefore it haes foond lastin uise in applications that haed umwhile been codit in assembly leid, maist notably seestem saftware lik the Unix computer operatin seestem.^[5]
