C is a programming language. The C language was first developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell Labs. Ritchie called his newly developed language C simply because there was a B programming language already. (As a matter of fact, the B language led to the development of C.)
C is a high-level programming language. In fact, C is one of the most popular general-purpose programming languages.

The high-level programming languages, on the other hand, are closer to our human languages. >>>>
