What does c stand for in C language?

It doesn't stand for anything. The 'C' language was developed as an improvement over its predecessor, which was called 'B'. (I'm not joking). The predecessor of 'B' was called 'BCPL', which was an initialism for "Basic Combined Programming Language". The ancestor of BCPL was CPL, and CPL was a descendant of ALGOL.


Why c language is named c?

C comes from B & B comes from BCPL........... TO overcome the problems of BCPL they developed B (First char of BCPL)....& B also has some disadvantages so they go for next level i.e, B's next Letter .........:::::::C ..........then v called it as C language.

Who discovered c?

C is a general-purpose language which has been closely associated with theUNIX operating system for which it was developed - since the system and most of the programs that run it are written in C. Many of the important ideas of C stem from the language BCPL, developed by Martin Richards. The influence of BCPL on C proceeded indirectly through the language B, which was written by Ken Thompson in 1970 at Bell Labs, for the first UNIX system on a DEC PDP-7. BCPL and B are "type less" languages whereas C provides a variety of data types. In 1972 Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs writes C and in 1978 the publication of The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie caused a revolution in the computing world.
