'''C''' is the name of a [[procedural programming|procedural]], [[imperative programming|imperative]] [[programming language]] developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. It was a major improvement over the earlier languages BCPL and B.

C is still a popular choice for projects where speed and small program size are important considerations, such as embedded firmware. A significant portion of the [[Linux]] [[kernel]] was written in C. The syntax of C inspired many later languages such as C++, [[Java]] and [[C Sharp]]. Many C compilers also support low-level programming via integrated inline assemblers.

== "Hello World!" program ==
An example program often used for languages is something that displays "Hello, World!".
<pre>
<pre>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
