C is a high-level programming language that was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan at AT&T Bell Labs. C was designed to be a portable, efficient language that could be used for system programming as well as application development.
C is considered a middle-level language because it can be used to write programs that interact with low-level hardware devices as well as high-level applications.
The C programming language is one of the most popular languages in use today, particularly for systems programming and embedded systems development. It is also widely used in scientific computing and data analysis.
