The C Programming Language

Index The C Programming Language

The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors' initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined. [1]

"Hello, World!" program

A "Hello, World!" program is generally a simple computer program which outputs (or displays) to the screen (often the console) a message similar to "Hello, World!" while ignoring any user input.

See The C Programming Language and "Hello, World!" program

ANSI C

ANSI C, ISO C, and Standard C are successive standards for the C programming language published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The C Programming Language and ANSI C are c (programming language).

See The C Programming Language and ANSI C

B (programming language)

B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie.

See The C Programming Language and B (programming language)

Bell Labs

Bell Labs is an American industrial research and scientific development company credited with the development of radio astronomy, the transistor, the laser, the photovoltaic cell, the charge-coupled device (CCD), information theory, the Unix operating system, and the programming languages B, C, C++, S, SNOBOL, AWK, AMPL, and others.

Computer programming

Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks.

De facto

De facto describes practices that exist in reality, regardless of whether they are officially recognized by laws or other formal norms.

Kernel (operating system)

The kernel is a computer program at the core of a computer's operating system and generally has complete control over everything in the system.

See The C Programming Language and Kernel (operating system)

Linux

Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

See The C Programming Language and Linux

Operating system

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

See The C Programming Language and Operating system

Prentice Hall

Prentice Hall was a major American educational publisher.

Technical writing

Technical writing is a specialized form of communication used by many of today's industrial and scientific organizations to clearly and accurately convey complex information to a user.

See The C Programming Language and Technical writing

The C++ Programming Language

The C++ Programming Language is a computer programming book first published in October 1985.
