Question

The 'C' language was developed by:
1. Microsoft 
2. Alan Turing
3. Denis Ritchie
4. Blase Pascal

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Denis Ritchie

• C, computer programming language developed in the early 1970s by American computer scientist Dennis M. Ritchie at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T Bell Laboratories).
• C was designed as a minimalist language to be used in writing operating systems for minicomputers, such as the DEC PDP 7, which had very limited memories compared with the mainframe computers of the period. The language was devised during 1969–73, alongside the early development of the UNIX operating system. It was based on CPL (Combined Programming Language), which had been first condensed into the B programming language a stripped-down computer programming language created in 1969–70 by Ken Thompson, an American computer scientist and a colleague of Ritchie.

Hence the correct answer is Denis Ritchie.
