C is an imperative programming language, first seen in the 1970s. It was developed for Unix running on a PDP-11 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie while they worked for AT&T Bell Labs.

It is reasonably low level (some people have called it a glorified assembly language) and efficient, but can be complicated and difficult to maintain. Though use of good coding practices, such as structured analysis, can greatly improve maintainability.
