The Standardization of C - K&R C
|
Despite C's long history,
being first designed in the early 1970s,
it underwent considerably little change until the late 1980s.
This is a very lengthy period of time when talking about a programming
language's evolution.
The original C language was mostly designed by Dennis Ritchie and then
described by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie in their imaginatively
titled book The C Programming Language.
The language described in this seminal book,
described as the "K&R" book,
is now described as "K&R" or "old" C.
