C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C was the same letter as the Greek /, /, and came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the Ph/nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French. Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L. acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L. cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare, OF. cerchier, E. search., The keynote of the normal or "natural" scale, which has neither flats nor sharps in its signature; also, the third note of the relative minor scale of the same., C after the clef is the mark of common time, in which each measure is a semibreve (four fourths or crotchets); for alla breve time it is written /., The "C clef," a modification of the letter C, placed on any line of the staff, shows that line to be middle C., As a numeral, C stands for Latin centum or 100, CC for 200, etc.

The C Programming language is a computer programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie for use on the Unix operating system.It is one of the most widely used programming languages.It is also commonly used in computer science education, despite not being designed for novices.

C is a general-purpose computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories to implement the Unix operating system.

Although C was designed for writing architecturally independent system software, it is also widely used for developing application software.

Worldwide, C is the first or second most popular language in terms of number of developer positions or publicly available code. It is widely used on many different software platforms, and there are few computer architectures for which a C compiler does not exist. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C++, which originally began as an extension to C, and Java and C# which borrow C lexical conventions and operators.

C does not stand for anything. It was heavily influenced by the B programming language, and was named C as a "successor" language.

A programming language; because it's derivated from the former B-language.
