Who developed the 'bcpl' language?
The BCPL language was developed by Martin Richards at the University of Cambridge in the early 1960s. It served as a precursor to the B programming language created by Ken Thompson at Bell Labs.
What language did the C language replaced?
B, a stripped down version of BCPL. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCPL
What is BCPL?
BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) is a procedural, imperative, and structured computer programming language designed by Martin Richards of the University of Cambridge in 1966.
What is the origin of the C programming language?
C evolved from BCPL.
What is the full form of BCPL?
Basic Computer Programming Language
When was BCPL created?
BCPL was created in 1966.
What does c stand for in C language?
It doesn't stand for anything. The 'C' language was developed as an improvement over its predecessor, which was called 'B'. (I'm not joking). The predecessor of 'B' was called 'BCPL', which was an initialism for "Basic Combined Programming Language". The ancestor of BCPL was CPL, and CPL was a descendant of ALGOL.
What has the author Richard Martin written?
Richard Martin has written: 'Vote for murder' 'Keys to crime'
Did C language come before the B language?
No, C came after B. However C actually evolved from BCPL which was itself evolved from B.
Why c language is named c?
C comes from B & B comes from BCPL........... TO overcome the problems of BCPL they developed B (First char of BCPL)....& B also has some disadvantages so they go for next level i.e, B's next Letter .........:::::::C ..........then v called it as C language.

Who are the ancestors of C programming language?
programming languages B and BCPL which was used to derive C
How did clanguage get its name?
The name comes from its derivative nature.C began as a derivative of a language called B, and B got its name because it was a simplified form of another language called BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language).
