Dennis Ritchie
Bjarne Stroustrup is the recognized inventor of the C++ object oriented programming language. C++ was an enhancement to the C language, which was not object oriented.
Dennis Ritchie "offically" created the C programming language while working at Bell labs. However, Ken Thompson should also be mentioned since he created a slightly lesser known language called B which is the basis of the C language. Ritchie added "types" and other changes but kept most of B's syntax.
Bjarne Stroustrup, who began development of the language, originally called C with Classes, in 1978. The name was changed to C++ in 1983. The first generic release appeared in 1985.
C-language was derived from B-language.
Before the invention of C, there was a language named 'B'. So, to overcome some drawbacks in this B-language, C had been invented.
Dennis Ritchie in 1972 in AT & T's Bell labs
C is descendent from another programing language called B which was at that time when 'C' was invented. That's why it derived its name as 'C' successive to 'B'.
The C programming language was invented by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. C development is related to the UNIX platform.
