hi everyone..

predecessor to C is B..

don think it's a joke..

in UNIX OS , the assembly code was machine dependent..

so,the version could not be portable..

so Ken Thompson rewrite the whole UNIX code in the new language called B..

But B missed several necessary aspects for real life programming..

so, Ritchie invented the new language called C which solved the inadequacies of B..

that's all...

be happy.. be cool..

Why is programming language named C and not simply C?

I am guessing you typed the question wrong, the way I understand your question is "Why is the programming language named C++ and not C ? " The answer to this is that there is a programming language called C, and in that programming language the ++ means increment by one. So C++ is the language C improved, as such it can read and compile all C programs in addition to having other features that C does not have.
