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.

Who discovered c?

C is a general-purpose language which has been closely associated with theUNIX operating system for which it was developed - since the system and most of the programs that run it are written in C. Many of the important ideas of C stem from the language BCPL, developed by Martin Richards. The influence of BCPL on C proceeded indirectly through the language B, which was written by Ken Thompson in 1970 at Bell Labs, for the first UNIX system on a DEC PDP-7. BCPL and B are "type less" languages whereas C provides a variety of data types. In 1972 Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs writes C and in 1978 the publication of The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie caused a revolution in the computing world.


Why c language is named c?

C comes from B & B comes from BCPL...........

What language that comebefor c?

The language that immediately preceded the C language was reportedly the B language, developed by Bell Labs in the late 1960s. C was a language developed to correct the language deficiencies in B, which was seen as a regressive step from its predecessor, BCPL. C allowed efficient data structures and better access to the hardware than B, and became both the predominate language of the 1970s and influenced virtually every major language to follow up to even today's most modern languages.
