C-Language was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1972 and 1973. It was created to make utilities running on Unix. After sometimes it was applied to re-implementing the kernel of the Unix operating system.
In 1978 Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie published the first edition of the C-Programming language. This books known as "K&R", served for many years as an informal specification of the language.
During the late 1970s and 1980s, versions of C were implemented for a wide variety of main frame computers, mini-computers and micro-computers including the IBM PC, as its popularity began to increase significantly.
In 1983 The American National Standards Institute(ANSI) formed a committee, X3J11, to establish a standard specification of C.
In 1990,the ANSI C standard (with formatting changes) was adopted by the International Organization for Standardization(ISO) as ISO/IEC 9899:1990, which is some times called C90.
After that many version of language were published like C99, which was published in late 1990s, later C11 in 2011 and C18 in 2018 were being published consequently. C18 is the current version which was published in June 2018.
