Is C low-level? AFAIK, it is a mid-level language. --[[User:Alex Bravo|Rion]] 18:22, 23 February 2007 (CST) | Is C low-level? AFAIK, it is a mid-level language. --[[User:Alex Bravo|Rion]] 18:22, 23 February 2007 (CST) | ||
:In terms of language feature and design, C could rightly be considered a mid-level language. However (and this is my opinion), it should today be more classified at a lower level, perhaps called "bottom of mid-level or top of low-level". The reason I hold this opinion about C is because more and more of higher level programming that in years (or decades) past might have been done in C are now being done in other languages at a higher level, such as [[Python_%28programming_language%29|Python]].

Is it ok, if C will be one of the branches of [[programming languages]]? as well as any other progr. lang of course. It will unite every language we can come up with for computers. If you like it, add your name as one of the authors please. [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]] | [[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]] 14:34, 24 February 2007 (CST) | |||
Revision as of 15:34, 24 February 2007
hi, it is ritchie and kernigan who developed it, Bjarne Stroustroup did create a subset now called C++. Robert Tito | Talk 11:45, 23 February 2007 (CST)
- C++ is not a subset of C. It is (at least mostly) a superset of C89. C99 has new features that are in part taken back from C++ and in part new to C and not (yet) included in C++. Phil Howard 10:48, 24 February 2007 (CST)
Thanks, adding right now.
