c program language naming reason

WHY C PROGRAM HAS ITS NAME AS C
The C language is called so because of a very simple reason. It was named after the language, that was called B. The very first Unix systems were written in low level assembler language. These systems were built for working with PDP-7, the minicomputer, that was introduced in 1965. Ken Thompson developed a compiler for high level language, that was called B. This was a new approach in computer programming. The B language helped to avoid thousands of pages of delicate and strict assembler programming. It enabled the possibility to express given task in only a few lines of code. The development of B language helped to improve Unix system much more faster. The programming became convenient, fast and creative. The 16-bit microcomputer PDP-11 was released in 1970. After this computer have arrived at Bell Laboratories, Dennis Ritchie started working with it. He worked with B language to create a new language. He called this high level language as C. This name is very concise and easy to remember. But the reason why C become so popular is it's functionality and very well developed structure.
