The K&R indentation style was developed for this language in a textbook by Brian Kernighan and its creator (10[1])Dennis Ritchie. (10[1])This language was created to develop the Unix standard kernel. The “free” (10[1])and “malloc” functions (10[2])are typically used to allocate memory in this language. This is the oldest in a family of languages (10[1])that use an asterisk to represent pointers, including an (10[1])object-oriented (10[1])successor developed by Bjarne Stroustrup.
