I'm not sure what "C" stands for
Well, it was named "C" because it came after another programming language.

The previous one was called "B".

Any questions?

"Before C there was BCPL -- Basic Combined Programming Language -- which influenced a language called "B". Then a new language developed as an enhanced version of B, so it was named C."

Now for extra credit, what programming language came before "B"?

Oooooh - yes! It was "A" or "APL", also know as "A Programming Language".

Computer geeks are smart .

And creative too!

(And with that, is it any wonder that we needed Steve Jobs to rescue mankind?)
