The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors' initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined.
Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – c. October 12, 2011) was an American computer scientist. [3] He created the C programming language and the Unix operating system and B language with long-time colleague Ken Thompson . [ 3 ]

He worked at Bell Labs and contributed to the development of Unix alongside Unix creators Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. Kernighan's name became widely known through co-authorship of the first book on the C programming language (The C Programming Language) with Dennis Ritchie. Kernighan affirmed that he had no part in the design of the C ...
The Portable C Compiler (also known as pcc or sometimes pccm - portable C compiler machine) is an early compiler for the C programming language written by Stephen C. Johnson of Bell Labs in the mid-1970s, [1] based in part on ideas proposed by Alan Snyder in 1973, [2] [3] and "distributed as the C compiler by Bell Labs... with the blessing of Dennis Ritchie."
Martin Richards (born 21 July 1940) is a British computer scientist known for his development of the BCPL programming language [3] which is both part of early research into portable software, and the ancestor of the B programming language invented by Ken Thompson in early versions of Unix and which Dennis Ritchie in turn used as the basis of his widely used C programming language.
The LOOP language was formulated in a 1967 paper by Albert R. Meyer and Dennis M. Ritchie. [2] They showed the correspondence between the LOOP language and primitive recursive functions. The language also was the topic of the unpublished PhD thesis of Ritchie. [3] [4] It was also presented by Uwe Schöning, along with GOTO and WHILE. [5]
