C
A programming language designed by Dennis Ritchie
at AT&T Bell Labs ca. 1972 for systems programming on the
PDP-11 and immediately used to reimplement Unix.
It was called "C" because many features derived from an
earlier compiler named "{B". In fact, C was briefly named
"NB". B was itself strongly influenced by BCPL. Before
Bjarne Stroustrup settled the question by designing C++,
there was a humorous debate over whether C's successor should
be named "D" or "P" (following B and C in "BCPL").
C is terse, low-level and permissive. It has a macro
preprocessor, cpp.
Partly due to its distribution with Unix, C became immensely
popular outside Bell Labs after about 1980 and is now the
dominant language in systems and microcomputer applications
programming. It has grown popular due to its simplicity,
efficiency, and flexibility. C programs are often easily
adapted to new environments.
C is often described, with a mixture of fondness and disdain,
as "a language that combines all the elegance and power of
assembly language with all the readability and
maintainability of assembly language".
Ritchie's original C, known as K&R C after Kernighan and
Ritchie's book, has been standardised (and simultaneously
modified) as ANSI C.

An ASCII rendition of the encircled "c" copyright symbol.
Unfortunately, this rendition is not legally valid, the circle
must be complete. The word "copyright" in full is perfectly
adequate though.

C*
An object-oriented, data-parallel
superset of ANSI C with synchronous semantics, for the
Connection Machine, designed by Thinking Machines, 1987.
C* adds a "domain" data type and a selection statement for
parallel execution in domains.
An unimplemented language called "{Parallel C" [which one?]
influenced the design of C*. Dataparallel-C was based on
C*.

C+-
(C More or Less) A subject-oriented language (SOL).
Each C+- class instance, known as a subject, holds hidden
members, known as prejudices, agendas or undeclared
preferences, which are impervious to outside messages; as well
as public members, known as boasts or claims.
The following C operators are overridden as shown:
> better than
< worse than
>> way better than
<< forget it
! not on your life
== comparable, other things being equal
!== get a life, guy!
C+- is strongly typed, based on stereotyping and
self-righteous logic. The Boolean variables TRUE and
FALSE (known as constants in other, less realistic languages)
are supplemented with CREDIBLE and DUBIOUS, which are fuzzier
than Zadeh's traditional fuzzy categories. All Booleans can
be declared with the modifiers strong and weak. Weak
implication is said to "preserve deniability" and was added at
the request of the DoD to ensure compatibility with future
versions of Ada. Well-formed falsehoods (WFFs) are
assignment-compatible with all Booleans. What-if and
why-not interactions are aided by the special conditional
EVENIFNOT X THEN Y.
C+- supports information hiding and, among friend classes
only, rumor sharing. Borrowing from the Eiffel lexicon,
non-friend classes can be killed by arranging contracts. Note
that friendships are intransitive, volatile and
non-{Abelian.
Operator precedence rules can be suspended with the
directive #pragma dwim, known as the "{Do what I mean"
pragma.
ANSIfication will be firmly resisted. C+-'s slogan is "Be
Your Own Standard."

C++
One of the most used object-oriented languages, a
superset of C developed primarily by Bjarne Stroustrup
at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1986.
In C++ a class is a user-defined type, syntactically a
struct with member functions. Constructors and
destructors are member functions called to create or destroy
instances. A friend is a nonmember function that is
allowed to access the private portion of a class. C++ allows
implicit type conversion, function inlining, overloading
of operators and function names, and default function
arguments. It has streams for I/O and references.
C++ 2.0 (May 1989) introduced multiple inheritance,
type-safe linkage, pointers to members, and abstract
classes.
C++ 2.1 was introduced in ["Annotated C++ Reference Manual",
B. Stroustrup et al, A-W 1990].

C+@
(Formerly Calico). An object-oriented language from Bell
Laboratories which uniformly represents all data as a pointer
to a self-described object. C+@ provides multiple
inheritance with delegation and with control over which
methods come from which delegated object; and default
methodologies. It has a simple syntax with emphasis on
graphics. It was originally used for prototyping of
telecommunication services.
Unir Tech has the exclusive license from Bell Labs to
distribute C+@. Unfortunately Unir is owned and operated by
well-known anti-{IETF ranter, Jim Fleming, which may have had
something to do with the language's rapid disappearence from
the radar screen.
It runs under SunOS and compiles to Vcode.

Gastropoda \Gas*trop"o*da\, n. pl., [NL., fr. Gr. ?, ?, stomach
+ -poda.] (Zo["o]l.)
One of the classes of Mollusca, of great extent. It includes
most of the marine spiral shells, and the land and
fresh-water snails. They generally creep by means of a flat,
muscular disk, or foot, on the ventral side of the body. The
head usually bears one or two pairs of tentacles. See
Mollusca. [Written also Gasteropoda.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: The Gastropoda are divided into three subclasses; viz.:
({a) The Streptoneura or Dioecia, including the
Pectinibranchiata, Rhipidoglossa, Docoglossa, and
Heteropoda. ({b) The Euthyneura, including the
Pulmonata and Opisthobranchia. ({c) The Amphineura,
including the Polyplacophora and Aplacophora.

Language \Lan"guage\, n. [OE. langage, F. langage, fr. L. lingua
the tongue, hence speech, language; akin to E. tongue. See
Tongue, cf. Lingual.]
[1913 Webster]
1. Any means of conveying or communicating ideas;
specifically, human speech; the expression of ideas by the
voice; sounds, expressive of thought, articulated by the
organs of the throat and mouth.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Language consists in the oral utterance of sounds which
usage has made the representatives of ideas. When two
or more persons customarily annex the same sounds to
the same ideas, the expression of these sounds by one
person communicates his ideas to another. This is the
primary sense of language, the use of which is to
communicate the thoughts of one person to another
through the organs of hearing. Articulate sounds are
represented to the eye by letters, marks, or
characters, which form words.
[1913 Webster]
2. The expression of ideas by writing, or any other
instrumentality.
[1913 Webster]
3. The forms of speech, or the methods of expressing ideas,
peculiar to a particular nation.
[1913 Webster]
4. The characteristic mode of arranging words, peculiar to an
individual speaker or writer; manner of expression; style.
[1913 Webster]
Others for language all their care express. --Pope.
[1913 Webster]
5. The inarticulate sounds by which animals inferior to man
express their feelings or their wants.
[1913 Webster]
6. The suggestion, by objects, actions, or conditions, of
ideas associated therewith; as, the language of flowers.
[1913 Webster]
There was . . . language in their very gesture.
--Shak.
[1913 Webster]
7. The vocabulary and phraseology belonging to an art or
department of knowledge; as, medical language; the
language of chemistry or theology.
[1913 Webster]
8. A race, as distinguished by its speech. [R.]
[1913 Webster]
All the people, the nations, and the languages, fell
down and worshiped the golden image. --Dan. iii. 7.
[1913 Webster]
9. Any system of symbols created for the purpose of
communicating ideas, emotions, commands, etc., between
sentient agents.
[PJC]
10. Specifically: (computers) Any set of symbols and the
rules for combining them which are used to specify to a
computer the actions that it is to take; also referred to
as a computer lanugage or programming language; as,
JAVA is a new and flexible high-level language which has
achieved popularity very rapidly.
[PJC]
Note: Computer languages are classed a low-level if each
instruction specifies only one operation of the
computer, or high-level if each instruction may specify
a complex combination of operations. Machine language
and assembly language are low-level computer
languages. FORTRAN, COBOL and C are high-level
computer languages. Other computer languages, such as
JAVA, allow even more complex combinations of low-level
operations to be performed with a single command. Many
programs, such as databases, are supplied with special
languages adapted to manipulate the objects of concern
for that specific program. These are also high-level
languages.
[PJC]
Language master, a teacher of languages. [Obs.]
Syn: Speech; tongue; idiom; dialect; phraseology; diction;
discourse; conversation; talk.
Usage: Language, Speech, Tongue, Idiom, Dialect.
Language is generic, denoting, in its most extended
use, any mode of conveying ideas; speech is the
language of articulate sounds; tongue is the
Anglo-Saxon term for language, esp. for spoken
language; as, the English tongue. Idiom denotes the
forms of construction peculiar to a particular
language; dialects are varieties of expression which
spring up in different parts of a country among people
speaking substantially the same language.

changes in the position of the moon's surface relatively
to the earth, in consequence of which narrow portions at
opposite limbs become visible or invisible alternately. It
receives different names according to the manner in which
it takes place; as: (a) Libration in longitude, that
which, depending on the place of the moon in its elliptic
orbit, causes small portions near the eastern and western
borders alternately to appear and disappear each month.
({b) Libration in latitude, that which depends on the
varying position of the moon's axis in respect to the

C \C\ (s[=e])
1. C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from
the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the
sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the
latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the
Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C
was the same letter as the Greek [Gamma], [gamma], and
came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the
Ph[oe]nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin
name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French.
Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other
sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L.
acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L.
cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare,
OF. cerchier, E. search.

C++ /C'-pluhs-pluhs/ n. Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup of AT&T Bell Labs
as a successor to C. Now one of the languages of choice, although
many hackers still grumble that it is the successor to either Algol 68
or Ada (depending on generation), and a prime example of
second-system effect. Almost anything that can be done in any language
can be done in C++, but it requires a language lawyer to know what is
and what is not legal-- the design is _almost_ too large to hold in even
hackers' heads. Much of the cruft results from C++'s attempt to be
backward compatible with C. Stroustrup himself has said in his
retrospective book "The Design and Evolution of C++" (p. 207), "Within
C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get
out." [Many hackers would now add "Yes, and it's called Java" --ESR]
From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) : [ jargon ]
C n. 1. The third letter of the English alphabet. 2. ASCII 1000011. 3.
The name of a programming language designed by Dennis Ritchie during the
{Unix" rel="nofollow">early 1970s and immediately used to reimplement {Unix; so called
because many features derived from an earlier compiler named `B' in
commemoration of _its_ parent, BCPL. (BCPL was in turn descended from an
earlier Algol-derived language, CPL.) Before Bjarne Stroustrup settled
the question by designing C++, there was a humorous debate over
whether C's successor should be named `D' or `P'. C became immensely
popular outside Bell Labs after about 1980 and is now the dominant
language in systems and microcomputer applications programming. See also
languages of choice, indent style.
C is often described, with a mixture of fondness and disdain varying
according to the speaker, as "a language that combines all the elegance
and power of assembly language with all the readability and
maintainability of assembly language".

of a balance before coming to rest.
Libration of the moon, any one of those small periodical
changes in the position of the moon's surface relatively
to the earth, in consequence of which narrow portions at
opposite limbs become visible or invisible alternately. It
receives different names according to the manner in which
it takes place; as: (a) Libration in longitude, that
which, depending on the place of the moon in its elliptic
orbit, causes small portions near the eastern and western
borders alternately to appear and disappear each month.
({b) Libration in latitude, that which depends on the
varying position of the moon's axis in respect to the
spectator, causing the alternate appearance and
disappearance of either pole. ({c) Diurnal or parallactic
libration, that which brings into view on the upper limb,
at rising and setting, some parts not in the average
visible hemisphere.

C \C\ (s[=e])
1. C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from
the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the
sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the
latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the
Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C
was the same letter as the Greek [Gamma], [gamma], and
came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the
Ph[oe]nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin
name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French.
Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other
sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L.
acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L.
cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare,
OF. cerchier, E. search.
Note: See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 221-228.
2. (Mus.)
(a) The keynote of the normal or ``natural'' scale, which
has neither flats nor sharps in its signature; also,

each measure is a semibreve (four fourths or
crotchets); for alla breve time it is written ?.
(c) The ``C clef,'' a modification of the letter C, placed
on any line of the staff, shows that line to be middle
C.
3. As a numeral, C stands for Latin centum or 100, CC for
200, etc.
C spring, a spring in the form of the letter C.
