C
1. C is commonly used to describe the C: drive or the first hard disk drive on IBM compatible computers.
2. The C programming language is also a high-level programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan at Bell Labs in 1972 from an almost unknown language named B. The first major program written in C was the Unix operating system, and for many years, C was considered to be inextricably linked with Unix. Below is an example of a C program that prints Hello World! after it's been compiled. If you need a free C compiler consider GCC.
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf ("Hello World!\n");
}
3. The abbreviation for Celsius.
4. Shorthand for see or sea.
