The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s by Dennis M. Ritchie an employee from Bell Labs (AT&T). In the 1960s Ritchie worked, with several other employees of Bell Labs (AT&T), on a project called Multics. The goal of the project was to develop an operating system for a large computer that could be used by a thousand users. In 1969 AT&T (Bell Labs) withdrew from the project, because the project could not produce an economically useful system. So the employees of Bell Labs (AT&T) had to search for another project to work on (mainly Dennis M.
The C++ library includes the same definitions as the C language library organized in the same structure of header files, with the following differences: Each header file has the same name as the C language version but with a " c " prefix and no extension. For example, the C++ equivalent for the C language header file <stdlib.h> is <cstdlib> . Every element of the library is defined within the std namespace.
