Does Unix use C programming or C++?
The first UNIX system was built at Bell labs,the research division of the US telephone corporation AT&T,in 1969.Prior to that date Bell had been involved in the development of a large-scale operating system,known as ” MULTICS “.However Bell pulled out of the project and decided to create a new operating system from scratch.Multics had become too complex,and it was felt that a much simpler system was needed.The name UNIX arose to emphasise that difference between it and Multics.At the same time as,Unix was being written,the language C was being designed,and in 1973 a Unix kernel was written using C.C is a high level language,which was originally created for system programmers.C++ builds on the foundation of the C ,language.In 1991,a computer science student at the University of Helsinki in Finland,Linus Torvalds,decided to create his own version of Unix,which he named LINUX.
