So the story goes, they used to play an "asteroids" game on the company mainframe computer. Unfortunately the performance of the machine left a lot to be desired. With the power of a 386 and around 100 users, they found they did not have sufficient control over the "spaceship". The were usually destroyed quickly by passing asteroids.</i></div> <div> <i>              Taking this rather personally, the decided to re-implement the game on a DEC PDP-7 which was sitting idle in the office. The language that was chosen was to be a variant of another language in use at the time ,called B. B is a word oriented language ideally suited to the PDP-7, but its facilities were not powerful enough to take advantage of the PDP-11 instruction set. Thus a new language C was invented.</i></div> <div> <i><br /></i></div> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> <i>Standardization</i></h4> <div> <i>C turned out very popular and by the early 1980's hundreds of implementation  were being used by rapidly growing community of programmers. It was time to standardize the language.</i></div> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> <i>ANSI</i></h4> <div> <i>In America, the responsibility for standardizing languages is that of the American National Standards Institute , or ANSI.The language is now defined by ANSI Standard X3.159-1989.</i></div> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> <i> ISO</i></h4> <div> <i>In the  International Arena, The International Standards Organization or ISO, is responsible for Standardizing computer languages.The ISO standard is thus the final authority on what constitutes the C programming language.</i></div> </div>
