I'm painfully missing the facts here, but what should've been B via extrapolation? No arrays?
The C programming language is a foundational, general-purpose, procedural language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It is highly valued for its efficiency, performance, and ability to provide low-level access to system memory and hardware, while remaining cross-platform portable.
If it is no longer procedural, does it cease to be a computer? Wasn't there a theorist that said there were 3 things something has to do before it can be a computer?
Before C in B do you just machine code? Your keypad has just a 1 and a 0. Programming in it involves a display of 8 bits at a time so you don't get off by one. Filling a floppy is your worst nightmare. (It's a "flop" every time!)
Would A be like a calculator? (Sorry, I don't know anything.)
I will think about this some more and post more informed content.
