C language is derived from the B language, which is in turn derived from the BCPL language. In the BCPL (invented in 1967), there is a distinction between subroutines and functions. In B language (invented in 1969), both subroutines and functions are simply called functions. Source:
I see. well, I chose C as my first programming language. It has not been easy at all but progress is being gradually made. The amount of understanding required to Write C easily and well is not small. I wonder what exactly does your blog aim to do, Can it help me improve?
