C is alphabet ...sorry just kidding;but please elaborate in future

C is a general-purpose computer programming language

gcc is the GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...)

C is a programming language.
gcc is a compiler, that is the tool that will translate your C source into a binary.

I dont think so, but the way of the question is wrong. The question might be the difference between different standards or between different compilers ,not like a language and compiler specific language ..

Excuse me, if the OP would have known that programming languages and compilers have some standards, he would not have created this thread itself !!

Your post no. 8 was meant to ridicule newbie, you need to rethink on that.

C is a standard programming language.

GCC is one of many C compilers.

GNU C is C with a few more obscure features specific to GCC.
