no, an algorithm can be implemented in whatever language you like (they even exist in javascript). usually for such algorithm you only need simple data structures and arithmetics, so you don't need a high soffisticated language, and the resulting C programs will be generally faster then implementaions in higher level programming languages.

Because C stands for "_C_reate algorithms".

Since they're not, there's no real answer to your question.
