This is mainly designed for the people who wants to learn programming logic.
Benefits of C: As a middle level language, C combines the features of both high level and low level languages. It can be used for low-level programming, such as scripting for drivers and kernels along with embedded programming and it also supports functions of high level programming languages, such as scripting for software applications etc.
Although numerous computer languages are used for writing computer applications, the computer programming language, C, is the most popular language worldwide. Everything from microcontrollers to operating systems is written in C since it's very flexible and versatile, allowing maximum control with minimal commands.
Features of C language. It is a robust language with rich set of built-in functions and operators that can be used to write any complex program. The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with features of a high-level language. Programs Written in C are efficient and fast.
- Small size.
- Extensive use of function calls.
- Loose typing â?? unlike PASCAL.
- Structured language.
- Low level (BitWise) programming readily available.
- Pointer implementation â?? extensive use of pointers for memory, array, structures, and functions.
C is called middle-level language because it is actually bind the gap between a machine level language and high-level languages. User can use c language to do System Programming (for writing operating system) as well as Application Programming (for generate menu driven customer billing system).
