FEATURES OF C LANGUAGE

  1. Rich set of operator : It is a robust language with rich set of built-in functions and operators that can be used to write any complex program.
  2. C is combination of high and assembly(low level) language: The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with features of a high-level language.
  3. C is efficient and fast : Programs Written in C are efficient and fast. This is due to its variety of data type and powerful operators.
  4. It is many time faster than BASIC.
  5. C is Portable: C is highly portable this means that programs once written can be run on another machines with little or no modification. Compiler and Preprocessor make it Possible for C Program to run it on Different PC
  6. Another important feature of C program, is its ability to extend itself.
  7. A C program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by C library. We can also create our own function and add it to C library.
  8. C language is the most widely used language in operating systems and embedded system development today.
  9. Bit Manipulation: C Programs can be manipulated using bits. We can perform different operations at bit level. We can manage memory representation at bit level. Eg. We can use Structure to manage Memory at Bit Level. It provides wide verity of bit manipulation Operators. We have bitwise operators to manage Data at bit level.
  10. Modularity: Modular programming is a software design technique that increases the extent to which software is composed of separate parts, called modules. C Program Consist of Different Modules that are integrated together to form complete program
