Advantages and Disadvantages of C
Advantages of C
1. Efficiency:
o C provides close-to-hardware programming capabilities, enabling
efficient memory and CPU usage.
o Programs written in C often execute faster than those written in
higher-level languages.
2. Portability:
o C programs are highly portable; once written, they can be compiled
on different platforms with minimal changes.
3. Wide Use and Support:
o C is a widely used language with an extensive user base, ensuring a
wealth of libraries, tools, and community support.
4. Rich Set of Built-In Functions:
o C offers a comprehensive library of functions for handling tasks such
as file I/O, memory management, and string manipulation.
5. Foundation for Other Languages:
o C has influenced many modern programming languages like C++,
Java, and Python. Learning C provides a strong foundation for
understanding these languages.
6. System-Level Programming:
o C is ideal for developing system-level applications such as operating
systems, embedded systems, and compilers due to its low-level
features.
7. Flexibility:
o The language allows both high-level programming and low-level
memory manipulation using pointers and direct memory access.
