Features of C Language
·
C is a robust language
with a rich set of built-in functions and operators.
·
Portable.
·
Memory Management.
·
C provides the use of Pointers
and Recursion.
·
Machine independent.
·
Case Sensitive (like A
and a are different).
·
Programs written in C
are efficient and fast.
·
C is highly portable,
programs once written in C can be run on other machines with minor or no
modification.
·
C Language is not High
level Language nor Low level Language it is Middle Level Language.
·
C is a collection of C
library functions; we can also create our function and add it to the C library.
·
C has Rich Library.
·
C is easily extensible.

Advantages of C
·
C is the building block
for many other programming languages.
·
Easy to learn.
·
It produces efficient programs.
·
It can be
compiled on a variety of computer platforms
·
It can handle low-level activities
·
Programs written in C
are highly portable.
·
Several standard
functions are there (like in-built) that can be used to develop programs.
·
C programs are
collections of C library functions, and it's also easy to add own functions to
the C library.
·
The modular structure
makes code debugging, maintenance and testing easier.
Disadvantages of C
·
C does not provide
Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
·
C provides no data
protection.
·
There are no concepts of
Namespace in C.
·
It also doesn't feature
reusability of source code extensively.
·
C does not provide
binding or wrapping up of data in a single unit.
·
Difficult to debug.
·
C does not provide
Constructor and Destructor.
·
C allows a lot of
freedom in writing code, and that is why you can put an empty line or white
space anywhere in the program. And because there is no fixed place to
start or end the line, so it is difficult to read and understand the program.
·
C compilers can only
identify errors and are incapable of handling exceptions (run-time errors).
·
It does not provide
strict data type checking (for example an integer value can be passed for
floating datatype).
·
C does not support
documentation comment. Even C++ does not support documentation comment.
