C is the widely used language. It provides many features that are given below.
1. Simple
2. Machine Independent or Portable
3. Mid-level programming language
4. structured programming language
5. Rich Library
6. Memory Management
7. Fast Speed
8. Pointers
9. Recursion
10. Extensible
1)Simple
C is a simple language in the sense that it provides a structured approach (to break the problem into parts), the rich set of library function, data types, etc.
2)Machine Independent or Portable
Unlike assembly language c programs can be executed on different machines with some machine specific changes. Therefore, C is a machine independent language.
3)Mid-level programming language
Although, C in intended to do low-level programming. It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver, etc. It also supports the features of a high-level language. That is why it is known as mid-level language.
4)Structured programming language
C is a structured programming language in the sense that we can break the program into parts using functions. So it is easy to understand and modify. Functions also provide code reusability.
5)Rich Library
C provides a lot of inbuilt functions that make the development fast.
6)Memory Management
It supports the features of dynamic memory allocation. In C language, we can fee the allocated memory at any time by calling the free() function.
7)Speed
The compilation and execution time of c language is fast since there are lesser in built function and hence the lesser overhead.
8)Pointer
C provides that feature of pointers. We can directly Interact with the memory by using the pointers. We can use pointers for memory structures, functions, array, etc.
9)Recursion
In C, we can call the function within the function. It provides code reusability for every function. recursion enables us to use approach of backtracking.
10)Extensible
C language is extensible because it can easily adopt new features.
