Definition :-

C is a general-purpose programming language used in enterprise applications, games, graphics, and applications requiring calculations, etc. It has a rich library which provides a number of built-in functions. It also offers dynamic memory allocation.

ADVANTAGES :-

☆ Requires no translator to translate the code. It is directly understood by the computer.

☆ Has good execution speed.

☆ They are portable and easier to transfer.

☆ Debugging can be done at ease.

☆ Execution of algorithms and data structures.

☆ Machine language makes fast and efficient use of the computer.

DISADVANTAGES :-

☆ It doesn't perform Run Time Type Checking. It only does compile time type checking. At run time, C doesn't ensure whether correct data type is used instead it perform automatic type conversion.

☆ All memory addresses have to be remembered
