C language is a famous programming language due to its qualities. Some of its qualities are: -It is robust language whose rich setup of built in functions and operator can be used to write any complex program. -Programs written in C are efficient due to several varieties of data types and powerful operators. -The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the feature of high level language. Therefore it is well suited for writing both system software and business package. -There are only 32 keywords: Several standard functions are available which can be used for developing program. -C is portable language: This means that C programs written for one computer system can be run on another system, with little or no modification. -C language is well suited for structured programming, this requires user to think of a problems in terms of function or modules or block. A collection of these modules make a program debugging and testing easier. -C language has its ability to extend itself. A c program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by the C library. We can continuously add our own functions to the library with the availability of the large number of functions. -In India and abroad mostly people use C programming language because it is easy to learn and understand.
