design

C is an imparative(procedural) system implemetation language. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run time support C was therefore useful for many applications that had formerly been coded in assemblylanguage
Despite its low-level capabilities, the language was designed to encourage cross platformprogramming. A standards-compliant and portably written C program can be compiled for a very wide variety of computer platforms and operating systems with few changes to its source code. The language has become available on a very wide range of platforms, from embedded micro controller to supercomputer
