C is a powerful, flexible language that has gained worldwide acceptance in recent years. C is concise, yet powerful in its scope. It is a high-level language that also incorporates features of low-level languages. It is becoming the standard for program development on small machines and microcomputers.

It is possible to apply C to nearly all application areas. Modularity (process of dividing problems into sub-problems) makes C ideal for projects involving several programmers. C permits nearly every programming technique. C is widely available for most brands and type of computers. It is portable. With all the features C is not a difficult language, it is one of the easiest languages to learn and implement.

C programming can be used to write any complex program because of its rich set of built-in functions and operations. C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the feature of high-level language and therefore it is very much suited for uniting both system software and business packages. Because of its variety of data types, powerful operator programs in C are efficient and fast. C has the ability to extend, it means user-defined functions can also be added to C library.
