C programming Language | Advantages and Disadvantages

C Programming language

C is a general-purpose computer programming language. It was created in the 1970s by Dennis Ritchie. The C language is considered as the mother language of all the modern programming languages because most of the compilers, JVMs, Kernels, etc. are written in C language, and most of the programming languages follow C syntax, for example, C++, Java, C#, etc.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of C Language

The Advantages and Disadvantages of C Language is listed below: 

Advantages of C Language

• C Programming Language Easy to Write.
• Libraries for More Practical Programming.
• C Language is Easy to Compile.
• C language for the fast execution cycle.
• The C compiler is very efficient; it quickly produces your code into machine-level code and the error detections are also at high-speed rates.
• C is Procedural-Oriented Programming Language.
• C Language Easy Debug.
• C Language Open Source.

Disadvantages of C Language

• Missing Concept of OOPs Technology ( like Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation, Abstraction, Data Hiding, overloading, and overriding.)
• Run-Time Execution Error.
• No provision for having a namespace.
