Advantages and Disadvantages of C Language

C Language Advantages

• C is compiler based language; hence programmers can compile their program to check for any errors.
• C programming is easy to learn for the beginners.
• C language provides lot of in-built library functions.
• C is portable language. C executable program can be executed on other similar systems.
• C supports many arithmetic, logical, relational and bitwise operators.
• C provides good functionalities for System level programming. Many operating systems are developed using C language. UNIX was developed using C language.
• Low-level access to computer memory is possible using C language.
• C supports user defined function development.
• C provides good Graphics support.

C Language Disadvantages

• C is not an object oriented language; hence C does not support any Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts like Inheritance, Encapsulation and Polymorphism.
• C language does not support any exception handling.
• C does not support any runtime error checking mechanism.
• C does not provide support for namespace like C++.
