Where C is useful?

C’s ability to communicate directly with hardware makes it a powerful choice for system programmers. In fact, popular operating systems such as Unix and Linux are written entirely in C. Additionally, even compilers and interpreters for other languages such as FORTRAN, Pascal, and BASIC are written in C. However, C’s scope is not just limited to developing system programs. It is also used to develop any kind of application, including complex business ones. The following is a partial list of areas where C language is used:

  • Embedded Systems
  • Systems Programming
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Industrial Automation
  • Computer Graphics
  • Space Research
  • Image Processing
  • Game Programming
