Design
C
is an imperative (procedural) 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
assembly language, such as in system programming.
Despite its low-level capabilities, the language was designed to encourage cross-platform programming. 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 microcontrollers to supercomputers.
