C language

  Data Types in C A data type specifies the type of data that a variable can store such as integer, floating, character, etc. There are the following data types in C language. Types Data Types Basic Data Type int, char, float, double Derived Data Type array, pointer, structure, union Enumeration Data Type enum Void Data Type void Basic Data Types The basic data types are integer-based and floating-point based. C language supports both signed and unsigned literals. The memory size of the basic data types may change according to 32 or 64-bit operating system. Let's see the basic data types. Its size is given  according to 32-bit architecture . Data Types Memory Size Range char 1 byte −128 to 127 signed char 1 byte −128 to 127 unsigned char 1 byte 0 to 255 short 2 byte −32,768 to 32,767 signed short ...

  Features of C Language C is the widely used language. It provides many  features  that are given below. Simple Machine Independent or Portable Mid-level programming language structured programming language Rich Library Memory Management Fast Speed Pointers Recursion Extensible 1) Simple C is a simple language in the sense that it provides a  structured approach  (to break the problem into parts),  the rich set of library functions ,  data types , etc. 2) Machine Independent or Portable Unlike assembly language, c programs  can be executed on different machines  with some machine specific changes. Therefore, C is a machine independent language. 3) Mid-level programming language Although, C is  intended to do low-level programming . It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver, etc. It  also supports the features of a high-level language . That is why it is known as mid-level languag...
