Detailed explanation-1: -This feature makes it an efficient language because system level resources, such as memory, can be accessed easily. The C programming language is so popular because it is known as the mother of all programming languages. This language is widely flexible to use memory management.
Detailed explanation-2: -C is a structured (modular) programming language that allows the programmer to break his codes into smaller fragments to improve the readability of the code and hence make the program less redundant and simple. The portability feature of C also plays an important role in making it an evergreen language.
Detailed explanation-3: -The C programming language was created with the intention of writing UNIX operating systems. Furthermore, the execution time of programmes written in C is comparable to that of assembly language, making C the most important component in the development of multiple operating systems.
Detailed explanation-4: -The C language was developed in 1971-73. Note that for all its limitations, C owes its birth to B because C retained a lot of what B offered, while adding features such as data types and data structures. The name C was chosen because it succeeded B. In its early days, C was designed keeping UNIX in mind.
