    The increasing popularity of C is probably due to its many desirable qualities. It is a robust language whose rich set of built-in functions and operators can be used to write any complex program. The C complier combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the features of a high-level language and therefore it is well suited for writing both system software and business packages.
    Programs written in C are efficient and fast. This is due to its variety of data types and powerful operators. It is many times faster than BASIC. There are 32 keywords in ANSI C and its strength lies in its built-in functions.
    C is highly portable. This means that C programs written for one computer can be run on another with little or no modification. In fact, many of the C compliers available in the market are written in C.
    Features of C:
    · C language is well suited for structured programming.
    · C program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by the C library.
    · With the availability of a large number of functions, the programming task becomes simple.
    · The modular structure makes program debugging, testing and maintenance easier.
