Key Features ofC
Structured Language
Can be split into multiple blocks of
execution called functions. Makes
code easier to understand.
Fast Execution
Efficient and fast execution makes it
a top choice for programmers.
Compilation and execution are quite
fast.
Built-in Functions
Help in writing complex programs
with ease. Provides essential tools
for developers.
6.
Code Reusability inC
Function Creation
Write reusable blocks of code
Recursion
Function calls itself
Fewer Lines
Reduces code redundancy
Faster Execution
Improves program performance
