Uses of C

C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make up the operating system.

C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as the code written in assembly language.

Some Examples:

• Operating Systems
• Language Compilers
• Assemblers
• Text Editors
• Print Spoolers
• Network Drivers
• Modern Programs
• Databases
• Language Interpreters
• Utility Softwares
