- Hiya all. Copies of replies to email please.
-
- I'm interested in peoples comments on the following aspects of the C
- programming language. Please be as objective as you can.. :) I know that's
- hard in a C advocacy group. :)
-
- 1: Is C inheriantly efficient (speed and code space wise)?
- 2: Is C inheriantly very readable and writable? (Easy to code in and for non
- coders to read)
- 3: Is C a very simple language?
- 4: Is it consistant with accepted mathematical notations?
- 5: Why was C designed and for what purpose?
-
-
- Yeah this sounds like homework and it is. But you can help me out eh... ;)
-
- Ciao.
