Features of C language

Features of C language

C language is a very simple and easy language and It is mainly used to develop desktop-based applications.

All other programming languages were derived directly or indirectly from C language concepts.

 These are the following features of C language:-

1. Simple

  • C language is a simple and easy programming language for both writing and learning, therefore most of the computer programming languages follow its syntax and concepts, like C++, Java, C#, etc.

2. Portable

  • C programs are portable. It means that a programmer can run C language programs on different platforms with little modification or without modification.

3. Platform Dependent

  • C language is Platform dependent, means that If we (developed and compiled )execute c program in one operating system, then we can't execute the same program on other operating systems.

  • Note:(.obj) file of C language is platform dependent.

4. Powerful

  • C is a very powerful programming language, It has a wide verity of data types, functions, control statements, etc...

  • The C language is used compilers and interpreters.

5. Compiler Based

  • C is a compiler-based programming language that means without compilation no C code can be executed. First, we need compiler to compile our code and then execute.

6. Fast Speed

  • The compilation and execution time of C programs is much faster than any other language.

  • C language is one of the fastest computer programming languages because C language is very close to the machine.

7. Middle level Language

  • C language is a middle-level programming language, because it contains features of both low-level and high-level programming languages that's why it is called middle-level programming language.

  • It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver   etc...

8. Structured Programming Language

  • C language is a structured oriented programming language, We can divide a big C program into a several different blocks. So it reduce the complexity of code and it is easy to understand and modify.

9. Rich Library

  • C language provides a lot of inbuilt functions and libraries like stdio.h, math.h, string.h  etc...

  • These libraries help us to create C programs or applications easily and make working with C faster.

10. Extensible

  • C language is an extensible programming language because we can easily add new features in C language.

11. Case Sensitive

  • It is a case sensitive programming language. In C programming 'while and WHILE' both are different.

12. Memory Management

  • C language provides better memory management using a pointer. Most memory-related software is written in C language like Compilers, DBMS etc...

  • We can allocate dynamic memory at runtime in C using pointer functions like malloc(), calloc(), alloc(), free()   etc...

13. Pointer

  • C provides the feature of pointers. So we can directly interact with the memory by using the pointers.

  • We can use pointers for  memory, structures, functions, array  etc...

14. Recursion

  • Recursion is a technique that provides code reusability.

  • Recursion is common techniques used in C language, where a function calls itself again and again for doing a specific task.

AssertionError: SessionMiddleware Must Be Installed

  Fixing the "AssertionError: SessionMiddleware Must Be Installed" in FastAPI This error typically occurs when you try to access  request.session  in custom middleware before the  SessionMiddleware  has been properly applied. Here's how you can resolve this issue and ensure smooth session handling in your FastAPI application. Understanding the Issue The error indicates that the  SessionMiddleware  is either not installed correctly or is being accessed too late in the middleware stack. To resolve this, you need to make sure that  SessionMiddleware  is added to the FastAPI application before any custom middleware that relies on session data. Error Example Code: Here's a simple FastAPI application that demonstrates the error setup for session middleware: from fastapi import FastAPI, Request from starlette.middleware.sessions import SessionMiddleware app = FastAPI() # Add SessionMiddleware first app.add_middleware(SessionMiddleware, secret_key = ...
