Literature Survey
Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of C
programming in diverse R&D domains. In computational
biology and bioinformatics, C is preferred for its ability to
handle large datasets efficiently and its compatibility with
low-level hardware interactions. Embedded systems, such as
automotive systems, medical devices, and consumer
electronics, also heavily rely on C programming for real-time
performance and memory efficiency.
In the realm of scientific computing, C programming is
employed for high-performance computing tasks, including
simulations, numerical analysis, and modeling complex
systems. The language's
capability to directly
manipulate memory addresses
and support low-level
optimizations makes it
indispensable in this field.C programming finds extensive use
in developing operating systems, compilers, and device
drivers due to its close-to-hardware nature and portability
across different platforms.
