system programming tasks like writing operating systems and compilers.
For example,
the operating systems UNIX and OS/2 are written in C and when speaking about
compilers its easy to list out the compilers that are not written in C! Although it was
originally designed as systems programming language, it is used in wide range of
applications.
It is used in the embedded devices with just 64-KB of memory and is also
used in super computers and parallel computers that run at un-imaginable speeds.
C and
its successor C++ cover most of the programming areas and are predominant languages
in the world of programming.
