C is a general-purpose, structured programming language. It is really a powerful language to write complex computer program and that's why it is really one of a popular high level language like Pascal and Fortran. It has features that allows user to write low-level programming language and it is flexible also to write system programming (i.e. operating system) and application programming.
It's instruction set includes large number of operators, several built-in functions, control-statement keyword etc. Hence, it allows users to write additional library function. Program written in C language is very fast.
C is highly portable. So, a C program, written in one computer can be run on another with little or no modification. The reason for this is that C relegates most computer-dependent features to its library functions.
As it said earlier that C is structured programming language which means program can be written as block in terms of function module. A proper collection of modules would make a complete program.
