Difference Between C Language And Embedded C

Hello guys, welcome back to our blog. In this article, we will discuss the difference between C language and embedded C, why embedded C is used, and applications of both C_language and embedded_C.

If you have any electrical, electronics, and computer science doubts, then ask questions. You can also catch me on Instagram – CS Electrical & Electronics.

C Language And Embedded C

Well, guys, we will say that embedded C is the subset of C_Language because the code in embedded_C is the same as in C language. Let’s talk about the exact difference.

C Language	Embedded C
It is a high-level language	It is an extension of the C language
It is independent of hardware like a controller or processor	It is dependent on hardware components like a microcontroller or microprocessor
Optimization is normal	High level of optimization
For functioning an operating system is required	With or without an operating system it can work
It is used for desktop applications	Used for microprocessor or microcontroller applications
C_language will not worry about memory resources i.e., it uses the entire memory available in the CPU.	It has limited resources and should use limited memory.
C language run in the console. Hence we can see the output through desktop	Embedded_C runs on real-time constraints. Hence the output is not available in the operating system
It indirectly or directly supports other kinds of programming languages during the application	It supports only the needed processor of the application
The input can be fed to the program while it is running	In embedded_C, only the pre-defined input can be given to the program running
Some examples of C programs are desktop applications and operating systems.	Real-time examples. Applications are DVD, TV, traffic signal, and camera.

This was about the difference between C language and embedded C. I hope this article may help you all a lot. Thank you for reading.
