Limitations of C programming language
Problem
What are the limitations of C Programming when compared to other programming languages?
Solution
C Language prevents or prohibits the concepts of object-oriented programming language like inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and data abstraction.
C programming language does not detect errors for every line of coding, it will check the bugs after the complete coding is done.
It does not exhibit namespace property.
C programming has an insufficient level for data abstraction, i.e., does not have very large data handling capacity.
C Language does not allow the user to detect the errors with the help of exception handling features.
The constructor and destructors concept is not supported by the C language.
It does not support completely solving real-world problems.
It is less secure when compared to other programming languages.
Basic structure
Following is the general structure of a ‘C’ program −
/* documentation section */
preprocessor directives
global declaration
main ( ){
local declaration
executable statements
}
return type function name (argument list){
local declaration
executable statements
}Example

Aim : Program for finding circumference of circle*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#define PI 3.1415
main ( ){
float c, r;
clrscr ( );
printf ("enter radius of circle");
scanf ("%f", &r);
c = 2 * PI * r;
printf ("Circumference = %f", c);
getch ( );
}Output
Enter radius of circle r=4 Circumference of circle c=25.132000
