Honestly, most online tutorials for C are terrible and demonstrate that the author has little clue about the actual C standard. --[[User:mgmei|mgmei]]

Moved from article:
:''C is a [[high level language]], meaning that the source code of a program can be written without detailed knowledge of the computer's [[Central processing unit|CPU]] type. Before the program can be used, the source code must be translated into the required [[machine language]] by a [[compiler]]. In contrast, programs written in an [[assembly language]] can only be run on one type of CPU.''
:''(The above definition of [[high level language]] is not meaningful. Consider the evolution of the x86 instruction set toward virtual machinehood. Does this mean that x86 assembly is a high level language?)''
