c is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports both process-oriented and object-oriented programming. Here are the characteristics of the "C":
Process-Oriented Programming:
1.Procedural: A program is mainly composed of a series of processes (or functions) that are executed in a certain order.
2.Data and function separation: Data and functions are separated, and functions are mainly used to manipulate data.
Object-Oriented Programming:
1.Encapsulation: Encapsulating data and methods for manipulating data in a single unit, hiding implementation details from the outside.
2.Inheritance: You can create a new class through the inheritance mechanism, inherit the properties and methods of the existing class, and improve the reusability of the class.
3.Polymorphism: The same operation can behave differently when applied to different objects. This increases flexibility and scalability.
The object-oriented features of C are limited in the standard C language and are more complete in C++, a C-based object-oriented language. While C++ inherits the process-oriented nature of the C language, it introduces more object-oriented concepts and syntax. When using C, object-oriented ideas can be applied selectively, but C itself does not provide core object-oriented features such as classes, inheritance, and polymorphism.
