What is the main differences between C and Embedded C?
Answer Posted / kirit vanani
#1 C is a type of computer programming language.
While embedded C is a set of language extensions for the C Programming language.
#2 C has a free-format program source code, in a desktop computer.
while embedded C has different format based on embedded processor (micro-controllers/microprocessors).
#3 C have normal optimization, in programming.
while embedded C high level optimization in programming.
#4 C programming must have required operating system.
while embedded C may or may not be required operating system.
#5 C can use resources from OS, memory, etc, i.e all resources from desktop computer can be used by C.
while embedded C can use limited resources, like RAM, ROM, and I/Os on an embedded processor.
#6 Compilers for C typically generate OS dependent executable. i.e you can run program from OS terminal directly.
While, embedded C requires compilers to create files, and downloaded to the processor, (microcontrollers/microprocessors) where it needs to run.
#7 C programing run in console, i.e you can see output, in your OS (desktop).
while, embedded C run in real time constraints. i.e you can't see output in OS.
#8 C has directly or indirectly influenced a lot of the later programming languages,
such as C#, D, Go, Java, JavaScript, Limbo, LPC, Perl, PHP, Python, and Unix's C shell.
While, Embedded C support only required processor.
#9 In C programming we can easily input program data, when running.
While, embedded C have pre-defined data, that have been given while programming.
#10 Example of C program is, OS based software, simple logic program, etc.
example of embedded C is TV, DVD, washing machine, etc.

All three numbers entered by the user are also displayed. If user enters 21, 33, and 5, the output should be as follows: You entered: 21, 33 and 5. The largest number is 33.
