Applications
System Software Development: C is widely used in developing operating systems,
device drivers and compilers due to its low-level access to hardware and efficient
memory management.
Embedded Systems: Many embedded systems, such as microcontrollers, use C

Network Programming: C provides the necessary libraries and tools for network
communication, making it suitable for building server-client applications and
network utilities.
Game Development: C is commonly used in game engines (like Unreal Engine,
which initially was developed using C) for creating performance-intensive games.
