What is the main differences between C and Embedded C?..

Answer / vishnu948923

C is for desktop computers, embedded C usually is for
microcontroller based applications.
C use the resources of desktop computers (memory, OS, etc)
Embbeded C use only limited resources available in chip
(limited RAM, ROM, ports, etc).
Embbed C could be a subset of C.

What is the main differences between C and Embedded C?..

Answer / swati jawanjal

Embedded c code generates a .hex file while a convention c
code generates a compatible .exe file.

What is the main differences between C and Embedded C?..

Answer / 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.

What is the main differences between C and Embedded C?..

Answer / meena

Embedded c is the combination of Normal c we are using and Assembly lanquage.In embedded c we can get some library file as header file(e.g reg51.h, which will include all the port and register declaration with some more features)
By simply adding this file we are able to work with any port or any register of 8051 MCU.

3 Answers   HCL, TCS,


Write an interactive c program that will encode or decode a line of text. To encode a line of text, proceed as follows: Convert each character, including blank spaces, to its ASCII equivalent. Generate a positive random integer. Add this integer to the ASCII equivalent of each character. The same random integer will be used for the entire line of text. Suppose that N1 represents the lowest permissible value in the ASCII code, and N2 represents the highest permissible value. If the number obtained in step 2 above exceeds N2, then subtract the largest possible multiple of N2 from this number, and add the remainder to N1. Hence the encoded number will always fall between N1 and N2, and will therefore always represent some ASCII character. Display the characters that correspond to the encoded ASCII values. The procedure is reversed when decoding a line of text. Be certain, however, that the same random number is used in decoding as was used in encoding.
