C will get you women.
Might be a disadvantage if you are in fact a woman and not lesbian but it is
the general consensus that C gets you lots of women

C has the same advantage as strawberry ripple ice cream. It exists.
Some people prefer other flavours. Some people like several different
flavours. Some people even like to mix their flavours together.
The most important thing about C is its Cness. For people who like it, it's
exactly the right taste, with just that tang, and just that zest.
Some people want to change the flavour of C, because it doesn't taste like
the flavour they like best. This is like demanding that strawberry ripple
should taste more chocolate-chip; i.e. stupid.
What are its pleasant,
expressive and versatile characteristics ?
Partly the strawberryness and the ripplosity, partly the cold, and partly
the creamitude.
And what are its disadvantages?
It isn't chocolate-chip. (And so what?)

The most important advantage is that a C compiler exists for almost every
platform in existence. There is also a huge body of code.
It is about the "cleanest" of all the high level so-called second-generation
languages. It has enough syntax to make programs readable, but no more.
The main disadvantage is that there is no support for object-orientation. If
you want to use OO really you have to use another language like java or C++.
The other disadvantage is so-called "undefined behaviour". It would be
possible to define the result of every illegal operation as terminating the
program with an error message, but this wasn't done for efficiency reasons.
Which means that a buffer overrun could cause the wrong output rather than a
segmentation fault. If input is cleverly constructed, it could even cause
malicious code to be executed.

It's well tested, extensively ported and concise. It's close enough to
the machine to let you write efficient code, (provided you're on your
toes), but abstracted enough to be very portable. It's relatively terse
syntax appeals to many programmers. IMHO, it has remained the best
choice of language for the purpose for which it was originally designed
- constructing system software.
And what are its disadvantages?
The answer to this question would be highly subjective and variable.
Personally I feel that C is done a disservice by it's preprocessor
language. It's about time it was improved.

Before C became standardized and included prototypes, I couldn't
stand it at all. The original K&R flavor was much too error prone.

Actually it is neither as clean nor as portable as Pascal. However
it is significantly more flexible, and as you said, compilers exist
for practically every system.
I would much rather create, from scratch, a Pascal system than a C
system. Today this is not necessary, because of basically portable
compilers such as gcc. As a very rough measure of compiler
complexity needed, compare the size of the Pascal standard with
that of the C standard. And don't even mention C++.

Fundamentally impossible, due to the strictures of the great god
"backward compatibility".

Hi. I have found one advantage of returning values through the argument
list. It's that we have to store the return value. But when we return by
value, we may forgot to store the return value.
Consider,

int i, j;

Hey everybody!
I just want to discuss: what do people really use C# for?
According to Microsoft, it was made for rapid software devolopment, and
now everybody is on about XML, chat groups etc. and so much on the
internet, why can't we just stick with Windows Forms?
P.S. The main reason I love C# so much is because it is so good for
programming, and so, why do we keep on going on and fussing about other
applications?

What's the advantage of inheriting from CollectionBase as opposed to
just implementing IList? It seems that it saves you from having to
implement a few properties (Clear, CopyTo, Count, GetEnumerator, and

override seems overkill and counters the advantage of having an
extensible base class.
