Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

C is still the dominant language for embedded programming—but these days, it has lots of company.

End Notes The “Embedded Systems Programming”magazine (the predecessor of this Embedded.com website) used to publish several articles about state machines every year. The most popular such articles ...

In a survey, Embedded Systems Programming found 90 percent of subscribers used C in their work, 45 percent used C++ and 10 percent used Java (some programmers work with multiple languages).
