Embedded Programming

Embedded programming involves developing software for embedded systems, which are specialized computer systems designed for specific applications. C and C++ are the primary programming languages used in embedded programming due to their efficiency, low-level access, and versatility:

• C is a widely adopted language for embedded programming because of its simplicity and direct control over hardware resources. It allows developers to write efficient code that maximizes system performance and optimizes memory usage;
• C++ builds upon the features of C and adds object-oriented programming, making it suitable for managing complex embedded systems.

In embedded programming, C and C++ are used to develop software for various applications, including automotive systems, medical devices, industrial controllers, and consumer electronics. These languages provide the necessary tools to interface with hardware peripherals, perform real-time operations, and implement control algorithms.
