Dear ,
I want to work on atmel series 89c51 controller , so would you help me to choose a language which is easy to understands , and benificial in future. note that shoud be easy to understnds on coding.

Learning Assembly is a good way to learn how the processor actually works and how C and other higher languages work which will make you more effective in the long run. However, you can find a C compiler for every processor out there, and in most cases firmware is developed using C. |

sir,
It mean you are giving me advise for c language as compare to assembly language , So please let me clear that I have to just understands c language or c++ language , and please also advise in c++ could I do micro controller programming.
Regards.

I'm not sure if you can turn on a bit for 1 machine cycle, but if you couldn't, you could always add a little bit of asm into your C :D (Kinda defeating the purpose I suppose) |

By M/C I meant machine cycle. I understood that using Basic, there is a lower limit for a timing period, but if 'C' can do microsecond timers, then you have answered my question. |

I'm not sure what you mean by M/C, but I know you can do micro-second timers. |

I have only ever programmed in ASM. Can a program in C do all the things that can be done in ASM? I am thinking of things like turning on a bit for one M/C, or very short timers. |

I spent far more time learning ASM than I ever did developing with it. I use C to program PICs, it's extremely easy. |

Both languages will accomplish the same thing. C, however, will be far easier for you as it is a higher level language. But a program written directly in assembly will undoubtedly be smaller. Assembly is harder to understand and much less development is taking place in assembly these days. |
