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.

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. |

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

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

| 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 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) |

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.

| 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. |
