    Free Online MicroController Simulator

    I'm looking for a free online microcontroller simulator to introduce myself to programming the microcontroller in C(it doesn't have to be C but it would be nice).

    A few things to note:
    1. I'm not an engineer or an engineer student.. So the more NOOB friendly the better.
    2. I'd like to use C as the programming language but its not necessary.

    So is there any 'NOOB friendly or at least well explained' free online microcontroller simulators you would recommend to the hardware curious?

    In a previous post, in a previous thread, you were not aware of the side effects of the initialization of an array with partial elements. This, and other details would have been explained in a chapter on arrays, in a book on the C Language.

    Before you attempt to start programming any micro-controller in C, you need a more through understanding of the language, by studying and programming on a hosted system, such as Windows, Linux, or Mac!

    I have said this in many previous posts:

    If you are attempting to learn from painfully inadequate online tutorials, YouTube videos, or some book claiming to teach you in a short time, then THROW THEM AWAY!

    Short of taking a course in C Programming from a qualified instructor, you need to study a good book on the C Programming Language, cover to cover, and do all the exercises at the end of each chapter! Choose one of the three listed below:

    Well I'm willing to learn and use the applicable opcodes to program a micro-controller if my C skills are lacking.
