what are the advantage of c programming ?
Compared to what?
"...a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are,in short, a perfect match.." Bill Bryson
This is along the same lines of your question of what is c programing, and is just as poorly phrased. You should elaborate on what you are asking about.
For example, maybe you are trying to learn programming with no background at all. Then you might ask "what are the advantages of C as an introductory programming language over other programming languages?"
Or, maybe you are trying to automate some process in your life by writing a program. Then you might ask "what are the advantages of programming in C to do this task instead of using pen and paper?" Or if you have an alternative programming language in mind, you might ask "what are the advantages of C over this other programming language for this task?"
If you just ask "what are the advantage of c programming ?" then I can validly answer: it is a sane programming language compared to befunge. Or I can validly answer: I can program in C. These answers will probably be meaningless to you, hence you need to ask better questions.

the same advantage to posting a question, bald of context, and then logging off i guess
how long is a piece of string
Well, he clearly didn't need "help fast" and so on at least! :-)
Everyone knows a piece of string is exactly 1 unit of length!
WndProc = (2[b] || !(2[b])) ? SufferNobly : TakeArms;
Pretty long if it's not null terminated
Glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that!

In brief, ventilation and no danger of leg hairs getting painfully stuck in the weave of the fabrick.
C programming is also cheaper than A or B programming. D programming tends to be too low quality for my taste.
Another advantage is at the top of my building.
Wow this is genius incarnate. You, sir, are truly a god of artistic humour (art thou an Illogicopedia writer by any chance?). If not I'm telling you, this is Illogicopedia worthy stuff...if you wrote this without having ever had a taste Illogicopedia's writing style, you're truly beyond genius.
In fact if it wouldnt irk you, I'll add this to ?pedia's article about C? (crediting you in the edit summary and talk page if necessary)
It's so ........ing hilarious and reminiscient of a certain departed writer's style over there that I'm still laughing my ........ing ass off!
You're the second most artistic person I've ever seen on this place.

"Highbrow philosophical truth: Everybody is an ape in monkeytown" --Oscar Wilde
Reminds me of this classic:
These two strings walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says, "So what'll it be?"
The first string says, "I think I'll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdk^CjfdLkjk3s d#f67howe%^U r89nvy~~owmc63^Dz x.xvcu"
"Please excuse my friend," the second string says, "He isn't null-terminated."
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
Well, not illogicopedia, but my dad (who passed away a year ago) just loved this kind of wordplay, especially in writing, and the Finnish language gives you LOTS of opportunities. Most stuff just does not translate. Something along the lines of, if you told him your hand hurts, he might act very surprised and ask "who? why? did it do any permanent damage?".
Feel free. No crediting necessary; it wasn't designed, it just burped out of somewhere.
Oh? Are you Finnish Nominal? I worked with two guys from there a few years. They downed beer faster than I could drink water... :-)
Competent guys as well. There are a lot of competent technical people around due to Nokia.
"A Professor of Computer Science gave a paper on how he uses Linux to teach his undergraduates about operating systems. Someone in the audience asked why use Linux rather than Plan 9?' and the professor answered:Plan 9 looks like it was written by experts; Linux looks like something my students could aspire to write'."
Yup. I grew up well north of the Arctic Circle, too.
We do like getting our drink on. Fun without alcohol is just pretending.
Nokia was a big employer of tech folk, but it seriously twisted how Finnish economists and government see IT business. Instead of supporting the new opportunities -- you know, small businesses, and experimental strategies -- the business folks are just pining for and planning for a New Nokia to pop up. For example, individuals cannot legally set up any kind of project relying on crowdfunding, or even ask for donations! Even just mentioning you have a PayPal account on your page might be considered illegal.
I had friends and old classmates working for Nokia in different divisions, but I saw it was going to fail as soon as they scrapped their Linux development plans. There just was nothing they could build on instead. Funny thing is, what the "Linux conspiracy theorists" (as I, among others, were called then) said about MS destroying the business, then buying it for pennies, happened exactly as was described.. Most analysts here still insist it was the right decision, and claim nobody could have foreseen the events.
Sigh.
I've got my share of business background -- owned and ran a smallish Linux/software company to make some money --, but that and other work-related issues almost killed me; I am way too easy to exploit, definitely not suited for running a business. Turning a profit was easy (even during and after the dot-com bust), but I never learned to just drop bad clients, or walk out from bad managers. Always worried about stuff no-one was paying for me to worry about, like system security. Left me a burned out husk of a man, really.

I guess it's true what they say ... nice guys Finnish last.I am way too easy to exploit, definitely not suited for running a business.
