No, it is a letter.
Had you asked: 'Is C language a single-pass compiler',the answer would be: 'No, it isn't a compiler, it is a programming language'.

∙ 14y agoThe short answer is no.
Natively computers are controlled by a set of numbers that we call an instruction set.
The instruction set is interpreted by the computer to be short primitive commands that the computer can execute. The instruction set resembles short phrases almost like those commands that we would use to instruct a dog. E.g. "jump", "sit", "roll", etc.
Of course, a computer neither jumps nor rolls. More relevant instructions would be:
"move this number from here to there", "add this number with one", "or skip these instructions here and start on the instructions over there".
Instructions sets are very hard to work with for us humans. In the beginning of the computer age, instructions was given to computers by flipping a lot of switches on input panels or feeding the them by cards with elaborately stenciled holes. That was a process both time consuming and error prone.
Over the years we have teached the computers how to translate higher level programming languages to instructions sets. Programming languages are invented to make life easier for humans. One of the most successful programming languages ever created is C.
C is both expressive and easy to learn for us humans. At the same time, the language was created to fit the spirit of most computers' instruction set.
That allows programmers to code human reasoned solutions into fast running programs. This might be the reason why you got the impression that you could call C a native language.

∙ 11y agoNo. When we talk of C++ implementations we are referring to vendors who produce C++ coding tools, including compilers, linkers, debuggers and integrated development environments. These are often platform-specific implementations, but you can also use generic implementations. All implementations must follow the C++ standard, although some are better than others in this respect. Microsoft, for one, regularly fail to follow the standard.

No of pixel in c compiler?
There are no pixels in the C compiler!
What is a C compiler as used in C programming?
In C programming, C compiler is user to translate C source into C object module.
How carefully does the compiler pay attention to indentation?
The compiler does not pay any attention whatsoever to indentation in C and C++.
What is the difference between GCC compiler and turbo c compiler?
1. The Gcc compiler cna support multiple languages such as c,c++,Java,Fortran,Pascal etc.... Whereas in turbo c cpmpiler,it doesn't support multiple languages. 2. GCC compiler is a free software,... Whereas in turbo c cpmpiler , it is not a free software. 3. The GCC compiler is is a portable compiler,it runs on most plateform avilable today... Whereas in turbo c cpmpiler, it is not a portable compiler.
What is the purpose of gcc?
I suppose GCC can have many meanings. The only interpretations that come to mind in context with computer programming are the GNU Compiler Collection or the GNU C Compiler (which is part of the compiler collection).The GNU C Compiler allows creating software in various dialects of the C language family, aimed at a multitude of target processors and operating systems.
It is possible to build a C compiler on top of a C compiler?
It is possible to build a C compiler on top of a C compiler. From the directory, run the shell script.
No of pixel in c compiler?

Which compiler is used for writing c plus plus exception handling programs?
C++ compiler, obviously, a C compiler won't do.

Is it possible to inherit structure in c?
If a C compiler is available, then so is a C++ compiler - just use one that produces C as its output.
How c compiler works when it's been coded in c?
The very first C-compiler was written in some other language.
What would be the purpose to download a c compiler?
A C Compiler is a program for computers that can be use for programming and deciphering languages. The C Compiler program has been around for several years and is easy to use.

gcc is the most common C-compiler for GNU/Linux platform.
