#83059 - asm VS C
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Please forgive my English is not too good.

I am do not have the many years of programming experience however my opinion is to stick with assembly if that is what you are fluent in.

I simply cannot understand why people install a very large (20MB or so) program to their PC just to assemble a file when a simple program that fits on a floppy disk will work perfectly.

I find it easy to migrate from 8051 to avr, and even to PIC asm code in since I am familiar with assembly.

I just do not see the advantage to C programming, especially when assembly makes so much more sense to me anyways.

I disassembled a some 8051 C code I downloaded and a very simple delay loop wasted so much code space in C it made me wonder why people use C???

Call me ignorant, I am one of those people that believe "if it ain't broken, DON'T FIX IT"!

In my opinion, C programming is for PC programs. I believe that assembly is the way 8051 was intended to be programmed, and for someone to just learn 8051 C programming first, without fully understanding assembly can sometimes be very confusing.
