In what situation, will you think writing 8051 program in assembly will be better than in C?

... it is very easy to write slow inefficient calculation code in C.

Which all goes to show how pointless it is to ask "assembly will be better (sic) than in C?" without specifying what you mean by "better"

If you mean "easiest to write" then 'C' scores; if you mean "certainty of the generated code" then assembler scores.

It is a meaningless question!
