 		 #165278 - 'C' may not be that bad
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
I should preface this comment with the statement that I'm not one who uses 'C' or other HLL's for tasks small enough to fit in an 8-bit MCU.


Richard Erlacher, who doesn't use 'C' for an 8051, said:
... 'C' can do it too, albeit much (sic) more slowly and with considerably (sic) more code space consumed.

Well-written 'C' with a decent compiler will probably not be that bad...

That may not be a particularly big penalty for you, however.

Especially if the specific requirement of this assignment is that it be written in 'C'...!

                  'C' may not be that bad            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Just this particular function would be very fast in ASM            01/01/70 00:00

                              In this case, speed isn't a big factor.            01/01/70 00:00
