Hello Good People!
I'm new to Hardware and Circuits development except maybe those school breadboard and veroboard connections generally but I want to implement a circuit with Arduinos since it works well with Sensors, actuators and easily bridge circuits. I am very very comfortable with the C language since Arduinos support both C and C++. I know both Languages are very efficient when it comes to hardwares but which do you think is better for such work from your experiences. I could pick up C++ in a couple of days...

Thanks
Pardon my Doubt, I don't know if this belongs to Science/Tech or here

Arduino is based on C progamming. Arduino made it easier by simplifying C programming by introducing some simpler syntax. There is a book that would help you greatly "arduino introduction to programming" I've forgotten the author. Its a very nice and simplified book. Thanks and take care.

Uh! I've seen some example syntax and they look 'C++' so I felt C++ may be it. I'd checkout the book right away. Thanks much. I really appreciate

if i were you i will go C++, although arduion is not pure C/C++,And it is basically a simplification of C/C++ (you can practically copy&paste arduino code to a C/C++ file, and it will work). Having said all of that, programming for Arduino isn't exactly the same as general C++ programming. A lot of the differences are common to all embedded programming though (such as limited memory and processing power).

If you want to use arduino, forget about C or C++ and learn Arduino programming language which was derived from C language. You can get enough Arduino ebooks online. Miss Google is your friend

Telling him to forget about C isn't a good advice at all.

Is Arduino programming language an ASSEMBLY language ?

forget about C or C++ and learn Arduino programming language which was derived from C language.

If you write a simple C or C++ program in an Arduino IDE will it compile or verify ?

If you don't know, Arduino programming language is a C language specifically designed (i.e, with its syntax) for Arduino hardware.

He is not limited to arduino programming and may still venture into other MCU hardware programming in the future and knowing C gives him comparative advantage.

Other MCUs have their different C syntax and compilers, so if you want to program them, get their materials on C programming and learn'
