Programming language in a book?

Question

Arduino

Simon Monk's book <<Programming Arduino: Basics of working with sketches>> appeared on the shelves of stores in my city, and just at that moment I wanted to learn C, as I understood from the description of the book, it is given there. Is it true?

Answer 1

Freeduino/Arduino is programmed in a special programming language - it is based on C/C++ and allows you to use any of its functions. Strictly speaking, there is no separate Arduino language, just as there is no Arduino compiler - written programs are converted (with minimal changes) into a C / C ++ program, and then compiled by the AVR-GCC compiler. So in fact, a C / C ++ variant specialized for AVR microcontrollers is used.
