C is a general-purpose language meant to be powerful and fast.
A considerable amount of "high level" languages are built off C.

Unlike most high level languages, C allows direct access to memory and pointers, which can make the syntax more complicated, but gives more control to the programmer in how it behaves.

For a similar language, see C++.
