The files that comprise of the C file format generally consists of the source code that has been written using the C++ or C programs. The file may comprise of the source code for a complete application or just one source that is to be referred within a particular programming project.
Dennis Ritchie developed the C programming language as an all-purpose language. It was primarily used for the Unix platforms. However, in the year 1983, Bjarne Stroustrup came up with the C++ programming language as an enhancement to the actual C language.
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .C file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .C file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .C file, so download the update and check again.
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .C extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .C file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.
