Qu 11. Why "C" is called Middle Level Language?

C Programming language is called as Middle Level Language because 

(i) it gives or behaves as High Level Language through Functions - gives a modular programming and breakup, increased efficiency for re-usability

(ii)it gives access to the low level memory through Pointers. Moreover it does support the Low Level programming i.e, Assembly Language.

As its a combination of these two aspects, its neither a High Level nor a Low level language but a Middle Level Language.
