What is the C file?
The C file extension can be associated with several types of files. Most often, however, a file with such an extension is associated with the C/C++ Source Code Format format. C files are supported by Linux, Mac OS, Windows operating systems. The C file is one of the Developer Files files, just like 1205 of the other files found in our file information database.

How to open a .C file?
If you have problems opening the file C, then in most cases the problem is only the lack of the proper application installed. Select one of the programs from the list and install it on your device. The operating system should automatically associate the C file format with the installed program. If not, right click on your C file and select from the menu "Open with" . Then select the installed program and confirm the operation. Now all C files should automatically open with the selected program.
