Programming for Arduino with only C?

Hi, i want to create a project,

i was thinking if C could be the only language for source code, for Arduino..

my solution is AVR Libc?

is there anything good to know?

any replies welcomed.

Yes, the Arduinos are programmed using C. The complete C library is not available, due to the limited memory and processing speed of the Arduino, so it's not like to need to know everything about C to program an Arduino.

The reference page for the Arduino describes the most common functions used:

There are plenty of examples provided to show you how to do things, and there are a few people here that like to help. Make that lots of people.

ok thanks,

so i can write on C.

is there any "emulator" to test my code?

(you would answer, why not buy shields..)

i am a student from greece, and except the cost (it would be a small one) nvm, i want to test a lot, cause my final project isn't declared...

I'm not aware of any emulators. The whole point of the arduino, though, is to control external hardware. The only real way to know if that is working is to plug in the hardware and test it.
