    210210Even with all its problems, C continues to be popular because it allows writing software at virtually any level in a computer system without restriction.
    211211For system programming, where direct access to hardware, storage management, and real-time issues are a requirement, C is usually the only language of choice.
    212 The TIOBE index~\cite{TIOBE} for July 2018 ranks the top 5 most \emph{popular} programming languages as: \Index*{Java} 16\%, C 14\%, \Index*[C++]{\CC{}} 7.5\%, Python 6\%, Visual Basic 4\% = 47.5\%, where the next 50 languages are less than 4\% each, with a long tail.

    505505C, \CC, and Java (and many other programming languages) have no exponentiation operator\index{exponentiation!operator}\index{operator!exponentiation}, \ie $x^y$, and instead use a routine, like \Indexc{pow}, to perform the exponentiation operation.
    506 \CFA extends the basic operators with the exponentiation operator ©?\?©\index{?\\?@\lstinline@?\?@} and ©?\=?©\index{?\\=?@\lstinline@?\=?@}, as in, ©x \ y© and ©x \= y©, which means $x^y$ and $x \leftarrow x^y$.

    507507The priority of the exponentiation operator is between the cast and multiplicative operators, so that ©w * (int)x \ (int)y * z© is parenthesized as ©((w * (((int)x) \ ((int)y))) * z)©.

    519519The exponentiation operator is available for all the basic types, but for user-defined types, only the integral-computation versions are available.
    520520For returning an integral value, the user type ©T© must define multiplication, ©*©, and one, ©1©;

    532 The ©if© expression allows declarations, similar to ©for© declaration expression:
    533 \begin{cfa}
    534 if ( int x = f() ) ...                                          §\C{// x != 0}§

    536 if ( int x = f(), y = g(); ®x < y® ) ...        §\C{// relational expression}§
    537 \end{cfa}
    538 Unless a relational expression is specified, each variable is compared not equal to 0, which is the standard semantics for the ©if© expression, and the results are combined using the logical ©&&© operator.\footnote{\CC only provides a single declaration always compared not equal to 0.}

     532The ©if©/©while© expression allows declarations, similar to ©for© declaration expression.

    539546The scope of the declaration(s) is local to the @if@ statement but exist within both the ``then'' and ``else'' clauses.

     552The ©for©/©while©/©do-while© loop-control allows empty or simplified ranges.
     553An empty conditional implies ©1©.
     554The up-to range ©~©\index{~@©~©} means exclusive range [M,N);
     555the up-to range ©~=©\index{~=@©~=©} means inclusive range [M,N].
     556The down-to range ©-~©\index{-~@©-~©} means exclusive range [N,M);
     557the down-to range ©-~=©\index{-~=@©-~=©} means inclusive range [N,M].
     558©0© is the implicit start value;
     559©1© is the implicit increment value for an up-to range and ©-1© for an implicit down-to range.
     560The loop index is polymorphic in the type of the start value or comparison value when start is implicitly ©0©.

    805906While C provides ©continue© and ©break© statements for altering control flow, both are restricted to one level of nesting for a particular control structure.
    806907Unfortunately, this restriction forces programmers to use \Indexc{goto} to achieve the equivalent control-flow for more than one level of nesting.
    807 To prevent having to switch to the ©goto©, \CFA extends the \Indexc{continue}\index{continue@\lstinline@continue@!labelled}\index{labelled!continue@©continue©} and \Indexc{break}\index{break@\lstinline@break@!labelled}\index{labelled!break@©break©} with a target label to support static multi-level exit\index{multi-level exit}\index{static multi-level exit}~\cite{Buhr85}, as in Java.

    808909For both ©continue© and ©break©, the target label must be directly associated with a ©for©, ©while© or ©do© statement;
    809910for ©break©, the target label can also be associated with a ©switch©, ©if© or compound (©{}©) statement.
