So why is C “low level”
None
C code does not model modern processors
It models old processors
Modern compilers turn old model assembly into new model assembly
C is not fundamental in any sense

This process repeats
That’s how programs execute (kinda) (I’m still lying to you)
Fetch: get instruction from memory into processor
Decode: prep processor for instruction
Execute: do computation
Retire: results and cleanup
