I think operating system routines can be developed using C and game applications can also be developed... What kind of language is C ? Is it platform independent (portable) ?

Old sods like me call it a 'structured assembly language', i.e. C can be quite close to the bare metal. If you don't use platform dependent libraries C source code can be quite portable; your own code shouldn't assume anything about the platform its compiled version is running on.
C is quite a low level structured programming language and it has survived since the early '70s in the last century.
kind regards,

C is a procedural language (as opposed to an object-oriented language like C++). The C Standard is very explicit about which features are undefined, implementation-defined, or locale-specific. Stay away from those and you can write very portable code.Comment
