When you create a program with C/C++, you often have a smaller memory size for compiled programs than in other languages.

I don't know much about compiler specifications, but sometimes I can manage memory by a few tens of percent more compactly than when I wrote the same code in Java.

Why can C/C++ manage memory more compactly than other languages? Are other languages implicitly adding non-code actions to the program?

By the way, I wrote Hello, World in C++ and C# languages.Usually, C and C++ languages are larger.I'd like to know an example of compactness.

C language 10,752 bytes.

#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
    printf("Hello World!\n");
}

C++ language 11,776 bytes.

#include<iostream>
int main() {
    std::cout<<"Hello World!\n";
}

C# Language 4,608 bytes.

using System;
namespace CsHelloWorld{
    US>class Program {
        static void Main (string[]args) {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello, World.");
        }
    }
}
