Size of executable files?

I created a very small code to add two integers and store the result in other variables, both in assembly language and in c. the code in the assembly cost me 617 bytes, but the code in C took 25 kilobytes! why is there a huge difference? Also, how can I look at symbolic build instructions for the C code that I wrote?

High-level languages ​​have a certain overhead. Although everything you have in the assembly is exactly what you are saying.

The overhead that you see in this case is likely to be static linking of standard components such as printf. The include statement probably added them.
