The lack of generality in a language refers to limitations in its ability to handle a wide range of operations or data types uniformly. In C, the inability to directly compare arrays using the == operator is an example of this limitation, as it requires special handling or functions to perform such comparisons, unlike other data types that can be compared directly.
