Why is C function so long? [closed]

I'm coming from a script guy, used to functions within 50 lines.

And when I see frequently functions over 200 lines,I'm really having a hard time reading it.

Is this normal at all?

There is nothing in the language that makes functions "long" - you can write long functions in any reasonable language, and, ideally, should refactor them into smaller, more understandable and maintainable functions in most languages.
