There are a couple thousand registers. And although I'm sure you could use them to create a driver, you would absolutely hate ST by the time you were done. (It took us 2 years to get it right.)
So we chose to release the C code instead.
If you go to www.ST.com/TimeOfFlight and select the VL53L4CD, click on tools and software you will get an entire example project that runs on an STM32 F401RE.
It's STSW-IMG029
You can even click on the .ioc file and change which STM32 you want. (This doesn't always work - in which case you have to do some porting.)
If you actually want Arduino code, my friends at SparkFun have done a darn fine job of porting the ST code to that platform.

Thank you for ur reply first of all,i understand the register level programming difficulty for this sensor but the ways to get example project for this VL53L4CD is not wrking or seems to be removed by ST itslef. STSW-IMG029 the tools and software option,Get software option is not working even after clicking there is some ui issue it seems
"www.ST.com/TimeOfFlight and select the VL53L4CD, click on tools and software you will get" as u said
In this no example project for VL53L4CD, is listed u may cross check it.Please kindly do reply fast

I just tried it and it works for me. But then I am an employee - so I'm on the inside of the wall. And I've downloaded from ST.com hundreds of time.
The portal does get goofed up from time to time, but it's working now.
If you have trouble go to the ST.com and there is a support tab in the upper right. Pull that down and click on 'support'. We have people who can help. There is even a phone number.
