C Language

Introduction

 C is a procedural programming language. It was initially developed by

Dennis Ritchie for creating system applications that directly interact
with the hardware devices such as drivers,kernels etc
 Most of compilers and JVM’s are written in C. C programming is
considered as the base for other programming languages like java ,c+
+,PHP… hence it is called as mother language.
 C is called middle-level language because it actually binds the gap
between machine level language and high level language.
Real-world application of C
programming-
1. Operating system
2. Embedded system
3. Drivers
4. Data base
5. Gaming and animation
Syntax-

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
Void main()
{
statement;
}
Commands

 Pre-processor commands-
1. #include<> is a preprocessor command and is generally the very
first statement of any C program.

 Header files-
1. #include<stdio.h>
2. #include<conio.h>
Header files include definitions of functions and
variables which help us to write our program code easily by providing some
very useful readymade functuins.
Main function

 Void main()-
1. It is the entry point for execution in C program.
2. The void is a keyword that represents function will not
return any value.
Concepts-

 The curly braces{}-  Semicolon-

1. The curly braces {} after the 1. Each statement in c program
main() function encloses the must ends with a ;
body of main() function.
2. It is also known as statement
2. All the program statements terminator.
are placed inside the curly
braces.
 %d-  %i-
% d specifies the type of
%i specifies the type of
variable as decimal number.
integer.
Functions-
These two functions are used for input and output in C language. Both
functions are inbuilt library functions,defined in stdio.h

 Printf()-  Scanf()-
1. Stands for print formatted  Function that reads formatted
2. This function is used to print data from stdin.

Functions-

1. Stands for ‘get character.’ 1. Used to clear the console
2. Used to hold the output screen screen.

Explanation

 Keywords are predefined, reserved words used in programming that

have special meaning to the compiler. Each of which is associated
with specific features.
 Keywords are part of the syntax and they cannot be used as an
identifier. For example
int money;
Here, int is a keyword that indicates money is a variable of type int
(integer)
