Introduction to Programming and C Language


Basic Structure of a C Program
Data Types and Variables in C
Input and Output Functions in C
Summary and Key Takeaways

Communicating with computers using programming languages.


Low-level vs. High-level languages.
Importance of C as a foundational language.

Developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972.


Designed for portability and efficiency.
Widely used in systems programming, embedded systems, and more

Setting Up the C Programming Environment

Install a C compiler (GCC).


Use an IDE like Code::Blocks or Dev C++.
Write and run your first C program.

Preprocessor directives (#include <stdio.h>).


Main function: int main().
Output using printf().
Example: "Hello World" Program.

Preprocessor Directive: Includes libraries.


Main Function: Entry point of the program.
Return Statement: Ends the program.

Preprocessing.
Compilation.
Assembly.
Linking to generate an executable file.

Single-line comments: // Comment.


Multi-line comments: /* Comment */.
Used for code documentation and clarity

int: Integer numbers.


float: Decimal numbers.
double: Double precision floating-point numbers.
char: Single characters.

Declare a variable: int a;.


Initialize a variable: int a = 10;.

Integer literals (e.g., 10).


Floating-point literals (e.g., 3.14).
Character literals (e.g., 'A').
String literals (e.g., "Hello").
printf(): Displays output.
scanf(): Accepts user input.
Format specifiers: %d (integer), %f (float), %c (character).

Basic understanding of C program structure.


Data types and variable declaration.
How to take user input and display output.
Steps of compiling and running a C program.

C is foundational for understanding programming concepts.


Understanding the structure of a C program is key.
Practicing data types, variables, and input/output functions is essential for
further learning.
