1.14 Basics of A Typical C Environment: Phases of C Programs: 1. Edit 2. Preprocess 3. Compile 4. Link 5. Load 6. Execute

The document describes the typical process of a C program from creation to execution. It involves editing the source code, preprocessing it, compiling it to create object code, linking the object code with libraries, loading the program into memory, and executing it on the CPU. The CPU then executes each instruction and stores new data values as the program runs.

Preprocessor Directives
Compiler preprocessor statements. Link compiler functions like cout, cin, sqrt, clrscr, etc. with the INCLUDE subdirectory having header files like iostream.h, conio.h #include<header file>

3. Global Declaration Section (variable or functions) 4. Main program function called main() 5. Beginning of the program: Left brace {
Local declaration Executable part

6. End of main program } 7. Sub-program section or user defined program
