What Is #Include ?: 17 Answers

#include<stdio.h> is a preprocessor statement that tells the compiler to insert the contents of the stdio.h header file. This header file contains declarations for standard input and output functions like printf(), scanf(), etc. To use these predefined functions, their header file must be included. The #include statement and <> brackets indicate to the compiler which header file is being included.
