Quick Guide To C: Appendix A

This document provides a quick guide to the C programming language covering basic concepts up to loops. It includes preprocessor directives, variable declarations, input/output functions, arithmetic operators, if/else statements, and while and for loops. Math functions like sin(), sqrt(), and pow() are demonstrated. Formatting of output and use of operators like && and || in conditional statements are also explained.

// Preprocessor Directives before the main function


#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <math.h> // to use sin(), cos(), sqrt(), pow(), exp(), log() ...
#include <ctype.h> // to use toupper(), …
#define PI 3.1416

// main function (a simple skeleton) // Declaration of variables


void main (void) int age;
{ // Declare variables int num, size;
// Input float weight, price;
// Calculation char letter, key;
// Output
} // end main

// Use printf( ) and scanf( ) to prompt for input


printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &num); // use address operator '&'
printf("Enter 2 real numbers: ");
scanf("%f %f", &x, &y); // use , to separate addresses

// Use printf( ) to output messages and values


printf("A simple program to find area\n"); // use double quotations " "
printf("%d years old = %d days old.\n" , age , day); // take care of , and ;
printf("The floating-point number is %f\n", x );
printf("The weight correct to 2 decimal places is %.2f kg\n", weight );

// Assignment statements and arithmetic operators
