C LANGUAGE.

Why Learn C?
 It is one of the most popular programming language in the
world.

 If you know C, you will have no problem to learn other


popular programming languages such as Java, C++, C#,
etc, as the syntax is similar.

 C is very fast, compared to other programming languages,


like Java.

 It can be used in both applications and technologies.

C LANGUAGE.

Difference between C and C++?

 C++ was developed as an extension of C, and both


languages have almost the same syntax.

 The main difference between C and C++ is that C++


support classes and objects, while C does not

SYNTAX.

Line 1: #include <stdio.h> is a header file library that lets us work with input and output
functions, such as printf() (used in line 4).

Line 2: A blank line. C ignores white space. But we use it to make the code more readable.

Line 3: Another thing that always appear in a C program, is main(). This is called a function.
Any code inside its curly brackets {} will be executed.

Line 4: printf() is a function used to output/print text to the screen. In our example it will
output "Hello World".

Note that: Every C statement ends with a semicolon ;


Note: The body of int main() could also been written as:
int main(){printf("Hello World!");return 0;}

SYNTAX.

Remember: The compiler ignores white spaces. However, multiple lines makes the code more
readable.

Line 5: return 0 ends the main() function.

Line 6: Do not forget to add the closing curly bracket } to actually end the main function.

DATA TYPE.

C Identifiers
 Identifier refers to name given to entities such as variables, functions,
structures etc.
 Identifiers must be unique. They are created to give a unique name to an
entity to identify it during the execution of the program. For example:

DATA TYPE.

 Here, the type of number variable is int. You cannot assign a floating-point (decimal)
value 5.5 to this variable.

 Also, you cannot redefine the data type of the variable to double.

 By the way, to store the decimal values in C, you need to declare its type to
either double or float.
