Why programming as a Mechanical Engineer?
CSE 1281 Department of Mechanical Engineering 5
Importance of C
o It is a robust language whose built-in functions and operators can be
used to write any complex programs. o Efficient and Fast (Requires only one second to increment a variable from 0 to 15000). o There are only 32 keywords. o Highly portable. o Ability to extent itself (Freedom to add our own functions to the library).

Observe the Following Simple Program
Input Output
CSE 1281 Department of Mechanical Engineering 7
Analyzing the Program • The Line 1 indicates the linking of library function to the program. • main() is a special function that tells the compiler where to start. • Therefore, a program should have only one main() function. • The empty pair of paranthesis () after main tells that the function has no arguments or parameters. • “{” represents the beginning of the function and “}” represents the closing.
CSE 1281 Department of Mechanical Engineering 8
Analyzing the Program
o The program consists of three statements.
o The statement starting with /* and ending with */ is called the “comment line” and is not executable statements and is ignored by the compiler. o The only executable statement in the program contains the function printf. o It prints out everything written in between quotation marks.
CSE 1281 Department of Mechanical Engineering 9
Analyzing the Program o It is preferred to use #include<stdio.h> at the beginning. o It is a library function that contains necessary functions for programming. o main function is a part of every C program and C permits various forms of main statements – ➢ main () ➢ int main () ➢ void main () ➢ main (void) ➢ void main (void) ➢ int main (void)

Basic Structure of C Program
main() Function Section:
oEach program must have one main() function section oIt has two parts i.e., declaration part and executable part oDeclaration part or statement declares all the variables inside the function oThere is at least one statement in the executable part oEach statement ends with a semicolon (;)

Basic Structure of C Program
Subprogram Section: oUser-defined functions are present that are called in the main() function. oThey can appear in any order.

Executing a Program
Executing a C program involves a number of steps:
1. Creating the program
2. Compiling the program 3. Linking the program with the functions from C library 4. Executing the program
