INTRODUCTION
TO C
W ha t i s C
prog ra m m ing ?
▪ Definition: C is a high-level,
general-purpose programming
language that provides low-level
access to memory and system
processes.
▪ Designed for system programming,
it is widely used for developing
operating systems.

HISTORY OF
C
❑Origin: Developed by Dennis Ritchie at
Bell Labs in 1972.
❑Influences: Based on the B programming
language and influenced by ALGOL.
❑Evolution:
• K&R C: The original version described in
"The C Programming Language" book by
Kernighan and Ritchie.
• ANSI C: Standardized version by ANSI in
1989.
• ISO C: Further standardized by ISO in
1990.
5
FEATURES OF
C
❑Simplicity: Simple syntax and
easy to learn.
❑Efficiency: Produces highly
efficient programs.
❑Portability: Code can run on
different machines with little or no
modification.
❑Rich Library: Provides a rich set
of built-in functions.

STRUCTURE OF C
❑Header Files: Include
❑ Statements and
necessary libraries (e.g.,
Expressions: Perform
#include <stdio.h>).
operations and control
❑Main Function: Entry program flow.

main()). Define reusable code
❑Variable Declarations: blocks.
Declare variables to store
data

#include <stdio.h> // Preprocessor
directive BASIC SYNTAX
❑Preprocessor Directive:
// Function declaration
✓#include <stdio.h>: This line includes
int main() {
// Variable declaration the Standard Input Output library,
int a; which allows the use of functions like
printf.
// Initialization

❑Function Declaration:
a = 10;
✓int main() : This line declares the
// Function call main function, which is the entry
printf("Value of a is %d\n", a); point of any C program.
// Return statement ❑Variable Declaration:
return 0; ✓int a; : This line declares an integer
M } variable a.

❑Initialization::
// Function declaration
int main() { ✓a = 10;: This line initializes the
// Variable declaration variable a with the value 10.
int a;
❑Return Statement:
// Initialization ✓return 0;: This line returns 0,
a = 10;
indicating that the program has
// Function call been executed successfully.
printf("Value of a is %d\n", a); ❑Closing Bracket:
// Return statement ✓}: This line marks the end of the
return 0; main function.

CONTROL STATEMENTS
If Statement: If-Else Statement:
if (condition) { if (condition) {
// code // code
MARGIE'S TRAVEL
} } else {
❑The if statement executes // code
a block of code if a }
specified condition is true. ❑The if-else statement
executes one block of
code if the condition is
true, and another block if
the condition is false.

CONTROL STATEMENTS
Switch Statement:
switch (variable) {
case value1: ❑The switch statement
// code executes one of many
break; blocks of code based on
the value of a variable.
case value2:
// code

default:

CONTROL STATEMENTS
For Loop: While loop:

increment) { // code
