Let us recollect that, a ________________________
Program is a set of instructions given to the

computer to perform any specific task. Programs are written using computer languages. LS-1

The original program is written by a person using a _______________________________

high level language

(source program) such as C, C++ and JAVA. The source program is then converted to

__________________________________
machine language instructions (Object program) that are interpreted

by a computer.

Translation of a source program to object program is done by specialised software called

Compiler or ______________________.
Interpreter Since the source program has to be converted to

machine readable form, it is essential to precisely follow the writing instructions of that

language which is called ________________.

Syntax If the program has _______________
errors it will

not be translated to its equivalent machine language program. Errors in the program are

called Bugs and correcting such errors is called _________________________.

De-bugging

Before writing programs using the computer language, program preparation can be

simplified using ____________________.

flowcharts The program logic is made very easy through

________________________________
flowchart symbols that has standardised meaning.

C is a high level programming language designed at AT&T’s Bell Laboratories. It is a

general purpose structured programming language which can be run in any operating

system. While writing programs we must know: (a) the alphabets, numbers and special

symbols called character set used in C. (b) how to construct the constants, variables and

keywords using the______________________________.

character set (c) finally how are they combined

as instructions to form a program. 

Constants are values that will not change during the execution of the program. Integer,

____________
real and _______________
character are some constant types available in C Language.
Integer constant is either a __________________________________________
positive or a negative value with a LS-1

permissible range of -32768 to +32767 e.g., 1030, -8654. Real constants which are also

called __________________________
floating point constant could be written in two forms,

_____________________
fractional form (decimal point value) and ______________________
exponential form e.g., -

32.76, +12.3e-5. A character constant is a single alphabet or a digit or a symbol enclosed

within single quotes e.g., ‘A’, ‘z’.

A __________________
variable is a space allocated in the memory to store a particular value.

The value can be altered during the execution of the program. Depending on the type of

variable declared in the program, a variable can store values such as ________________,
integer
_______________,
real _______________
character type. A variable name can be a combination of

alphabets, digits and underscore. Variable name must start with an alphabet and should not

contain space, commas, or other special characters e.g., int num_1, float salary, char grade.

Keywords also called _____________________

reserved words are those whose meaning has already

been explained to the C compiler. Some of the keywords available in C are _________,
void
_______,
float _________
int etc.

Delimiters
_____________________ such as ; , (), { } are used to separate keywords and other
statements in C.

Operators help in executing logical and mathematical operations. The different types of

operators are Arithmetic Operators ( ________________________________

+, -, *, /, % ),
__________________
Relational Operators ( > , < , >=, <=, !=, == ), Assignment Operator ( _____
= ),
&&, ||, !
Logical Operators ( _____________________________ ), Increment and Decrement

++, --
Operators ( _________________ ). The various operators when formed with variables and

expression
constants form an ____________________ e.g., (i) ( A+B) * C (ii) AX 2+BX+C (iii) a++ (iv)

a=10 (v) a==10


Statements are a __________________________________________
set or a sequence of action

terminated with a semicolon (;) e.g., tot= mat+sci+soc+lang+eng;
