Q: Define a constant in C.

A: A constant is a fixed value that cannot be changed during the execution of a program.

Q: What is the use of #include<stdio.h>?

A: It tells the compiler to include standard input-output functions before actual compilation.

Q: What are data types in C?

A: Data types define the type of data a variable can hold, e.g., int, float, char.

Q: What is the main() function?

A: It is the entry point of any C program.

Unit 2: Control Structures

Q: What are control structures?

A: They control the flow of execution, like if, if-else, switch, loops.

Q: Explain the if-else statement.

A: It allows conditional execution based on a condition.

Q: Syntax of switch statement?
