1. Introduction to C:

C is a general-purpose programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie. It is widely used for system

programming and embedded systems.

2. Basic Structure of a C Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

// Code

return 0;

3. Data Types in C:

- int: Integer

- float: Decimal numbers

- char: Character

- double: Double precision float

4. Variables and Constants:

Variables store data; constants are fixed values.

Example: int a = 10;

6. Conditional Statements:

- if, if-else, nested if

- switch statement

7. Loops in C:

- for loop

- while loop

- do-while loop

8. Functions in C:

Functions help in reusability and modular code.

Example:

int add(int a, int b) {

return a + b;

9. Arrays and Strings:

- Arrays store multiple values of the same type.

- Strings are arrays of characters ending with ''.

10. Pointers in C:

Pointers store memory addresses. Example: int *ptr;

11. File Handling in C:

Used to read/write files using functions like fopen, fclose, fprintf, fscanf, etc.

12. Advantages of C:

- Fast execution

- Efficient memory management

- Powerful and flexible
