🏁 Day 1: C from Zero to Hero – Getting Started

Welcome to your first step on the journey from complete beginner to C expert! Today we’ll cover:

1. What is C?

2. Your first C program

3. Compilation & execution (simple)

4. Basic input/output

5. Homework exercises

1. What Is C?

 C is a general-purpose, high-performance programming language created in the 1970s.

 It gives you direct control over memory and system resources.

 C is the foundation for many other languages (C++, Java, Python internals).

2. Your First C Program: “Hello, World!”

Every language tutorial starts with this classic. It shows you the minimal structure you need.

CopyEdit

#include <stdio.h> // 1) Tell the compiler you’ll use standard I/O functions

int main(void) { // 2) main() is where your program starts

printf("Hello, World!\n"); // 3) Print text to the screen

return 0; // 4) Return 0 → “I finished successfully”

Explanation:

1. #include <stdio.h>
Imports the Standard Input/Output library so you can use printf().

2. int main(void)
The entry point of every C program.

3. printf("…");
Prints text to your console.
4. return 0;
Signals to the operating system that everything ran fine.

3. Compile & Run (Simplified)

1. Save the code as hello.c.

2. Open your terminal (or Code::Blocks/VS Code built-in terminal).

3. Type:

cpp

CopyEdit

gcc hello.c -o hello // “gcc” compiles, “-o hello” names the output

./hello // Run the compiled program

4. You should see:

CopyEdit

Hello, World!

4. Basic Input & Output

Let’s extend “Hello, World!” to ask the user their name and greet them.

CopyEdit

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

char name[50]; // Reserve space for up to 49 chars + null

printf("Enter your name: "); // Prompt

scanf("%49s", name); // Read a word (no spaces) safely

printf("Hello, %s! Welcome to C.\n", name);

return 0;

 char name[50]; creates a text buffer of length 50.


 scanf("%49s", name); reads up to 49 characters, preventing overflow.

5. Day 1 Homework

1. Write & Run the two programs above (Hello World and Name Greeter).

2. Experiment: Change the prompt to ask for your favorite number:

o Read an int using scanf("%d", &num);

o Print “Your favorite number is X”.

3. Answer in your own words:

o What does #include <stdio.h> do?

o Why do we use return 0; in main()?

o What happens if you omit -o hello when compiling?

When you’ve tried these, share:

 What worked?

 Any errors you saw?

 Anything you found confusing?

I’ll help you debug and clarify. Tomorrow we’ll build on this with variables, data types, and more I/O.
Good luck!
