C Programming Lecture 01

This document discusses C programming and provides an example program. It covers: - A computer program is a sequence of instructions to perform a specified task. - The steps to develop a program are to write it, check for correctness by compiling, and then execute it. - An example C program is shown that prints "Welcome to C programming!" when run. It demonstrates key elements like comments, functions, input/output operations, and returning a value. - The document also briefly discusses data types in C programming and printing special characters.

A Computer program is a sequence of
instructions written to perform a specified
task with a computer.
Computer Program
A Computer program is a sequence of
instructions written to perform a specified
task with a computer.
Example: Computer Program
Computer tell me what would be my balance
after 1 year if my starting balance is 1,00,000
and interest rate is 10%.
COMPUTER PROGRAM
Steps for developing a program
1. Write your program
2. Check Correctness (Compile)
3. Execute
COMPUTER PROGRAM
1 /* Author : Xyz
2 A first program in C */
3 #include <stdio.h>
4
5 int main()
6 {
7 printf( "Welcome to C programming!\n" );
8
9 return 0;
10 }
Welcome to C programming!
COMPUTER PROGRAM
Comments
– Text surrounded by /* and */ is ignored by
computer
– Used to describe program
• #include <stdio.h>
– Preprocessor directive - tells computer to load
contents of a certain file
– <stdio.h> allows standard input/output
operations
COMPUTER PROGRAM
• int main()
– C programs contain one or more functions,
exactly one of
which must be main
– Parenthesis used to indicate a function
– int means that main "returns" an integer value
– Braces indicate a block
• The bodies of all functions must be contained in
braces
COMPUTER PROGRAM
• printf( "Welcome to C!\n" );
– Instructs computer to perform an action
• Specifically, prints string of characters within
quotes
– Entire line called a statement
• All statements must end with a semicolon
– \ - escape character
• Indicates that printf should do something out of
the
ordinary
• \n is the newline character
COMPUTER PROGRAM
• return 0;
– A way to exit a function
– return 0, in this case, means that the program
terminated
normally
• Right brace }
– Indicates end of main has been reached
COMPUTER PROGRAM
Printing special characters
What How
New line printf( "\n" );
Tab printf( "\t" );
Alarm printf( "\a" );
Double quote printf( "\"" );
Slash(\) printf( "\\" );
Percent (%) printf( “%%" );
