INTRODUCTION
TO C
What is C
programming?
Definition: C is a high-
level, general-purpose
programming language that
provides low-level access to
memory and system
processes.
Designed for system
programming, it is widely
used for developing

HISTORY OF
C
Origin: Developed by Dennis Ritchie
at Bell Labs in 1972.
Influences: Based on the B
programming language and
influenced by ALGOL.
Evolution:
• K&R C: The original version described
in "The C Programming Language"
book by Kernighan and Ritchie.
• ANSI C: Standardized version by ANSI
in 1989.
• ISO C: Further standardized by ISO in
1990.

FEATURES
OF C
Simplicity: Simple syntax
and easy to learn.
Efficiency: Produces highly
efficient programs.
Portability: Code can run
on different machines with
little or no modification.
Rich Library: Provides a
rich set of built-in functions.

STRUCTURE OF C
Header Files: Include
Statements and
necessary libraries
(e.g., #include Expressions:
<stdio.h>). Perform operations
Main Function: Entry and control
point of the program
program flow.
Return
(int main()).
Functions: Define
Variable
reusable code
Declarations: Declare
blocks.
variables to store data

Return Statement:

has been executed

CONTROL STATEMENTS
If Statement: If-Else Statement:
if (condition) { if (condition) {
// code // code
MARGIE'S TRAVEL
} } else {
The if statement // code
executes a block of }
code if a specified The if-else statement
condition is true. executes one block of
code if the condition is
true, and another
block if the condition
is false.

CONTROL STATEMENTS
Switch Statement:
switch (variable) {
case value1: The switch
// code statement executes
break; one of many blocks
of code based on the
case value2: value of a variable.
// code
break;
default:

CONTROL STATEMENTS
For Loop: While loop:
for (initialization; while (condition) {
condition; increment) { // code
// code }
} The while loop
The for loop repeats repeats a block of
a block of code a code as long as a
