C Programming Assignment

Introduction to C Programming
• • Developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972
• • General-purpose, procedural programming
language
• • Foundation for modern languages like C++,
Java, Python
• • Used in system programming, game
development, and embedded systems
Features of C Language
• • Simple and efficient
• • Fast execution speed
• • Rich set of built-in functions
• • Supports structured programming
• • Low-level access to memory
• • Extensively used in OS development
Data Types in C
• • int – Integer type (e.g., 10, -5)
• • float – Floating point (e.g., 3.14, -0.001)
• • char – Character type (e.g., 'A', 'b')
• • double – Double precision floating point
• • void – Represents empty type (used in
functions)
Control Structures in C
• • Conditional Statements: if, if-else, switch
• • Loops: for, while, do-while
• • Jump Statements: break, continue, goto
• • These structures help control program flow
Functions in C
• • Block of code that performs a specific task
• • Helps in code reusability and modularity
• • Types of functions:
• - Library functions (printf, scanf, etc.)
• - User-defined functions
• • Function structure:
• returnType functionName(parameters) { //
body }
Pointers in C
• • Special variables that store memory
addresses
• • Used for dynamic memory allocation
• • Syntax: int *ptr;
• • Allows efficient array manipulation and
function calls
Conclusion
• • C is a powerful and efficient programming
language
• • Understanding data types, control
structures, and functions is crucial
• • Pointers and memory management enhance
flexibility
• • Strong foundation for advanced
programming concepts
