Introduction
 C is a general purpose language which is very closely associated
with UNIX for which it was developed in Bell Laboratories.
 Most of the programs of UNIX are written and run with the help
of 'C'.
 Many of the important ideas of 'c' stem are from BCPL by Martin
Richards.
 In 1972, Denies Ritchie at Bell Laboratories wrote C Language
which caused a revolution in computing world .
 From beginning C was intended to be useful for busy programmers
to get things done easily because C is powerful, dominant and
supple language.

Why Name 'C' was given to this language?
 Many of the ideas of C language were
derived and taken from 'B' language.
 BCPL and CPL are previous versions of 'B'
language.
 As many features came from B it was
named as 'C'.

ABOUT “C”
o C is a structured programming language
o C supports functions that enables easy
maintainability of code, by breaking large file
into smaller modules
o Comments in C provides easy readability
o C is a powerful language.
o C programs built from
• Variable and type declarations
• Functions
• Statements
• Expressions
 C programming language - Structured and
disciplined approach to program design.

Structure Of “C” Programs
 Before going and reading the structure of C
programs we need to have a basic knowledge
of the following:
1. C's Character Set
2. C's Keywords
3. The General Structure of a 'C' Program
4. How To End A Statement
5. Free Format Language
6. Header Files & Library Functions

C's Character Set
C does not use every character set and key found on
modern computers . The only characters that C -
Language uses for its programs are as follows:
 A-Z all alphabets
 a-z all alphabets
 0-9
 # % & ! _ {} [] () $$$$ &&&& |
 space . , : ; ' $ "
 + - / * =

 "Keywords" are words that have special meaning to
the C compiler.
 Their meaning cannot be changed at any instance.
 Serve as basic building blocks for program
statements.
 All keywords are written in only lowercase.
The keywords

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
-- other statements
}
Basic Structure Of “C” Programs
Header Files
Indicates Starting
of Program
Entry Point Of
Program

 The files that are specified in the include
section is called as Header File.
 These are precompiled files that has some
functions defined in them.
 We can call those functions in our program
by supplying parameters.
 Header file is given an extension .h .
 C Source file is given an extension .c .
Header files

 This is the “Entry Point” of a program.
 When a file is executed, the start point is the
main function.
 From main function the flow goes as per the
programmers choice.
 There may or may not be other functions
written by user in a program.
 Main function is compulsory for any C
program.
Main function

 Type a program.
 Save it.
 Compile the program – This will generate an
.exe file (executable)
 Run the program (Actually the exe created out
of compilation will run and not the .c file)
 In different compiler we have different option
for compiling and running.
Running a ‘C’ Program

 The smallest individual units in a C program are known as
tokens. In a C source program, the basic element recognized by
the compiler is the "token." A token is source-program text that
the compiler does not break down into component elements.
 C has 6 different types of tokens viz.
1. Keywords [e.g. float, int, while]
2. Identifiers [e.g. main, amount]
3. Constants [e.g. -25.6, 100]
4. Strings [e.g. “SMIT”, “year”]
5. Special Symbols [e.g. {, }, [, ] ]
6. Operators [e.g. +, -, *]
 C - programs are written using these tokens and the general
syntax.

 They are programmer-chosen names to represent parts of
the program: variables, functions, etc.
 Cannot use C keywords as identifiers
 Must begin with alpha character or _, followed by alpha,
numeric, or _
 Upper- and lower-case characters are important (case-
sensitive)
 Must consist of only letters, digits or underscore ( _ ).
 Only first 31 characters are significant.
 Must NOT contain spaces ( ).
The Identifiers

 Constants in C are the fixed values that do
not change during the execution of a program.

Constants

• Integer Constants
– Refers to sequence of digits such as decimal integer, octal
integer and hexadecimal integer.
– Some of the examples are 112, 0551, 56579u, 0X2 etc.
• Real Constants
– The floating point constants such as 0.0083, -0.78, +67.89 etc.
• Single Character Constants
– A single char const contains a single character enclosed within
pair of single quotes [ ‘ ’ ]. For example, ‘8’, ‘a’ , ‘i’ etc.
• String Constants
– A string constant is a sequence of characters enclosed in double
quotes [ “ ” ]; For example, “0211”, “Stack Overflow” etc.
Constants Examples

DECLARATIONS
 Constants and variables must be declared before
they can be used.
 A constant declaration specifies the type, the
name and the value of the constant.
 any attempt to alter the value of a variable defined
 as constant results in an error message by
the compiler
 A variable declaration specifies the type, the name
and possibly the initial value of the variable.
 When you declare a constant or a variable, the
compiler:
 Reserves a memory location in which to store the
value of the constant or variable.
 Associates the name of the constant or variable
with the memory location.

A Variable is a data name that is used to store any
data value.
Variables are used to store values that can be
changed during the program execution.
Variables in C have the same meaning as variables
in algebra. That is, they represent some unknown, or
variable, value.
x = a + b
z + 2 = 3(y - 5)
Remember that variables in algebra are represented
by a single alphabetic character.
What Are Variables in C?

Naming Variables
Variables in C may be given representations containing
multiple characters. But there are rules for these
representations.
Variable names in C :
 May only consist of letters, digits, and underscores
 May be as long as you like, but only the first 31
characters are significant
 May not begin with a number
 May not be a C reserved word (keyword)
 Should start with a letter or an underscore(_)
 Can contain letters, numbers or underscore.
 No other special characters are allowed including space.

Case Sensitivity
 C is a case sensitive language.
 It matters whether an identifier, such as a
variable name, is uppercase or lowercase.
 Example:
area
Area
AREA
ArEa
are all seen as different variables by the
compiler.

Declaring Variables
 Before using a variable, you must give the compiler some
information about the variable; i.e., you must declare it.
 The declaration statement includes the data type of the
variable.
 Examples of variable declarations:
int length ;
float area ;
 Variables are not automatically initialized. For example, after
declaration
int sum;
the value of the variable sum can be anything (garbage).
 Thus, it is good practice to initialize variables when they are
declared.
 Once a value has been placed in a variable it stays there
until the program alters it.

There are three classes of data types here::
Primitive data types
int, float, double, char
Aggregate OR derived data types
Arrays come under this category
Arrays can contain collection of int or float or char
or double data
User defined data types
Structures and enum fall under this category.
