The document provides an overview of the C programming language, highlighting its structured programming nature that compartmentalizes code into functions. It outlines the basic structure of a C program, including preprocessor directives, functions, and declarations, alongside a simple 'Hello World' example. Additionally, it discusses the features and applications of C, emphasizing its importance for students in computer science and engineering fields due to its foundational role in programming.
An Overview of Programming C
- 1. An Overview of Programming C Presented by- CheesecakeTech
- 2. Why C is called a structured programming language? Divides the problem into functions or procedures, each of which handles a particular responsibility. Compartmentalization of code and data Programming possibilities ( i.e. loops like for, while, do-while)
- 3. What is the program structure of c-language? 1) The preprocessor directive which is part of compiler and A c program may have the following preprocessor directive. like #include <file name> 2) Functions like main() // here, the function starts. { //opening of braces 3) Declarations like:- declarations; // we will declare & initialize the variables here. 4) Function have block of statements like statements; // writing of statements. 5) Closing the functions } // closing of braces.
- 4. A Simple C program //C hello world example #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello worldn"); return 0; } Output: Hello World
- 5. • Features of C A middle level computer language Best elements of high level languages with control Flexibility of assembly language Rich set of built-in functions and operators Portability
- 7. Applications of C For creating computer applications Writing embedded software Developing verification software, test code, simulators etc. For creating compilers Implementing different operating system operations
- 9. Why C is needed in upcoming courses? For CSE students C is important as it’s the most basic language. C has a great influence in Java and other object oriented programming languages. For EEE students, C is needed for PCB software, excel macros, embedded development, microcontroller and microprocessor.
