short
unsigned
continue
for
signed
void

goto
sizeof
volatile
do
if
static
while

The Keywords in Red are the data types they are used to define the data type of a variable.
Example: int i; float f; char ch; long l;
The Usage of these keywords will be covered as they arrive in programming.



COMMENTS IN C

  • ·       Comments are used in programs to explain or justify meaning of a program or any statement or any set of code.
  • ·       Comments are also used for documentation of a program or project in which the name of program, aim of program, date of program development can be written.
  • ·       Comments make it easy for a person other than the developer to understand the set of code.



Types Of Comments

In C there are only Single Line Comments, which means the single comment can be of one line only.
The Single Line comments are written in two ways
1.    By Using /* to start a comment and */ to end a comment.
2.    By Using (double Slash) // followed by comment to be written.

Example:

#include<stdio.h>    /*including standard input-output method.
#include<conio.h>   //including console input-output method.
void main()              //the main function.
   {

}

Basic Structure of 'C' Program and Printing Hello,World! in 'C'

The Basic Structure of ‘c’ Like most of the programming languages, C too has a structural approach and hence it has a basic structure. Here is the basic structure of a typical C program: 1)     DOCUMENTATION A Typical Program consist s of Documentation, in which the Details regarding the program and the programmer are written in comments. 2)    HEADER FILES: LINK TO THE C LIBRARY Header Files links the Various Library modules, classes to the program, Header files Includes methods from C Library with a “ #include ” command and the function name within < > symbols. E.g.: include<stdio.h> which includes Standard Input Output Methods to C Program. 3)    DEFINITION define directive is used to define a variable whose value stays same throughout the program. E.g.:   #define PI 3.14 4)   GLOBAL DECLARATIONS The Functions other than main () are declared here in global declaration section E.g.: ...

Variable: Declaration, initialization and Usage

Variable Variables are the names given to some memory location where a value is stored; the variable is corresponding to the data or value input in it.

VARIABLE DECLARATION: In this step, the variables are declared, this steps always occurs before using the variables. FORMAT:   EXAMPLE: VARIABLE INITIALIZATION: Providing a Value to any variable is called initialization. INITIALIZATION AT THE TIME OF DECLARATION: The variable can be given its value at the time of declaration. USAGE OF VARIABLE: Here is the example, to show how a vari...
