The Keywords in Red are the data types they are used to define the data type of a variable.

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.
   {

}
