  • · A Variable name can be alphanumeric but should start with an Alphabet.
  • · A Variable name should not consist of any special symbol other than “_” Underscore Symbol. 
  • · A Variable should be defined before using it.

VARIABLE DECLARATION:

In this step, the variables are declared, this steps always occurs before using the variables.

FORMAT:

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:

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.: ...
