    Files Used in A C Program: Source Code File

    Uploaded by

    sampurnakumar
    The document discusses the different file types used in a C program, including source code files with a .c extension that contain the main function, header files with a .h extension that contain reusable subroutines shared across programs, and object files that are created during compilation and linked to produce the final binary executable file that can be run. Header files allow for easy sharing of subroutines between programs and reflection of any changes made to the subroutines.

    FILES USED IN A C PROGRAM

    Source code file


    The source code file contains the source code of the program. The file extension of any C
    source code file is ".c". This file contains C source code that defines the main function and
    maybe other functions. The main() is the starting point of execution when you successfully
    compile and run the program. A C program in general may include even other source code
    files (with the file extension .cj.

    Header Files

    When working with large projects, it is often desirable to make sub-routines and store
    them in a different file known as header file. The advantage of header files can be realized
    when

    1) The programmer wants to use the same subroutines in different programs.


    2) The programmer wants to change, or add, subroutines, and have those changes be
    reflected in all other programs.
    Conventionally, header files names ends with a ",h" extension and its name can use
    only letters, digits, dashes, and underscores.
    While some standard header files are available in C, but the programmer may also
    create his
