Learn C: Introduction

Syntax in C

The rules that dictate the correct format of code for a // Statements must end in a semicolon (;)
specific programming language are known as syntax.
// correct
Examples of syntax in C are:
All statements must end with a semicolon, ; printf("Hello World!");
Keywords and other code elements are case-
sensitive
// error
When compiling C code, an error will occur when the
syntax of the code is incorrect. printf("Hello World!")

// Code elements are case sensitive


// correct
printf("Hello World!");

// error
PRINTF("Hello World!");

Escape Sequences

In C, an escape sequence is a non-visual character // \n acts as a newline in a string


used within a string.
printf("Hello\nWorld!"); // Outputs:
\n is an escape sequence that adds a newline to a
string. \t is an escape sequence that adds a tab of Hello
spaces to a string. //
World!

// \t acts as a tab in a string


printf("Hello\tWorld!"); // Outputs:
Hello World!
Comments in C

In C, comments are text within code that will be ignored // Comments


by the compiler. They are used to document code.
Line comments begin with a double forward slash, // .
All text after // will be part of the comment until a new /* This review content is
line is reached. about comments and how they
Block comments begin with a forward slash and
can be used to document code */
asterisk, /* and end with an asterisk and forward slash,
*/ . Block comments can span multiple lines as new
lines are part of the comment. // This is a line comment

/* This is a
block comment */

Compiling C Code with gcc

gcc is an application used to compile C programs into gcc script.c


an executable that can run on the target computer.
gcc script.c -o myProgram
gcc stands for GNU Compiler Collection.
gcc compiles C code using the code file as an
unflagged command-line argument. The output
executable file will be called a.out . The -o flag
followed by some text can be used to designate the
name of the output executable file.
