INTRODUCTION
TO C
W ha t i s C
prog ra m m ing ?

▪ Definition: C is a high-level,
general-purpose programming
language that provides low-level
access to memory and system
processes.

▪ Designed for system programming,

it is widely used for developing
operating systems.

HISTORY OF
C
❑Origin: Developed by Dennis Ritchie at
Bell Labs in 1972.

❑Influences: Based on the B programming

language and influenced by ALGOL.

❑Evolution:

• K&R C: The original version described in

"The C Programming Language" book by
Kernighan and Ritchie.

• ANSI C: Standardized version by ANSI in

1989.

• ISO C: Further standardized by ISO in

1990.

FEATURES OF
C
❑Simplicity: Simple syntax and
easy to learn.

❑Efficiency: Produces highly

efficient programs.

❑Portability: Code can run on

different machines with little or no
modification.

❑Rich Library: Provides a rich set

of built-in functions.

STRUCTURE OF C

❑Header Files: Include

❑ Statements and
necessary libraries (e.g.,
Expressions: Perform
#include <stdio.h>).
operations and control
❑Main Function: Entry program flow.
point of the program (int ❑ Return Functions:
main()). Define reusable code
❑Variable Declarations: blocks.
Declare variables to store
data

#include <stdio.h> // Preprocessor

directive BASIC SYNTAX
❑Preprocessor Directive:
// Function declaration
✓#include <stdio.h>: This line includes
int main() {
// Variable declaration the Standard Input Output library,
int a; which allows the use of functions like
printf.
// Initialization
MARGIE'S TRAVEL

❑Function Declaration:
a = 10;
✓int main() : This line declares the
// Function call main function, which is the entry
printf("Value of a is %d\n", a); point of any C program.

// Return statement ❑Variable Declaration:

return 0; ✓int a; : This line declares an integer

M } variable a.

❑Initialization::
// Function declaration
int main() { ✓a = 10;: This line initializes the
// Variable declaration variable a with the value 10.
int a;
❑Return Statement:
// Initialization ✓return 0;: This line returns 0,
a = 10;
indicating that the program has

// Function call been executed successfully.

printf("Value of a is %d\n", a); ❑Closing Bracket:

// Return statement ✓}: This line marks the end of the

return 0; main function.

CONTROL STATEMENTS

If Statement: If-Else Statement:

if (condition) { if (condition) {
// code // code
MARGIE'S TRAVEL

} } else {
❑The if statement executes // code
a block of code if a }
specified condition is true. ❑The if-else statement
executes one block of
code if the condition is
true, and another block if
the condition is false.
13

CONTROL STATEMENTS

Switch Statement:
switch (variable) {
case value1: ❑The switch statement
// code executes one of many
break; blocks of code based on
the value of a variable.
case value2:
// code
break;
default:
// code
}

CONTROL STATEMENTS

For Loop: While loop:

for (initialization; condition; while (condition) {

increment) { // code
// code }
} ❑The while loop repeats a

block of code a specific specified condition is
