Essentials of C Program
You've explored the main components of a C program's structure, but there's so much more beneath the surface.
Main.c
12345678#include <stdio.h> // Preprocessor directive int main() { // Entry point printf("Hello, c<>definity!\n"); return 0; // Exit }
The printf() is a function that displays output on the screen. Text meant for display should be wrapped in double quotes.
A function is a reusable block of code that performs a specific task. It takes input (optional), processes it, and can return a result (optional).
Escape Characters
Escape characters are special sequences in C that start with a backslash (\) and represent non-printable or special characters within strings. They allow you to format text in ways that can't be done with regular characters
\n: newline;\t: horizontal tab;\v: vertical tab;\f: form feed.
\\: backslash;\': single quote;\": double quote.
\r: carriage return;\b: backspace;\a: alert (bell);\0: null character.
Main.c
12345678#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hel\nlo"); return 0; }
The Semicolon
The semicolon ; signifies the end of a statement in C. Every statement in C should conclude with a ;. Think of it like the period at the end of a written sentence.
The Return Statement
The return is statement that used to end a function and potentially return a value. In the context of the main function, the standard in C requires the use of return 0. It generally indicates an Exit status or the successful termination of a program.
