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() // The main function { printf("Hello, c<>definity!\n"); // Print text return 0; // Exit }
The printf()
function displays output on the screen. For our example, it shows the message "Hello, c<>definity!"
. Text meant for display should be wrapped in double quotes.
printf("some text");
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
Main.c
12345678#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hel\nlo"); return 0; }
Main.c
12345678#include <stdio.h> int main() { // Try out different escape characters printf("Hello"); 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.
