    Parts of Simple C program

    The best way to learn C or any programming language is to begin writing programs in it.

    Let us write the first program named first.c :

    /* A Simple C Program */

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(void)

    {

    printf(“C is Sea\n”);

    return 0;

    }

    C uses a semicolon as a statement terminator; the semicolon is required as a signal to the compiler to indicate that a statement is complete.

    There are a few important points to note about thisprogram. These are common to all C programs.

     

    1.      In C, the comments can be included in the program. The comment lines start with /* and terminate with */. These statements can be put anywhere in the program. The compiler considers these as non-executable statements.

            According to C99, a comment also begins with // and extends up to the next line break. So the                comment line can be written as follows:

            // A Simple C Program

     2.      In C, all lines that begin with # are directives for the preprocessor, which means that all these directives will be processed before the program is actually compiled. The #include directive includes the contents of a file during compilation.

     3.      Every C program contains a function called main. This is the starting point of the program. A C program may contain one or more functions one of which must be main(). Functions are the building blocks of a C program.

    A C program basically consists of the following parts −

    ·             Preprocessor Commands

    ·             Functions

    ·             Variables

    ·             Statements & Expressions

    ·             Comments
