Escape Sequences in C

Escape sequence are useful for formatting the Input and Output. All Escape sequences are start from Back slash " \" followed by a character.  The " \n " new line is most commonly used in printing statement.

Escape Sequence with ASCII Value

Character	Escape Sequences	ASCII Value
Null	\0	0
Bell (alert)	\a	7
Backspase	\b	8
Horizontal tab	\t	9
New line	\n	10
Vertical tab	\v	11
Formfeed	\f	12
Carriage return	\r	13
Double quote	\"	34
Single quote	\'	39
Question mark	\?	63
Backslash	\\	92
Octal number	\ooo	any
Hexadecimal number	\xhh	any

Octal Number:
Example: \7, \007, \786
Hexadecimal Number:
Example: \x5, \x57, \x7f

Program to display ASCII value

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Null=%d\n",'\0');
printf("Bell (alert)=%d\n",'\a');
printf("Backspase=%d\n",'\b');
printf("Horizontal tab=%d\n",'\t');
printf("New line=%d\n",'\n');
printf("Vertical tab=%d\n",'\v');
printf("Formfeed=%d\n",'\f');
printf("Carriage return=%d\n",'\r');
printf("Double quote=%d\n",'\"');
printf("Single quote=%d\n",'\'');
printf("Question mark=%d\n",'\?');
printf("Backslash=%d\n",'\\');
return 0;
}

Output

Null=0
Bell (alert)=7
Backspase=8
Horizontal tab=9
New line=10
Vertical tab=11
Formfeed=12
Carriage return=13
Double quote=34
Single quote=39
Question mark=63
Backslash=92

Example program to print Escape sequences and percentage symbol.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("\aC Program\n");
printf("New line =\\n\n");
printf("Percentage symbol=%%");
return 0;
}

Operator Precedence in c

When two or more operators share an operand the operator with the higher precedence goes first. For an example, 1 + 2 * 3 is treated as 1 + (2 * 3), because multiplication has a higher precedence than addition.

Operator Precedence and Associativity

Priority	Category	Operator	What is it (or does)	Associativity
1	Highest	( ) [ ] -> .	Function call Array subscript Indirect component selector Direct component selector	Left to Right
2	Unary	! ~ + - ++ -- & * sizeof (type)	Logical negation (NOT) Bitwise (1's) complement Unary plus Unary minus Preincrement or postincrement Predecrement or postdecrement Address Indirection Size of operand, in bytes TypeCast	Right to Left
3	Multiplicative	* / %	Multiply Divide Remainder (modulus)	Left to Right
4	Aditive	+ -	Binary plus Binary minus	Left to Right
5	Shift	<< >>	Shift left Shift right	Left to Right
6	Relational	< <= > >=	Less than Less than or equal to Greater than Greater than or equal to	Left to Right
7	Equality	== !=	Equal to Not equal to	Left to Right
8	Bitwise AND	&	Bitwise AND	Left to Right
9	Bitwise XOR	^	Bitwise XOR	Left to Right
10	Bitwise OR	|	Bitwise OR	Left to Right
11	Logical AND	&&	Logical AND	Left to Right
12	Logical OR	||	Logical OR	Left to Right
13	Conditional	?:	"a ? x : y" means "if a then x, else y"	Right to Left
14	Assignment	= *= /= %= += -= &= ^= |= <<= >>=	Simple assignment Assign product Assign quotient Assign remainder (modulus) Assign sum Assign difference Assign bitwise AND Assign bitwise XOR Assign bitwise OR Assign left shift Assign right shift	Right to Left
15	Comma	,	Evaluate	Left to Right

Example for Operatro precedence

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
float a=1,b=2,c=3,d;
d=a+b*c;
printf("a+b*c=%f\n",d);

d=(a+b)*c;
printf("(a+b)*c=%f",a);
return 0;
}

Output

a+b*c=7.000000
(a+b)*c=1.000000

Punctuator in C

A punctuator is also a token and it also defined in compiler like keywords. A punctuator can also be a token that is used in the syntax of the preprocessor. some Operator or punctuator alternative representations for some operators and punctuators.

Punctuator

Operator	Meanning
[ ]	Array subscript Operator
( )	Parentheses Operator
{ }	Braces
=	Equal sign
,	Comma Operator (or) Punctuator
:	Colon
;	Semicolon
*	Astrisk
" "	Quotes
' '	Ellipsis

C and C++ ( C99 ) provide the following alternative representations for some operators and punctuators.

Operator or punctuator	Alternative Representation
#	%:
##	%:%:
{	<%
}	%>
[	<:
]	:>

Example for using Alternative representation.

// Alternative Representation Example
%:include<stdio.h>
int main()
<%  //  Open Brace {.
char a<:5:>="MDSN";  // Array subscript operator Ex: a[5]="MDSN"
printf("%s",a);  // Output MDSN
return 0;
%>  // Close Brace {.

Some more alternative representation defined as macros in the header file " iso646.h".

Operator or punctuator	Alternative Representation
&	bitand
&&	and
&=	and_eq
|	bitor
||	or
|=	or_eq
^	xor
^=	xor_eq
!	not
!=	not_eq
~	compl

Example:

  %:include<stdio.h> //  # preprocessor 
  %:include<iso646.h>
  int main()
  <%  //  Open Brace {.
  int a=5,b=5,c=2;
  if((a==5)and(a==b)) //if((a==5)&&(a==b))
  {printf("a=5 and a=b\n");}
  
  if(a not_eq c) //if(a != c)
  {printf("a is not equal to c\n");}
  return 0;
  %>  // Close Brace {.

Unary Operators in C

Unary Operators are written before their single operand some Unary Operators written after their operands. Most commonly unary minus is used in the program.

Unary Operator

Operator	Meaning
&	Referencing Operator
*	Dereferencing Operator
+	Unary PlusOperator
-	Unary Minus Operator
++	Increment Operator
--	Decrement Operator
!	Logical Not Operator
~	Bitwise Complement Operator
sizeof	Size of operand in bytes
(type)	Type Cast

Referencing operator ('&')

Referencing operator ( & ) produces the address of a variable, Ex: &a is a pointer to a. the
parameters are declared as pointers, and the operands are accessed indirectly through them.

Dereferencing Operator ('*')

The unary operator "*" is Dereferencing Operator and it applied to a pointer, it
accesses the object the pointer variable. Ex: *a.

Unary ( +, - ) Operator

The operands of the unary "+" and "-"operator must have arithmetic type, and the result is the value of the operand. The type of the result is the type of the promoted operand.

Increment Operator (++) & Decrement Operator (--)

The "++" adds one to the variables and "--" subtracts one from the variable. Because it acts upon only one variable.

Operator	Meaning
++a	Pre increment
a++	Post increment
--a	Pre decrement
a--	Post decrement

  Consider the statement
a=5, b=5

Expression	Value
++a	6
a++	6
--b	4
b--	4

Coding for the above Example:

#include<stdio.h>
  int main()
  {
  int a=5,b=5;
  printf("Value of a=%d\n",a);
  printf("Pre increment %d\n",++a);
  printf("After pre increment the value of a=%d\n",a);
  printf("Post increment %d\n",a++);
  printf("After post increment the value of a=%d\n\n",a);
printf("Value of b=%d\n",b);
  printf("Pre decrement %d\n",--b);
  printf("After pre decrement the value of a=%d\n",b);
  printf("Post decrement %d\n",b--);
  printf("After post decrement the value of a=%d\n",b--);
return 0;
  }

Output

Value of a=5
Pre increment 6
After pre increment the value of a=6
Post increment 6
After post increment the value of a=7

Value of b=5
Pre decrement 4
After pre decrement the value of a=4
Post decrement 4
After post decrement the value of a=3

Logical Not Operator

The variable(operand) must be of scalar type (i.e. not an array, a structure or an union).
Consider the statement
a=5,b=7,c=5

Expression	Interpretation	Value
!(a==c)	False	0
!(a==b)	True	1

Bitwise Complement Operator

operand must be of integral type. Each 0 bit in the operand is set to 1, and each 1 bit in the operand is set to 0.
Consider the statement
X=19;
Z=~x;
X=0001 0011₂
Z=1110 1100₂

Sizeof Operator

The "sizeof" Operator returns the size of the variable or type. It returns the size in bytes.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int m;
printf("%d",sizeof(int));
printf("\n%d",sizeof(m));
return 0;
}

Type Cast

Type casting is a way of converting a variable form one data to another data type. For an example if you want to store a integer value into a float then you can type cast int to float.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=5,b=3;
float c;
c=(float) a/b;
printf("a/b=%f",c);
return 0;
}

Logical Operators in C

Logical Operators are useful in combining one or more conditions. C allows usage of three logical operators namely " &&, ||, ! ".

Logical Operators

Operator	Meaning
&&	Logical AND
||	Logical OR
!	Logical NOT

Truth Table of Logical Operator

In the following table
if True(T) means value is one.
If False(F) means valuse is Zero.

X	Y	!X	!Y	X && Y	X || Y
F	F	T	T	F	F
F	T	T	F	F	T
T	F	F	T	F	T
T	T	F	F	T	T

Consider the statement
a=5,b=7;c=5;

Expression	Interpretation	Value
(a>=5)&&(a<b)	True	1
!(a==c)	False	0
(a!=5)||(b>c)	True	1
!(a==b)	True	1

Codings for the above Example:

#include<stdio.h>
  int main()
  {
  int a=5,b=7,c=5;
  
  if((a>=5)&&(a<b)){printf("\"(a>=5)&&(a<b)\" = True\n");}
  else{printf("\"(a>=5)&&(a<b)\" = False\n");}
  
  if(!(a==c)){printf("\"!(a==b) or a is not equal to c\" = True\n");}
  else{printf("\"!(a==b) or a is not equal to c\" = False\n");}
  
  if((a!=5)||(b>c)){printf("\"(a!=5)||(b>c)\" = True\n");}
  else{printf("\"(a!=5)||(b>c)\" = False\n");}
  
  if(!(a==b)){printf("\"!(a==b) or a is not equal to b\" = True\n");}
  else{printf("\"!(a==b) or a is not equal to b\" = False\n");}
  
  return 0;
  }

Relational operator in C

The relational operators allows to compare two or more values to see whether they are equal or unequal.

Relational operator

Operator	Meanning
<	Is less than
<=	Is less then or equal to
>	Is greater then
>=	Is greater then or equal to
!=	Is not equal to
==	Is equal to

Consider the statement
a=1,b=2,c=3;

Expression	Interpretation	Value
a<b	True	1
b>c	False	0
a<=b	True	1
c>=b	True	1
c!=3	False	0
a==1	True	1

Codings for the above Example:

#include<stdio.h>
  int main()
  {
  int a=1,b=2,c=3;
if(a<b)
  {printf("a is less then b  ,value= 1 \n");}
  else{printf("a is not less then b  ,value=0 \n");}
if(b>c)
  {printf("b is greater then c  ,value=1 \n");}
  else{printf("b is not greater then c  ,value=0 \n");}
if(a<=b)
  {printf("a is less then or equal to b  ,value=1 \n");}
  else{printf("a is not less then or equal to b  ,value=0 \n");}
if(c>b)
  {printf("c is greater then or equal to b  ,value=1 \n");}
  else{printf("c is not greater then or equal to b  ,value=0 \n");}
if(c!=3)
  {printf("c is not equal to 3  ,value=1 \n");}
  else{printf("c is equal to 3  ,value=0 \n");}
if(a==1)
  {printf("a is equal to 1  ,value=1 \n");}
  else{printf("a is not equal to 1  ,value=0 \n");}
  return 0;
  }

Output

a is less then b ,value= 1
b is not greater then c ,value=0
a is less then or equal to b ,value=1
c is greater then or equal to b ,value=1
c is equal to 3 ,value=0
a is equal to 1 ,value=1

Conditional Operator in C

Conditional Operator is also known as Turnary Operator. It is an alternate method to using a simple if-else. It checks the condition and executes the statement depending on the condition.

Syntex

condition?expression1:expression2;

if condition is True or value 1 means expression1 will execute.
if condition is False or value 0 means expression2 will execute.
Example:
Consider the statement
a=7,b=5
c=(a>b) ? a:b;
after execution the value of c=7
Example 1:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=7,b=5,c;
c=(0) ? a:b;   // c=5
printf("c=%d\n",c);
c=(1) ? a:b;   // c=7
printf("c=%d\n",c);
return 0;
}

Example 2:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a=7,b=5,c;
c=(a>b) ? a:b;
printf("c=%d",c);
return 0;
}

Example :3

// Conditional operator using multiple function
  #include<stdio.h>
  int comp();
  int prin1();
  int prin2();
  int main()
  {
  comp()?prin1():prin2();//multiple function using Turnary Operator
return 0;
  }
 /* Comparing the values in comp()[function]
  int comp()
  {
  int a=7,b=5;
  if(a<b)
  {return 0;}
  if(a>b)
  {return 1;}
  }
 
int prin1() // printing function 1
  {
  printf("A is bigger\n");
  return 0;
  }
  
int prin2() // printing function 2
  {
  printf("B is bigger\n");
  return 0;
  }

Bitwise operator in C

Bitwise operator permit the programmer to access and manipulate individual bits within a piece of data. These operators can operate upon ints and chars but not on floats and doubles.

Bitwise operators

Operator	Meaning
&	Bitwise AND
|	Bitwise OR
^	Bitwise XOR
<<	Shift Left
>>	Shift Right
~	Bitwise Complement  (or) One's Complement

Bitwise Operatot Truth Table

Bitwise Operator performs bit by bit operation.

X	Y	X & Y	X | Y	X ^ Y
0	0	0	0	0
0	1	0	1	1
1	0	0	1	1
1	1	1	1	0

Left Shift Operator

Consider the statement
X=19;
Z=X<<2;
The value in the integer X is shifted left by two bit positions. The result is assigned to Z.The value of X is 0001 0011₂ the value of Z after the execution the value of Z is 0100 1100₂.

0001 00112	Left Shift(2)
0100 11002	<-- Insert 2 Zero's (0)

Right Shift Operator

Consider the statement
X=19;
Z=X<<2;
The value in the integer X is shifted Right by two bit positions. The result is assigned to Z.The value of X is 0001 0011₂ the value of Z after the execution the value of Z is 0000 0100₂.

Right Shift(2)	0001 00112
Insert 2 Zero's (0) -->	0100 11002

Bitwise Complement Operator

operand must be of integral type. Each 0 bit in the operand is set to 1, and each 1 bit in the operand is set to 0.
Consider the statement
X=19;
Z=~x;
X=0001 0011₂
Z=1110 1100₂

Bitwise operator Example:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int X=19,Y=16,Z;
Z=X&Y;
printf("X&Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X|Y;
printf("X|Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X^Y;
printf("X^Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X<<2;
printf("X<<2=%d\n",Z);
Z=X>>2;
printf("X>>2=%d\n",Z);
Z=~X;
printf("~X=%d\n",Z);
return 0;
}

Output

X&Y=16
X|Y=19
X^Y=3
X<<2=76
X>>2=4
~X=-20

Assume that X=19, Y=16, the binary format will be as follows.
X = 0001 0011₂ - 19₁₀
Y = 0001 0000₂ - 16₁₀

	Binary	Decimal
X & Y	0001 0000	1610
X | Y	0001 00112	1910
X ^ Y	0000 00112	310
X<<2	0100 11002	7610
X>>2	0000 01002	410
~X	1110 11002	-2010

Assignment Operators in C

Assignment Operators are used to assign a value of an expression or a value of a variable to another variable. The most commonly used assignment operator is "=". There are two different Assignment Operators are available in C 1.Compound Assignment, 2.Multiple Assignment.

Syntex

variable = expression (or) value;
The '=' operator is the simple Assignment operator. Example:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x; // Declaration of a variable
x=5;   // Assignment Operator
printf("x=%d",x);
return 0;
}

Compound Assignment

Compound Assignment Operator is to assign a value to a variable in order to assign a new value to a variable arter performing a specifed operation.

Operator	Example	Meaning
+ =	X + = Y	X = X + Y
- =	X - = Y	X = X - Y
* =	X * = Y	X = X * Y
/ =	X / = Y	X = X / Y
% =	X % = Y	X = X % Y

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x=5,y=5; // Declaration of a variable
x+=y;   // Compound Assignment X = X + Y
printf("x=%d",x);
return 0;
}

Multiple Assignment

Using Multiple Assignment we can assign a single value or an expression to multiple variables. Example:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x,y,z=5; // Declaration of a variable
x=y=z;   // Multiple Assignment X=Y=Z(5)
printf("x=%d,y=%d,z=%d",x,y,z);
return 0;
}

Arithmetic Operators in C

In "C " language we can carryout basic arithmetic operation like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Both unary and binary are Arithmetic Operator.

Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Meaning	Example
+	Addition	7 + 3 = 10
-	Subtraction	10 - 3 = 7
*	Multiplication	5 * 2 = 10
/	Division	10 / 2 = 5
%	Modulus	9 % 2 = 1

//  Arithmetic Operators
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int X=16,Y=10,Z;
Z=X+Y;
printf("X+Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X-Y;
printf("X-Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X*Y;
printf("X*Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X/Y;
printf("X/Y=%d\n",Z);
Z=X%Y;
printf("X%%Y=%d\n\b",Z); 
return 0;
}

Output

X+Y=26
X-Y=6
X*Y=160
X/Y=1
X%Y=6

Operator and Punctuators

An operator is a symbol that specifies an operation to be performed on the operands. The data items are called operands. The operators are usually form a part of mathematical or logical expressions.

Types of Operator and Punctuators

• Arithmetic Operator
• Assignment Operator
• Bitwise Operator
• Conditional Operator ( Ternary Operator )
• Logical Operator
• Relational Operator
• Unary Operator
• Punctuators

Constants ( Literals )

The values cannot be changed during the execution of program are called constants. The fixed values are also called literals.

Types of Constants ( Literals )

1. Integer Constants
2. Float Constants
3. Character Constants
4. String Constants

Integer Constants

Integer Constants are numbers that do not have a decimal point or an exponential part.
They can be represented as:

Decimal Number	0 to 9	Ex: 7, 8, 6, -80, 786, etc.,
Octal Number	0 to 7	EX: 0, 012, 052, etc.,
Hexadecimal Number	0 to 9, A, B, C, D, E, F	Ex: 0x786, 0xA123, 0x2b, etc.,

Float Constants

Float Constants are numbers that have a decimal point or an exponential part.
They can be represented as:

Float Constant	Value
7.867e3	7,867
4e-11	0.00000000004
1e+5	100000
7.e10	60000000000
0.16	0.16

Character Constants

Character Constants contains a single character enclosed within a single quotation mark symbol.
Ex: 'M', 'A', '9', '-', etc.., .

String Constants

A String Constants contains a sequence of characters or escape sequences enclosed in double quotation mark symbols.
EX:"MDSN", "Learn C\n", " ", etc.., .

How to Define a Constant in C

There are two simple ways to define Constants.

1. #define ( Preprocessor)
   Example:
   

   
   #include <stdio.h>
   #define Length 10    //Preprocessor
   #define Width 5      //Preprocessor
   int main(){
   int Area;
   Area=Length*Width;
   printf("Area=%d",Area);
   return 0;
   } 

2. const ( Keyword )
   Example:
   

   
    #include <stdio.h>
   int main(){
   const Length=10, Width=5;  // Keyword
   int Area;
   Area=Length*Width;
   printf("Area=%d",Area);
   return 0;
   } 

C and C++ Keywords

Keywords are already been explained in the C compiler. We can’t use keywords as variable names because it’s already defined in C compiler. The keywords are also called as “Reserved words”.

C and C++ Keywords

auto	extern	sizeof
break	float	static
case	for	struct
char	goto	switch
const	if	typdef
continue	int	union
default	long	unsigned
do	register	void
double	return	volatile
else	short	while
enum	signed

C++ Kewords

asm	inline	this
bool	mutable	throw
catch	namespace	true
class	new	try
const_cast	operator	typeid
delete	private	typename
dynamic_cast	protected	using
explicit	public	virtual
export	reinterpret_cast	wchar_t
false	static_cast
friend	template

Identifier

An identifier is a sequence of letters and digits. Identifiers are created to give unique name to C entities to identify it during the execution of program. It means names given to various program elements, such as variables, function, etc..,

Rules for naming an Identifier

1. The first character must be “_”( underscore ) or any alphabet character.
   Ex: abc_, a_bc, a1bc, A1_bc
2. We can use both upper and lower case but upper case character is not equal to lower case character.
   Ex: abc is not equal to ABC
3. Keyword, special symbols and space are not allowed.
   EX: int, void, $abc, 1abc, a bc
4. An identifier can be of any length while most of the C compiler recognizes only the first 31 characters.

The following program will helps you to understand more about Identifier.

// Identifiers are in this program : MD_SN, abc, ABC, a_bc1, A_BC2
#include <stdio.h>
  int MD_SN();
  char abc='M', ABC='D', a_bc1='S', A_BC2='N';
  int main()
  {
  MD_SN();
  return 0;
  }
  int MD_SN()
  {
  printf("%c%c%c%c",abc,ABC,a_bc1,A_BC2);
}

Output

MDSN

Tokens in C Programming language

Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan have included a reference manual to give explanation of the ANSI standard. The reference manual defines six classes of Tokens in C.

Tokens in C Programming language

• Identifiers
• Keywords
• Constants ( Literals )
• Operators and Punctuators

A "C" program is constructed using tokens. Tokens are similar to building blocks of a program. The flowing form parts are not part of any six classes.

• Blanks

C character set

A character denotes uppercase letters A to Z, lowercase letters a to z, digits 0 to 9 and special symbols.

Character set

• The upper and lowercase letters of English alphabet:
  A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
  a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
• Decimal Digits: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
• Special symbols:
  + - * / = ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) { } [ ] . < > , : ; _ ? \ ' " white space(blank space)

Comment line in C Program

The comment statement is not executable. Comments are like helping text in C program and they are ignored by the compiler and it is very helpful to understand the program easily. There are two types of comment in C program.

1. Single line comment
2. Multi line comment

1.Single line comment

1. It can be Placed anywhere in C program
2. Single line comment starts with " // "
3. It can't be split over Multiple lines like Multi line comment
4. Any symbols written after "//" will be ignored by C compiler.

Example:

// Title   :  Learn C
// Author  :  Mohamed Ushman
#include <stdio.h> 
int main()
 {
  printf("Learn C :)");   // Single line comment 
  return 0;// Until the end of line will be ignored by C compiler 
 }

2. Multi line comment

1. It can be Placed anywhere in C program
2. Single line comment starts with "/*" and ends with "*/"
3. It can be split over Multiple lines
4. It can be used like Single line comment

Example:

/*
  Title     :  Learn C
  Author  :  Mohamed Ushman
  */
  #include <stdio.h> 
  int main()
  {
  printf("Learn C :)");   /* It can be used like Single line comment */
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------
  printf("Learn C program");   Ignored By C Compiler
 ------------------------------------------------------------------*/
  return 0; 
  }

Different way of using comments

We can use comment to specify variables and some operation like addition, subtraction, etc.., .
Example:

/*********************************
  *    Title     :  Learn C
  *    Author  :  Mohamed Ushman
  *********************************/
  #include <stdio.h> 
  int main()
  {
  int a=5,b=5;
  int c;       //   To display output
  c=a+b;   //  Adition 
/*
  c=a-b;   //  Subtraction 
  */
printf("Value of c=%d",c);
  return 0; 
  }
  

Basic Structure of C Program

Getting Started

Basic Structure of C Program

First step is to understand the structure of a “ C “ programming language using simple C program.
Let us look a simple code that would print the word “Learn C :) ”.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
 /* My First program in C :) */
 printf("Learn C :)");
 return 0;
 }
 

Output

Learn C :)

S.no	Coding	Explanation
1	#include <stdio.h>	This is a preprocessor command it tells the C compiler to include “stdio.h” from the C library before compiling a C program.
2	int main()	This is the main function from where execution of any C program begins.
3	{	This indicates the beginning of the main function.
4	/*_some_comments_*/ or // some_comments	The comments are ignored by compiler. [ “ /*..*/ ”,” //... “ ]
5	printf("Learn C :)");	printf command prints the output onto the screen.
6	return 0;	This command terminates C program (main function) and returns 0 value to the main function.
7	}	This indicates the end of the main function.

 

Semicolon ( ; )

In C program, the semicolon is a statement terminator. In each individual statement must be ended with a semicolon.

Comma operator ( , )

The coma operator is used to separates the elements of variables in data type or element in array etc.
Ex: int a=7,b,c;

Whitespace (   )

Whitespace is the term used in C to describe blanks space like tabs, horizontal tab, newline characters(pressing Enter key and write coding in new line ) and space between comments. Whitespace separates one part of a statement from another and enables the compiler to identify elements in a statement.
Ex: int i, void main(), etc..,.

The following two example program will help you to learn more about whitespace.
Example: 1:-More Whitespace

#include <stdio.h>
  int main()
  {
  printf
  (
 " Learn C :) "
 )
  ;
  return 0;
  } 

Remember at least one whitespace character (space) between int main(), int i;, return 0;, etc..,
Example: 2:-

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){printf(" Learn C :) ");return 0;} 

The above two program output will be same

Output

Learn C :)

History of c programming language

C programming language is a foundation of C++. Learning C is the first step to learn C++ because you cannot skip step, you must have to learn C before learning C++. C is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. Many later languages like Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, C#, Perl, PHP, Python, etc.., have borrowed directly or indirectly from C language.

History of C Language

• C is a programming language developed “ AT & T’s  Bell Laboratories ”  of USA  in 1972.  C was written by Dennis M.Ritchie.
• Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie produced the first publicly available description of  C known as “K&R C”.
• The UNIX Operating System and essentially UNIX application program have been written in C.
• The language was formalized in 1989 by American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
  

The following table illustrates the history of “ C “ Language.

Programming Language	Year	Founder
ALGOL	1960	International group
BCPL	1967	Martin Richards
B	1970	Ken Thompson
C	1972	Dennis Richie
K&R C	1978	Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie
ANSI C	1989	ANSI Committee
ANSI/ISO	1990	ISO Committee

C89/C90 standard:

In 1990 ANSI C become ISO standard, the programming Language C is also called "C89" and "C90".

C99 standard:

C99 version published in 1999. It includes new futures like inline function and advanced data type and other changes.

C11 standard:

C11 standard adds new features to C and the library, including type generic macros, anonymous structures, improved Unicode support, atomic operations, multi-threading, and bounds-checked functions. It also makes some portions of the existing C99 library optional, and improves compatibility with C++.

Embedded C:

Embedded C includes features not available in normal C like fixed-point arithmetic, named address spaces, and basic I/O hardware addressing.

How to create own name File and Folder using context menu

In windows by default you can create “New folder, New folder (2), etc..,”. By this method you can create your own name (custom name) folder EX:“ MDSN, MDSN (2), etc..,”. By this method we can also create our own name file’s using context menu.

1.Creating own name Files.

You can create own name file such as .txt, doc etc..,
Open Registry Editor
Open run command ( windows key + r ).
Type regedit to open Registry Editor.

First create the file you want to change the name
Ex:"New Text Document.txt" form context menu.
Copy the file name "New Text Document".
After that remove text "New" and copy text as "Text Document".
Goto the registry editor and press Ctrl + F to find Text Document in my sytem I found (Default) value "OOXML Text Document" it is different for all system. Keep search the value until you find the exact value.
If you find then rename it to your name or any name.
(Before renaming copy the value. Because if it’s not works then you can restore the name.)
If it's not work do the same steps because mostly all important information are stored in windows registry.

2.Creating own name folder.

First
Download Create own name Folder.BAT.zip
Download Create own name Folder.reg.zip

Unzip the file “Create own name Folder.BAT.zip”  after that open “Create own name Folder.BAT” form notepad.

    
::EX: Inside of  "NAME"=="MOHAMED USHMAN [ MDSN ]"  Edit 3 times inside of "NAME"

::EX: " [ "==" (" ---"{ " 

::EX: " ] "==" )" ---" }" 

::Don't use EX:\ / : * ? " < > |

cmd /c
FOR /L %%A IN (2,+1,100) Do (if exist "NAME" ( MD "NAME"" [ ""%%A"" ]"&&EXIT ) ELSE ( MD "NAME"&&EXIT ) )

   

In the batch file code rename “NAME” to any name EX: “MDSN” 3 times

    
::EX: Inside of  "NAME"=="MOHAMED USHMAN [ MDSN ]"  Edit 3 times inside of "NAME"

::EX: " [ "==" (" ---"{ " 

::EX: " ] "==" )" ---" }" 

::Don't use EX:\ / : * ? " < > |

cmd /c
FOR /L %%A IN (2,+1,100) Do (if exist "MDSN" ( MD "MDSN"" [ ""%%A"" ]"&&EXIT ) ELSE ( MD "MDSN"&&EXIT ) )

   

After that save and run “Create own name Folder.BAT”. If you create your folder successfully then install the “Create own name Folder.reg” file in your system.

Open Registry Editor
Open run command ( windows key + r ).
Type regedit to open Registry Editor.
Navigate to the

 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Create own name Folder

Right click on (Default) key value. Then click Modify...
Enter Value Data: MDSN (Any Name)
After that Navigate to the
