First C Program

Come on, guys ! Lets write our first C program to print Hello World on screen :

                   \n #include <stdio.h>\n    int main()\n     {\nprintf(\"Hello World !\");\n\nreturn 0;\n }\n
\n

Output :

Hello World !\n

The C program is made up of following parts:

1. Pre-processor
2. Header file
3. Function
4. Variable
5. Statement and Expression
6. Comments

Pre-processor : #include tells the compiler to include a file and #include<stdio.h> tells the compiler to include stdio.h header file to the program.

Header File : A header file is a file with extension .h and it contains built-in functions, which can be directly used in an program.

For example : We use printf() function in a program to print data on screen. This function is available in stdio.h header file.

main() function : main() is an important part of a C program. Program execution begins from main() function.

Here, we have written int before the main() as it is the return type of of main().

Comments : A large program can be complex and hard to understand. So, to solve this problem we use comments in C.

Single line comment:

                   \n// comments goes here\n

Multi line comment:

                   \n/*\n *  Comment goes here\n */\n

return 0 : This indicates finishing of a function.
\nWhen we wrote our main() function, we used int before it. That int was the return type, so with statement return 0, we are returning a null value to the operating system, this will prevent our program from errors.

Now, save the program with .c extension and run in a compiler(like codeblocks ).
