What Are Variables in C language | Constants and Keywords in language

Variables are the containers in C language which are used to store data in the program. Variables are the small memory blocks which holds some values in it. Variables in c language :       What are variables in C language ?     In C language, A variable is just like a container that contains values of different data           types. A variable is an entity whose value can be change.      This means that to store any value we use variables in C language. These variables can e        imagined as the small memory blocks in which the data is stored of different types. The           variables are the one of important components of c language as it is used most                          frequently inside the programs of C language.        For Instance In our Kitchen we have differen...

Structure of C Program with Example | C Programming

In this post I will tell you the basic structure of C program  with example in C programming in very simple words. Our First C program : # include<stdio.h> int main() {            printf("Hello World");            return 0; } save te above program with file name "First.c" Note : Every C language file should be saved using .C extention name. Basic structure of a C program : All C programs have to follow a basic structure. The execution of a C program starts from the main() function. The C compiler starts execution from the main() function and executes each statement written inside the main() function line by line. Each instruction of a C program should be terminated by a semicolon ( ; ) i.e. every line of a C program ends with the semicolon ( ; ). 1.      Every program execution starts from the main( ) function. 2.   ...
