C Programming - Comprehensive Guide with Examples

History and Introduction to C Programming


C is a general-purpose programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1972. It

is known for its efficiency, portability, and flexibility, which makes it widely used in system

programming, embedded systems, and software development. C influenced many modern

programming languages like C++, Java, and Python.

Structure of a C Program:

A typical C program consists of:

1. Preprocessor directives

2. main() function

3. Variable declarations

4. Statements and expressions

5. Functions

Example:

#include<stdio.h>

int main() {

printf("Hello, World!");

return 0;

Compilation and Execution of C Programs


Compilation involves converting the source code into machine code using a compiler.

Steps:

1. Write the code in a .c file.


2. Use a compiler (e.g., GCC) to compile: gcc program.c -o program

3. Execute the binary: ./program

Debugging Techniques:

1. Use a debugger like gdb.

2. Insert print statements to track values.

3. Check for logical errors and memory leaks.

Data Types, Variables, and Modifiers


Data Types:

1. int - Integer (e.g., int age = 25;)

2. float - Floating-point number (e.g., float pi = 3.14;)

3. char - Character (e.g., char grade = 'A';)

4. double - Double precision floating-point number.

Declaration of Variables:

Variables must be declared before use.

Example:

int x;

float y = 5.5;

Modifiers:

Used to change the size or range of a variable (e.g., unsigned, short, long).
