Essentials of C Program

You've explored the main components of a C program's structure, but there's so much more beneath the surface.

c

Main

copy
12345678
#include <stdio.h> // Preprocessor directive int main() // The main function { printf("Hello, c<>definity!\n"); // Print text return 0; // Exit }

The printf() function displays output on the screen. For our example, it shows the message "Hello, c<>definity!". Text meant for display should be wrapped in double quotes.

Escape Characters

Escape characters are special sequences in C that start with a backslash (\) and represent non-printable or special characters within strings. They allow you to format text in ways that can't be done with regular characters

c

Main

copy
12345678
#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hel\nlo"); return 0; }
c

Main

copy
12345678
#include <stdio.h> int main() { // Try out different escape characters printf("Hello"); return 0; }

The Semicolon

The semicolon ; signifies the end of a statement in C. Every statement in C should conclude with a ;. Think of it like the period at the end of a written sentence.

The Return Statement

The return is statement that used to end a function and potentially return a value. In the context of the main function, the standard in C requires the use of return 0. It generally indicates an Exit status or the successful termination of a program.
