They all carry the extension .h and contain functions that have already been provided to the programmer to perform some specific task. For eg.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">(a) stdio.h is a header file that contains the Standard Input/Output functions that are needed for basic input/output operations in the program.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">(b) conio.h is a header file that deals with the Console Input/Output operations,i.e. dealing with the display on the Console (monitor) when the program is run.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">(c) math.h is a header file that provides functions which help in mathematical operations.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">2. global declarations<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Global declarations are the values that can be used in the complete program or package created. These values and attributes declared globally can be accessed by  all the functionc and modules created inside the program.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">3.  return-type main(parameter list)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">'return-type' is the type of value returned by the function.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">'main' is special. Our program begins executing at the beginning of main. This means that every program must have a main somewhere. main will usually call other functions to help perform its job, some that you wrote, and others from libraries that are provided for us. 'parameter list' - One method of communicating data between functions is for the calling function to provide a list of values, called arguments, to the function it calls. The parentheses after the function name surround the argument list. In this example, main is defined to be a function that expects no arguments, which can be indicated by the empty list ( ).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">NOTE- A C program, whatever its size, consists of functions and variables. A function  contains statements that specify the computing operations to be done, and variables store values used during the computation.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">The statements of a function are enclosed in braces { }.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Some of the commonly used functions in 'C' are-<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">1. printf()<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">This is a function which is used to get the output as a display on the monitor. The arguments passed to this funtion is displayed as an output. It is a library function which is stored in the header file 'stdio.h'.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">2. scanf()<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">This is a function which is used to get the input from the user. The arguments passed to this funtion are taken as an input. It is a library function which is stored in the header file 'stdio.h'.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">3. getch()<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Generally to hold the output screen on the monitor Alt+F5 is used. Or an alternate way is to use getch() function which is used for the same purpose. It is a library function and is stored in the header file 'conio.h'.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Another function getche() can also be used for the same purpose. The main difference between the two is that the key pressed to return back from the output screen is displayed along with the main output display in the case of getche().<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">4. clrscr()<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">This is a library function that is used to clear the output screen and is defined in the header file 'conio.h'.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Note- The character strings are usually placed inside the double quotes ("..."). The sequence \n in the string is C notation for the newline character, which when printed advances the output to the left margin on the next line. Notice that \n represents only a single character. An escape sequence like \n provides a general and extensible mechanism for representing hard-to-type or invisible characters. Among the others that C provides are \t for tab, \b for backspace, \" for the double quote and \\ for the backslash itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Also note that any characters between /* and */ are ignored by the compiler; they may be used freely to make a program easier to understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">DATA TYPES are the types of data that tells the types of values that the variable can store, the type of data that can be dealt with and the associated functions of handling it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Flow of Control-<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">1.

The fundamental data types are characters, and integers and floating point numbers of several sizes. Besides, there is a hierarchy of derived data types created with pointers, arrays, structures and unions. Expressions are formed through a legal combination of operators and operands. Any expression, including an assignment or a function call, can be a statement. Pointers provide for machine-independent address arithmetic.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Functions may have return values of various data  types, structures, unions, or pointers. Any may be a recursive function. Local variables are typically generated with every invocation of the function. The functions of a C program may exist in separate source files that are compiled separately.

There are  no operations to deal directly with composite objects such as character strings, sets, lists or arrays, no operations that manipulate an entire array or string, although structures may be copied as a unit. The language does not define any storage allocation facility other than static definition. Finally, C itself provides no input/output facilities and no built-in file access methods. All of these higher-level mechanisms must be provided by explicitly called functions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a committee to provide a modern, comprehensive definition of C. The resulting definition, the ANSI standard, or ``ANSI C'', was completed in late 1988. Most of the features of the standard are already supported by modern compilers.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: FrankRuehl;">Here we are going to discuss 'C' from the very beginning to the extent we can reach through by gathering the most out of our studies.So subscribe our site to get our posts into your mail box.
