  Introduction: C Programming isan ANSI/ISO standard and powerful programming language for developing real time applications. C programming language was invented by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972. It was invented for implementing UNIX operating system. C is most widely used programming language even today. All other programming languages were derived directly or indirectly from C programming concepts. This tutorial explains all basic concepts in C like history of C language, data types, keywords, constants, variables, operators, expressions, control statements, array, pointer, string, library functions, structures and unions etc.

  I/O Statements: printf() andscanf() functions are inbuilt library functions in C programming language which are available in C library by default. These functions are declared and related macros are defined in “stdio.h” which is a header file in C language. We have to include “stdio.h” file as shown in below C program to make use of these printf() and scanf() library functions in C language. Data Types: C data types are defined as the data storage format that a variable can store a data to perform a specific operation. Data types are used to define a variable before to use in a program. Size of variable, constant and array are determined by data types. C – DATA TYPES: There are four data types in C language. They are, Types Data Types Basic data types int, char, float, double Enumeration data type enum Derived data type pointer, array, structure, union Void data type void

  C Constants arealso like normal variables. But, only difference is, their values can not be modified by the program once they are defined. Constants refer to fixed values. They are also called as literals Constants may be belonging to any of the data type. Syntax: const data_type variable_name; (or) const data_type *variable_name; TYPES OF C CONSTANT: 1.Integer constants 2.Real or Floating point constants 3.Octal & Hexadecimal constants 4.Character constants 5.String constants 6.Backslash character constants

  C – Operatorsand Expressions The symbols which are used to perform logical and mathematical operations in a C program are called C operators. These C operators join individual constants and variables to form expressions. Operators, functions, constants and variables are combined together to form expressions. Consider the expression A + B * 5. where, +, * are operators, A, B are variables, 5 is constant and A + B * 5 is an expression. TYPES OF C OPERATORS: C language offers many types of operators. They are, 1. Arithmetic operators 2. Assignment operators 3. Relational operators 4. Logical operators 5. Bit wise operators 6. Conditional operators (ternary operators) 7. Increment/decrement operators 8. Special operators

  C – DecisionControl statement In decision control statements (if-else and nested if), group of statements are executed when condition is true. If condition is false, then else part statements are executed. There are 3 types of decision making control statements in C language. They are, if statements if else statements nested if statements “IF”, “ELSE” AND “NESTED IF” DECISION CONTROL STATEMENTS IN C: Syntax for each C decision control statements are given in below table with description.
• 7.
  Decision control statementsSyntax/Description if Syntax: if (condition) { Statements; } Description: In these type of statements, if condition is true, then respective block of code is executed. if…else Syntax: if (condition) { Statement1; Statement2; } else { Statement3; Statement4; } Description: In these type of statements, group of statements are executed when condition is true. If condition is false, then else part statements are executed.
• 8.
  nested if Syntax: if (condition1) { Statement1;} else_if(condition2) { Statement2; } else Statement 3; Description: If condition 1 is false, then condition 2 is checked and statements are executed if it is true. If condition 2 also gets failure, then else part is executed.

  C – Casecontrol statements The statements which are used to execute only specific block of statements in a series of blocks are called case control statements. There are 4 types of case control statements in C language. They are, 1. Switch 2. break 3.continue 4. goto 1. SWITCH CASE STATEMENT IN C: Switch case statements are used to execute only specific case statements based on the switch expression. Below is the syntax for switch case statement. switch (expression) { case label1: statements; break; case label2: statements; break; case label3: statements; break; default: statements; break; }

  2. BREAK STATEMENTIN C: Break statement is used to terminate the while loops, switch case loops and for loops from the subsequent execution. Syntax: break; 3. CONTINUE STATEMENT IN C: Continue statement is used to continue the next iteration of for loop, while loop and do-while loops. So, the remaining statements are skipped within the loop for that particular iteration. Syntax : continue; 4. GOTO STATEMENT IN C: goto statements is used to transfer the normal flow of a program to the specified label in the program. Below is the syntax for goto statement in C. { ……. go to label; ……. ……. LABEL: statements; }

  C – Array CArray is a collection of variables belongings to the same data type. You can store group of data of same data type in an array. Array might be belonging to any of the data types Array size must be a constant value. Always, Contiguous (adjacent) memory locations are used to store array elements in memory. It is a best practice to initialize an array to zero or null while declaring, if we don’t assign any values to array. EXAMPLE FOR C ARRAYS: int a[10]; // integer array char b[10]; // character array i.e. string TYPES OF C ARRAYS: There are 2 types of C arrays. They are, One dimensional array Multi dimensional array 1. ONE DIMENSIONALARRAY IN C: Syntax : data-type arr_name[array_size]; 2. TWO DIMENSIONALARRAY IN C: Two dimensional array is nothing but array of array. syntax : data_type array_name[num_of_rows][num_of_column];
