Preprocessor Directives
Compiler preprocessor statements. Link compiler functions like cout, cin, sqrt, clrscr, etc. with the INCLUDE subdirectory having header files like iostream.h, conio.h #include<header file>

Local declaration Executable part

6. End of main program } 7. Sub-program section or user defined program
