}

ddo
#include<stdio.h>

◦ This includes a file called stdio.h which lets us

use certain commands.
◦ stdio is short for Standard Input/Output which
means it has commands for input like reading
from the keyboard and output like printing things
on the screen.

ddo
main()

◦ main is the name of the point where the program

starts and the brackets are there for a reason that
you will learn in the future but they have to be
there.
◦ All programs must have a main function

ddo
 {}
The 2 curly brackets are used to group all the
commands together so it is known that the
commands belong to main. These curly
brackets are used very often in C to group
things together.

ddo
printf("Hello World\n");
 This is the printf command and it prints text on the screen.
The data that is to be printed is put inside brackets. 

ddo
 Comments in a program are called inline
documentation
 They should be included to explain the purpose
of the program and describe processing steps
 They do not affect how a program works
 C comments can take two forms:
// this comment runs to the end of the line

/* this comment runs to the terminating

symbol, even across line breaks */

ddo
 Spaces, blank lines, and tabs are called white
space
 White space is used to separate words and
symbols in a program
 Extra white space is ignored
 A valid C program can be formatted many ways
 Programs should be formatted to enhance
readability, using consistent indentation

ddo
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
// comments about the program
printf(“Hello World! \n”); }

ddo
 The syntax rules of a language define how we can
put together symbols, reserved words, and
identifiers to make a valid program
 The semantics of a program statement define what
that statement means (its purpose or role in a
program)
 A program that is syntactically correct is not
necessarily logically (semantically) correct
 A program will always do what we tell it to do, not
what we meant to tell it to do
