ogramming with
A simple C program
#i n c l u d e <s t d i o . h>
// A comment
i n t main ( v o i d )
{
p r i n t f ( ” A simple C program \ n” ) ;
return 0;
}

Output:
Dissecting the Code
◮ #include<stdio.h>: it tells the processor to include the
contents of standard input/output header in the
program.
◮ // A comment : // used for define the line as comment
◮ int main (void):
◮ “main” is a program building block called a function.
◮ “int” to the left of main indicates that main “returns”
an integer (whole-number) value.
◮ “void” in parentheses here means that main does not
receive any information.
Dissecting the Code
printf:
◮ instructs the computer to print the character

string.
◮ The escape sequence \n means newline.
Semicolon (;):
◮ terminates a statement, also termed as
statement terminator.
return:
◮ is the exit function.
◮ The value 0 indicates that the program has
terminated successfully.
Simple Tasks
Task 1: Write a program that prints your name.

Task 2: Rewrite the same program with your name should be

printed in multiple lines.
Input and Output
Dissecting the Code II
scanf:
scanf is used to obtain a value from the user.
◮ The %d conversion specifier indicates that the data should be an
integer (the letter d stands for “decimal integer”).
◮ & called the address operator followed by the variable name.

printf :
Printf is defined as before, in addition, the variable name,
preceded by comma(,) after the character string, prints the
corresponding variable value.
Simple Tasks
Task 3.1: Add and subtract two
inputs
Task 3.2: Write a program that give
you the decision that inputted four
values are equal or not
Task 3.3: Write a program for
finding area of circle
Sum of Two Integers
#i n c l u d e < s t d i o . h>
#i n c l u d e < s t d l i b . h>
i n t main ( v o i d )
{
int x;
int y;
int total;
p r i n t f ( ” Enter x\n” ) ;
s c a n f ( ”%d” , &x ) ;
p r i n t f ( ” Enter y\n” ) ;
s c a n f ( ”%d” , &y ) ;
total = x + y;
p r i n t f ( ” Total is %d\n” , total)
re t u r n 0 ;
}
Remainder of 3
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a;
printf("enter the value");
scanf("%d",&a);
if ((a%3)==0)
{
printf("divisible(n)");
Remainder cont…
}
else if ((a%3)==1)
{
printf("n+1");
}
else
{
printf("n+2");
}
return 0;
}
Homework
Task 3.4: Write a program that asks the
user to enter two numbers, obtain the two
numbers from the user and prints the sum,
product, difference, quotient and remainder
of the two numbers.
