C Programming - 2. Environment Setup

In Windows machine

Follow these following steps-

Step 1:

Step 2:

Download the code-blocks software


Step 3:

          Install it

step 4:

             If you run it the first time it will ask you to set gcc default compiler.

              Just Click "OK" Button

Step 5: 

         create a new file

step 6:


         save it as any name you want but with .c extension

         example : first.c

step 7:


         type this code and save it.

          #include<stdio.h>

         int main()
         {
              printf("Welcome\n");
              
              return 0;
         }

step 8:

Run the Program

         by pressing F9
            
                 or

         clicking "Build and Run" button  on the code-blocks window
Now if the code runs without any error then you are all set 😎

In Linux machine

Step 1:

         Open terminal

         Use the mouse to do it

              or

   Ctrl+alt+T shortcut to open it

Step 2:


                 type the command:

                                                 gedit <name>.c&

                                                 here, the name can be anything you want but use the reasonable one


                                                Example: gedit first.c&

Step 3:


          type this code and save it.

         #include<stdio.h>

         int main()
         {
              printf("Welcome\n");
              
              return 0;
         }

Step 4:

         
         Compile :
                         gcc <name>.c -o <name>

         Run:
                        ./<name>


         For my case this will be:
         
                               compile : gcc first.c -o first
                               run:    ./first

 Now if the code runs without any error then you are all set 😎

Happy Coding

C Programming - 4.1 First C program

First C program #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } Output:                    I am a Programmer In the next tutorials, we will understand this code point by point. Semicolon Issue we have to remember one important thing always end of every statement in C we have to put a semicolon From the first code, there are two statements        printf("I am a Programmer\n");        return 0; and both of them have a semicolon at the end of the line or statement Some people find this annoying 😒 but like it or  not we have to be careful about this Happy Coding See you in next tutorial Next Post: https://coderavens.blogspot.com/2018/05/c-programming-42-main-function.html

C Programming - 4.3 Header Files

Now, again see the first C program I wrote #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } Now, what #include <stdio.h> means actually  Here, stdio.h known as a Header file 😮, remember it's not studio.h 😜 . So many persons done that mistake when he/she first write C codes And, the coolest thing about header file is, it will give you a headache 😨 OK, I am just kidding  Header file term refers to that kind of file which contains C function declarations and macro definitions. A C header file contains .h extension. Like in this code stdio.h contains function declaration and definition of printf() that's why we had to include the  stdio.h  header file at the top of the code The basic syntax of including header files on top of the code #include <header_file_name> Now, you can wonder about printf() function, don't worry we will lea...

C Programming - 4.2 The main() function

The main() function is the entry 🔑 point of a C program Now look at the code what I wrote #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } OK, I wrote, int main() here "int" represents the Integer number is, an Integer number is a whole number not a fraction one like 1,2,0,10,55 etc. now, the question ❓ is- Why I wrote int main() We all know mathematical function right. for example :                         f(x) = bx+c this function  f(x)  has a return value, let's say it's Integer , then for C it is int C functions are quite similar to mathematical functions , the basic format of a C function is return_type function_name() { } by writing int main(), we indicate that this main() function will return an int number. that's ...
