C Detailed Notes

C is a low-level procedural programming language that allows direct access to memory and system resources, making it suitable for operating systems and performance-critical applications. It features basic syntax, variables, control structures, loops, functions, and pointers. C is foundational for modern programming languages and is widely used in OS kernels, embedded systems, and compilers.

C - Detailed Notes

Introduction
C is a procedural, low-level programming language. It provides direct access to memory and
system resources. It is widely used in operating systems, embedded systems, and
performance-critical applications.

Basic Syntax

Hello World
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}

Variables & Data Types


int age = 21;
float pi = 3.14;
char grade = 'A';

Control Structures
int x = 10;
if (x > 0) printf("Positive");
else if (x == 0) printf("Zero");
else printf("Negative");

Loops
for(int i=0;i<5;i++) printf("%d", i);
while(x>0){ printf("%d", x); x--; }

Functions
int add(int a, int b){ return a+b; }

Pointers & Memory


int n=10; int *p = &n;
printf("%d", *p);

Applications
- OS kernels (Linux, Windows parts)
- Embedded systems
- Compilers

Summary
C is efficient and close to hardware, forming the foundation of modern languages.
