Programming in C – Module 1 Notes

B.Tech 1st Year CSE (VTU Scheme 2022–23, Batch 2024–25)

Introduction to C Programming:
C is a general-purpose, procedural, and structured programming language developed by Dennis
Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in 1972. It is widely used in system software, embedded systems, and
operating systems because of its efficiency and portability.

Features of C:
1. Simple and efficient
2. Portable and machine independent
3. Structured programming approach
4. Rich set of operators and functions
5. Low-level memory access using pointers
6. Modular programming support

Structure of a C Program:
A typical C program has the following structure:
1. Documentation Section
2. Link Section
3. Definition Section
4. Global Declaration Section
5. main() Function
6. Subprogram Section (user-defined functions)

Documentation Program information (author, purpose)


Link #include header files
Definition Defines constants using #define
Global Declaration Declares global variables and functions
main() Contains executable statements
Subprograms User-defined functions

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

Program Execution Flow (Illustrated Flowchart):


The flow of execution in a C program begins with the main() function and proceeds sequentially
unless control statements alter the flow. Below is a typical structure of a program execution flow:

[Flowchart Diagram: Start → Input → Process → Output → End]


Practice Questions:
1. Explain the structure of a C program with an example.
2. Write a program to add two numbers in C.
3. List and explain various data types in C.
4. What are operators in C? Give examples.
5. Explain different types of control statements with flowcharts.

Summary:
Module 1 introduces the fundamentals of C language, including its structure, syntax, and execution
process. It builds the foundation for understanding variables, operators, and control statements
used in later modules.
