Escape Sequence in C

An escape sequence in C language is a sequence of characters that doesn't represent itself when used inside string literal or character.
It is composed of two or more characters starting with backslash \. For example: \n represents new line.

Escape Sequence Example

  1. #include<stdio.h>    
  2. int main(){    
  3.      int number=50;  
  4.     printf("You\nare\nlearning\n\'c\' language\n\"Do you know C language\"");     
  5. return 0;  
  6. }

Features of C Language

Image
Features of C Language C is the widely used language. It provides many  features that are given below. Simple Machine Independent or Portable Mid-level programming language structured programming language Rich Library Memory Management Fast Speed Pointers Recursion Extensible 1) Simple C is a simple language in the sense that it provides a  structured approach  (to break the problem into parts),  the rich set of library functions ,  data types , etc. 2) Machine Independent or Portable Unlike assembly language, c programs  can be executed on different machines  with some machine specific changes. Therefore, C is a machine independent language. 3) Mid-level programming language Although, C is  intended to do low-level programming . It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver, etc. It  also supports the features of a high-level language . That is why it is known as mid-level language. 4) S...

Flow of C program

Flow of C Program The C program follows many steps in execution. To understand the flow of C program well, let us see a simple program first. File: simple.c #include <stdio.h>      int  main(){     printf( "Hello C Language" );     return  0;    }   Execution Flow Let's try to understand the flow of above program by the figure given below. 1) C program (source code) is sent to preprocessor first. The preprocessor is responsible to convert preprocessor directives into their respective values. The preprocessor generates an expanded source code. 2) Expanded source code is sent to compiler which compiles the code and converts it into assembly code. 3) The assembly code is sent to assembler which assembles the code and converts it into object code. Now a simple.obj file is generated. 4) The object code is sent to linker which links it to the li...

Types of LOOPS

Types of C Loops There are three types of loops in C language that is given below: do while while for do-while loop in C The do-while loop continues until a given condition satisfies. It is also called post tested loop. It is used when it is necessary to execute the loop at least once (mostly menu driven programs). The syntax of do-while loop in c language is given below: do {   //code to be executed    } while (condition);   Flowchart and Example of do-while loop while loop in C The while loop in c is to be used in the scenario where we don't know the number of iterations in advance. The block of statements is executed in the while loop until the condition specified in the while loop is satisfied. It is also called a pre-tested loop. The syntax of while loop in c language is given below: while (condition){   //code to be executed    }   Flowchart ...
