Introduction of C programming language

-
C is a general-purpose programming language that has been around for nearly 50 years.
C has been used to write everything from operating systems (including Windows and many others) to complex programs like the Python interpreter, Git, Oracle database, and more.
The versatility of C is by design. It is a low-level language that relates closely to the way machines work while still being easy to learn.

How to print Hello World! in JAVA language

-
How to print Hello World! : Let's start by creating a simple program that prints “Hello World” to the screen. class MyClass {     public static void main(String[ ] args) {         System.out.println("Hello World");     } } In Java, every line of code that can actually run needs to be inside a class. In our example, we named the class MyClass. You will learn more about classes in the upcoming modules. In Java, each application has an entry point, or a starting point, which is a method called main. Along with main, the keywords public and static will also be explained later. The main Method To run our program, the main method must be identical to this signature: public static void main(String[ ] args) -> public: anyone can access it -> static: method can be run without creating an instance of the class containing the main method -> void: method doesn't return any value -> main: the name of the method For examp...

Constants in C Programming Language

-
Constants in C : A constant stores a value that cannot be changed from its initial assignment. By using constants with meaningful names, code is easier to read and understand. To distinguish constants from variables, a common practice is to use uppercase identifiers. One way to define a constant is by using the const keyword in a variable declaration: #include <stdio.h> int main() {     const double PI = 3.14;     printf("%f", PI);     return 0; } The value of PI cannot be changed during program execution. For example, another assignment statement, such as PI = 3.141 will generate an error. Another way to define a constant is with the #define preprocessor directive. The #define directive uses macros for defining constant values. For example: #include <stdio.h> #define PI 3.14 int main() {     printf("%f", PI);     return 0; } Before compilation, the preprocessor replaces every macro identifier i...

The #include directive

-
The #include directive : C programs are divided into modules or functions. Some functions are written by users, likeus, and many others are stored in the C library. Library functions are grouped category-wise and stored in different files known as Header Files . If we want to access the functions stored in the library, it is necessary to tell the compiler about the files to be accessed. This is achieved by using the preprocessor directive #include as follows :                 #include<filename> filename is the name of the library file that contains the required function definition. Pre-processor directives are placed at the beginning of a program.
