Answers:👇

What is C programming language?

C is a general-purpose programming language known for its efficiency and low-level memory access.


Basic structure of a C program:

A C program consists of functions where each program must have a main() function.


What is a variable in C?


A variable is a named storage location in C used to store data values.

How do you declare a variable in C?

Variables are declared with a data type and a name, like

 int num;


Basic data types in C:


Integers (int), floating-point numbers (float), characters (char), and booleans (_Bool).

Difference between int and float:

int stores whole numbers, while float stores decimal numbers.


Input from user in C:

Use scanf() function to take input from the user.

Display output in C:

Use printf() function to display output on the screen.


What are comments in C?

Comments are used for adding notes; they start with /* and end with */.


Use of printf function:

printf() is used for formatted output, allowing variables to be displayed.

Use of scanf function:

scanf() is used for formatted input, allowing user input to be stored in variables.


Arithmetic operators:

+ (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division).


Relational operators:

< (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to), >= (greater than or equal to).

Logical operators:

&& (logical AND), || (logical OR), ! (logical NOT).

if statement in C:

Conditional statement that executes code based on a condition.

for loop in C:

Loop that executes a block of code a specified number of times.


while loop in C:

Loop that executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.


do-while loop in C:

Loop that executes a block of code first and then checks the condition.


Finding size of a variable:

Use sizeof() operator to determine the size of a variable or data type.


What is an array in C?

An array is a collection of elements of the same data type, stored in contiguous memory locations.


What is a function in C?

A function is a reusable block of code. It can be called with arguments and can return a value.

Difference between call by value and call by reference:

Call by value passes a copy of the variable; call by reference passes the address of the variable.


Returning a value from a function:

Use the return keyword followed by the value to be returned.


What is a pointer in C?

A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable.

These brief explanations cover the basic concepts of C programming.
