How to write c programs?

To write the first c program, open the C console and write the following code:

File name : hello.c or hello.cpp

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

printf("Hello C Language");

return 0;

}

#include <stdio.h> includes the standard input output library functions. The printf() function is defined in stdio.h .

int main() The main() function is the entry point of every program in c language.

printf() The printf() function is used to print data on the console.

return 0 The return 0 statement, returns execution status to the OS. The 0 value is used for successful execution and 1 for unsuccessful execution.

Or, press ctrl+f9 keys compile and run the program directly.

You can view the user screen any time by pressing the alt+f5 keys. Now press Esc to return to the turbo c++ console.
