C Language Rules Sheet

The document outlines essential rules for programming in C, including the necessity of a main() function, the requirement for statements to end with a semicolon, and the importance of variable declaration before use. It also covers the use of header files, data types, input/output functions, control structures like if-else and loops, and the syntax for comments and escape sequences. Overall, these guidelines provide a foundational understanding of C programming syntax and structure.

C Language Programming Rules

1. Every C program must have a main() function:

int main() {

return 0;

2. Every statement ends with a semicolon `;`:

printf("Hello");

3. C is case-sensitive:

int number; // different from Number or NUMBER

4. All variables must be declared before use:

int a = 10;

5. Use #include for header files:

#include <stdio.h>

6. Use proper data types:

int, float, char etc.

7. Use printf() for output and scanf() for input:

scanf("%d", &a);

printf("%d", a);

8. Use return 0; at the end of main():

return 0;

9. Variable declaration:

int a; float marks; char grade;

10. Arithmetic operations:


+, -, *, /

11. If-Else condition:

if (a > b) {

printf("A is greater");

} else {

printf("B is greater");

12. Loops:

For loop:

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { }

While loop:

while (i < 5) { }

13. Functions:

int add(int a, int b) {

return a + b;

14. Comments:

// single-line

/* multi-line */

15. Header Files:

#include <stdio.h>, <math.h>

16. Escape Sequences:

\n = New line, \t = Tab, \\ = Backslash, \" = Double quote
