C is one of the first programming languags. C is used a lot because it does not cost any money because most computer can allready read C programs with no problems. Also C's progrmas have more of a compact source so they do take up as much room asd other languages such as basic. C can be run with all most any system if you have the proper equiptment. All you need is something to type it up with which could be anything and a compiler which is different from IBM to MAC. the compiler formates the source so that the computer can read it. Most IBM computer use the extention .exe which i uesally run under dos unless you program the program to run under windows, Unix, etc. All C programs Start with:

          #include <stdio.h>

---

C programs also have a:

    #include <stdio.h>

        Main()
    {

     statements

     }

in them

---

Vars

 
     int name;
     chr name;
     num name;

---

Print Text

 

    printf("text here"\n);

in you want to print down the next line you must put a \n where you what to go down a line

---

Functions

 
   name();

the functions will be discribed earlier so the computer knows what to do

---

Inputs

 
    scanf("%f", &name")

&name is the name you want to asign the text you type in. scanf looks for a text in the line which the user must type in.

Most of C works a lot like JavaScript. You add and subtract vars and numbers the same way and to asign vars with a number just use the = sign and if you are tryin to compare something you use the == sign.
