Getting Started with C
Getting
Started with C
There is a close analogy between
learning English language and learning C language. The
classical method of learning English is to first learn the alphabets used in
the language, then learn to combine these alphabets to form words, which in
turn are combined to form sentences and sentences are combined to form
paragraphs.
Learning C is similar and easier.
Instead of straight-away learning how to write programs, we must first know what alphabets, numbers and special symbols are used in
C, then how using them constants, variables and keywords are constructed,
and finally how are these combined to form an
instruction. A group of instructions would be combined later on to form a
program. This is illustrated in the Figure 1.1.
