Instructions to write C Program
C Instructions
Now that we have written a few
programs let us look at the instructions that we used in these programs. There are basically three types of
instructions in C:
- Type Declaration Instruction
- Arithmetic Instruction
- Control Instruction
The purpose of each of these
instructions is given below:
Type declaration instruction
|
To declare the
type of variables used in a C program.
|
Arithmetic instruction
|
To perform
arithmetic operations between constants and variables.
|
Control instruction
|
To control the
sequence of execution of various statements in a C program.
|
Since, the elementary C programs
would usually contain only the type declaration and the arithmetic instructions;
we would discuss only these two instructions at this stage. The other types of instructions
would be discussed in detail in the subsequent chapters.
