Escape Sequences

In C programming language, there are 256 numbers of characters in character set. The entire character set is divided into 2 parts i.e. the ASCII characters set and the extended ASCII characters set. But apart from that, some other characters are also there which are not the part of any characters set, known as ESCAPE characters.
List of Escape Sequences
\a    Alarm or Beep   
\b    Backspace
\f    Form Feed
\n    New Line
\r    Carriage Return
\t    Tab (Horizontal)
\v    Vertical Tab
\\    Backslash
\'    Single Quote
\"    Double Quote
\?    Question Mark

Structure of a C Program

Image
Lets understand the  basic structure of a C program. A C program is divided into different sections. There are six main sections to a basic c program. The six sections are, Documentation Include/Link/Preprocessor      section Definition Global Declarations ( Functions and variables) Main function Subprogram functions     Now let us learn about each of this layer in detail. Figure: Basic Structure Of C Program Sample Program The C program here will find the area of a circle using a user-defined function and a global variable PI holding the value of pi /* File Name: areaofcircle.c Author: Abhijith date: 06/05/2021   description: a program to calculate area of circle user enters the radius */ #include<stdio.h>    //link section #define PI    3.14;//definition section float area(float r);//global declaration /****************************/ int main()//main function { float r; printf(" Enter the radius:\n"); scanf("%f...

Files in C

  A file is a repository of data that is store d in a permanent storage media, mainly in secondary memory. In order to use the files we should learn how to read information from a file and how to write information into a file. A very important concept in C is the stream.The stream is a common logical interface to the various devices( files).A stream is linked to a file while using an open operation. A stream is disassociated from a file while using a close operation. The current location, also referred to as the current position, is the location in a file where the next file access will occur.There are two types of streams text and binary. The following are some difference between text and binary files Text file is human readable because everything is stored in terms of text. In binary file everything is written in terms of 0 and 1, therefore binary file is not human readable. A newline(\n) character is converted into the carriage return-linefeed combination before being written to...
