10. Compiler

11. Uses of C • System programming i.e. Operating System and Embedded Controller Microcontroller Supercomputer

12. Program Structure • A C program basically has the following form: • Preprocessor Commands • Type definitions • Function prototypes -- declare function types and variables passed to function. • Variables • Functions

13. Basic Idea About C • Program is written in the form of a number of text files using a screen editor. • source program • Completed source file is passed to a compiler - a program which generates a new file containing a machine code translation of the source text. • object file or executable file
