Chapter 3 A First C-Program: Structure, Printing, Repetition

We start this chapter by jumping right into coding and writing our first C-programs. We’ll learn how to display messages to the computer screen in order to communicate with the user. We’ll learn how to find mistakes in our code, and we’ll even take a look at some simple repetition (also known as “looping”). In the process we’ll take a look at the main structure of a C-program. Here are all the topics we’ll cover:
  • A first C-program
  • Displaying messages on the screen ("printing")
  • Printing multiple lines
  • Syntax errors
  • Repetition (looping)
  • Simple looping errors
  • Comments
