C "Hello, World!" Program | Explanation of hello world program in c
Introduction – “hello, world” This is an exercise for
creating your very first Alice program. This exercise is good for creating you
very first computer program or your very first computer program in Alice. You
may want to reference the lesson Programming in Alice or the Code Editor How to
resources. These materials can be downloaded and printed for offline use from
Alice.org The History of “hello, world” A “hello, world” program has a long
history in computer science. It is commonly used as a program that can be
created to show that a programming environment is properly working but also to
prove that you have learned enough about a programming language that you can
make this program work and display hello, world. This program has a long
history with novice programmers as being their very first executed program. The
actual origin of the program dates back to the late 1960’s and early 1970’s
with some debate as to the very first use but has been attributed to Brian
Kernighan and Martin Richards. It is documented as an example program in the
book The C Programming Language
#include main( ) { printf("hello,
world\n"); Adding an Object The first step will be to add an object to
your scene. You may wish to watch the Videos or check the Quick Reference
Guides for the How To: Adding Objects to a Scene 1. Start Alice 2. Select the a
template from the Blank Slates section of the Select Template Dialog box. 3.
Click on the Setup Scene button to go to the Scene Editor of Alice. 4. Add a
character of your choice by double clicking it and adding it to the center of the
scene or dragging and dropping it into the world 5. Click on the Edit Code
button to return to the Code Editor Adding a Procedural Method (statements)
Next you will write your very first Alice program. You may wish to watch the
Videos or check the Quick Reference Guides for the How To: Using Procedures
Overview. 6. Select your character from the object menu of the methods panel.
7. Drag the say tile into the myFirstMethod tab of the editor. 8. Select the
Custom TextString from the pop up drop down. 9. Input “hello, world” in the
input field. 10. Save the project. Run Your Program Next you will run your
program and officially become an Alice/Computer programmer! 11. Press the Run
button found on the camera view window. Congratulations!
A simple C
program to display "Hello, World!" on the screen. Since, it's a very
simple program, it is often used to illustrate the syntax of a programming
language.
To
understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C Programming topics:
Program to Display "Hello, World!"
#include <stdio.h>
In main ()
{
// printf () displays the string
inside quotation
Printf ("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}
Output
Hello, World!
How "Hello, World!" program works?
- The #include
<stdio.h> is a preprocessor
command. This command tells compiler to include the contents of stdio.h (standard input and output) file in the program.
The stdio.h file contains functions such as scanf() and print() to take input and display output respectively.
If you use printf() function without writing #include <stdio.h>, the program will not be compiled. - The execution of a C program
starts from the main() function.
- The printf() is a library function to send formatted output to
the screen. In this program, the printf() displays Hello, World! text
on the screen.
- The return 0; statement is the "Exit status" of the
program. In simple terms, program ends with this statement.
