Writing C Programs
A programmer uses a text editor to create or

modify files containing C code.

Code is also known as source code.

A file containing source code is called a source

file.
After a C source file has been created, the

programmer must invoke the C compiler before

the program can be executed (run).

Scanf ("%d", &integer1 )

Uses scanf to obtain a value from the user. The
scanf function reads from the standard input,
which is usually the keyboard.
scanf has two arguments, "%d" and &integer1.
The first argument, the format control string,
indicates the type of data that should be input by
the user.
(the letter d stands for decimal integer).

Dr. Basheer M. Nasef

Scanf ("%d", &integer1 )

The % in this context is treated by scanf (and printf as
well see) as a special character that begins a conversion
specifier.
The second argument of scanf begins with an ampersand
(&)called the address operator in C followed by the
variable name.
The ampersand, when combined with the variable name,
tells scanf the location (or address) in memory at which
the variable integer1 is stored.
The computer then stores the value for integer1 at that
location.
