Welcome to the first lecture. This is what you will see most of the time.
|
|
A text in the beginning, explaining all the things you need to know for the lecture and what you have to do,
|
|
then a text-editor, where you supposed to edit the code to complete the given task and three buttons below the editor. The execute Button will compile
|
|
and execute your code, the submit button will do the same and also check, if your solution is correct. If your solution was correct, you can press the
|
|
continue button to go to the next lecture.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now back to the lecture. This is probably the most simple program. That is why you find it in almost any basic programming book or tutorial.
|
|
Ignore for now the <code>#include <stdio.h></code>. It is not important for now. Below that you see the <b>main-function</b>.
|
|
It marks the <b>entriepoint for your program</b>.
|
|
From there on the computer will exactly <b>execute</b> what you write <b>in order</b> (with exceptions we won't go into). That is what is commonly know as <b>imperative programming</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first thing in our program is a comment and is initiated by double slashes "//". Everything after that in the same line will be ignored by the compiler and therefore not be executed.
|
|
For longer comments you can also surround it by "/* */" so you don't have to type double slashes in every line.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So now to the exciting part. The line:</br>
|
|
<code> printf("Hello User!"); </code></br>
|
|
will write text to the console. In this case <it>Hello User!</it>. Every statement in C ends with a semicolon ";".
|
|
Your task will be to experiment with that line. Change the program to print out Hello World!.
