CIS 1057 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: In C, Include Directive, Machine Code
Document Summary
Software development: specify the problem/goal that needs to be solved, analyze the problem and break it into more basic parts, design a series of steps (algorithm) which can be followed to solve the problem. Implement the algorithm in computable steps in code: test the program to ensure correct output, maintain the program and update it as new needs arise. A system program that modifies a c program prior to its compilation. Tells preprocessor to replace all instances of const_macro with value. A collection of useful functions and symbols that may be accessed by a program. Some libraries are supplied as a standard with all c implementation. Comments are text in plain english that are ignored by the preprocessor. They can be used to provide additional information about the code. In c, a single-line comment begins with // and a multi-line comment begins with /* and ends with */ Every c program has a main function.
