Variable
This refers to the named area in memory that stores a value or string
assigned to that variable. It is named storage location capable of
containing a certain type of data that can be modified during program
execution.
A variable is nothing but a name given to a storage area that our programs
can manipulate. Each variable in C has a specific type, which determines the
size and layout of the variable's memory; the range of values that can be
stored within that memory; and the set of operations that can be applied to
the variable.

Variable
The name of a variable can be composed of letters, digits, and the
underscore character. It must begin with either a letter or an
underscore. Upper and lowercase letters are distinct because C is
case-sensitive.
Example:
 number
 _myAge
 sum1

Data Types
This is a definition of a set of data that specifies the possible range of
values of the set, the operations that can be performed on the values,
and the way in which the values are stored in memory. Knowing the
type of data enables the computer to manipulate it appropriately.
Data types in C refer to an extensive system used for declaring variables or
functions of different types. The type of a variable determines how much
space it occupies in storage and how the bit pattern stored is interpreted.

Constants
Constants refer to fixed values that the program may not alter during
its execution. These fixed values are also called literals.
Constants can be of any of the basic data types like an integer
constant, a floating constant, a character constant, or a string literal.
Constants are treated just like regular variables except that their values
cannot be modified after their definition.

Constants: Integer Literals
An integer literal can be a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal constant. A
prefix specifies the base or radix: 0x or 0X for hexadecimal, 0 for octal,
and nothing for decimal.
An integer literal can also have a suffix that is a combination of U and L, for
unsigned and long, respectively. The suffix can be uppercase or lowercase and
can be in any order.

Constants: Floating-point Literals
A floating-point literal has an integer part, a decimal point, a
fractional part, and an exponent part. You can represent floating point
literals either in decimal form or exponential form.
While representing decimal form, you must include the decimal point, the
exponent, or both; and while representing exponential form, you must
include the integer part, the fractional part, or both. The signed exponent is
introduced by e or E.

Constants: Character Constants
Character literals are enclosed in single quotes, e.g., 'x' can be stored
in a simple variable of char type.
A character literal can be a plain character (e.g., 'x'), an escape
sequence (e.g., 't'), or a universal character (e.g., 'u02C0').
There are certain characters in C that represent special meaning
when preceded by a backslash for example, newline (n) or tab (t).

Arithmetic Operators
Operator Description Example
+ Adds two operands. A + B = 30
− Subtracts second operand from the first. A − B = 10
* Multiplies both operands. A * B = 200
/ Divides numerator by de-numerator. B / A = 2
% Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer division. B % A = 0
++ Increment operator increases the integer value by one. A++ = 11
-- Decrement operator decreases the integer value by one. A-- = 9

Relational Operators
== Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not. If yes, then the
condition becomes true.
(A == B) is not true.
!= Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not. If the values are
not equal, then the condition becomes true.
(A != B) is true.
> Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right
operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.
(A > B) is not true.
< Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand.
If yes, then the condition becomes true.
(A < B) is true.
>= Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of
right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.
(A >= B) is not true.
<= Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of
right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.
(A <= B) is true.

Logical Operators
&& Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are non-zero, then the
(A && B) is false.
|| Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands is non-zero, then the
(A || B) is true.
! Called Logical NOT Operator. It is used to reverse the logical state of its
operand. If a condition is true, then Logical NOT operator will make it false.
!(A && B) is true.

Let us take a look at the various parts of the above program −
The first line of the program #include <stdio.h> is a preprocessor command,
which tells a C compiler to include stdio.h file before going to actual
compilation.
The next line /*...*/ will be ignored by the compiler and it has been put to add
additional comments in the program. So such lines are called comments in the
program.
The next line return 0; terminates the main() function and returns the value 0.

C - Input & Output
When we say Input, it means to feed some data into a program. An
input can be given in the form of a file or from the command line. C
programming provides a set of built-in functions to read the given
input and feed it to the program as per requirement.
When we say Output, it means to display some data on screen,
printer, or in any file. C programming provides a set of built-in
functions to output the data on the computer screen as well as to
save it in text or binary files.

The scanf() and printf() Functions
The int scanf(const char *format, ...) function reads the input from
the standard input stream stdin and scans that input according to
the formatprovided.
The int printf(const char *format, ...) function writes the output to
the standard output stream stdout and produces the output
according to the format provided.
The format can be a simple constant string, but you can specify %s,
%d, %c, %f, etc., to print or read strings, integer, character or float
respectively. There are many other formatting options available which
can be used based on requirements.
