Lesson 4 / 38

C Syntax

Learn the basic rules of C syntax: semicolons, braces, case sensitivity and comments.

Statements & blocks

Every statement ends with a semicolon ;. Blocks are wrapped in braces { }. Indentation is for humans — the compiler ignores it.

Comments & case

C is case-sensitive: count and Count differ.

// single-line comment
/* multi-line
   comment */
int count = 0;   // not the same as Count
