# C Syntax — C Programming Fundamentals: Pointers, Memory and Files

> 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.

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