C Overview

This class will cover the basic syntax of C including

• Elements of a program
• Variables and arithmetic expressions
• Variable names
• Data types and sizes
• Constants

Because the program development process is so different from what you may be used to in CSC 151, we will also discuss how to compile and run C programs.

Finally, we also discuss how to print files from the command line via lpr.
