Chapter 2 Overview of C

This document contains a true/false quiz and multiple choice questions about the C programming language. Some key points: - C was developed by Dennis Ritchie. - A data type is a set of values and operations on those values. - Text enclosed in /* and */ comments in a C program and is ignored by the C compiler. - A C compiler can detect syntax errors, run-time errors, and arithmetic faults. - An interactive program uses prompting messages to direct user input.
