The document discusses basic elements of the C programming language including flow charts, algorithms, constants, variables, data types, and the structure of a C program. It provides definitions and examples of key concepts such as:
- Flow charts depict the sequence of instructions in an algorithm using standard symbols like rectangles, diamonds, and arrows.
- An algorithm is a precise set of instructions to solve a problem with inputs, unambiguous processing rules, basic instructions, and finite time and outputs.
- Constants in C include integers, characters, strings, and floating-point numbers. Variables are named values that can change.
- C has primary data types like int, char, float, and void, and derived types are built from the
