First C Programs (The Chicken and The Egg)

  • A C program is essentially a collection of one or more functions.
  • There must be a function named main; it must be in all lowercase.
  • main is the program's starting point; it can call other functions by name
  • There must be exactly one function named main in every program.
The general form of a C program looks like this: (The parts in bold are required) Therefore, the simplest C program you can write: Technically, you should have a return statement: It looks simple because it is. It does nothing of interest. But, nevertheless, it produces a 'functional' program. This simple program demonstrates many characteristics of a C program.

Students that think that int main(void) can be changed to int main() are required to read this, as I'm not going to spend any more time on it. (Yes, I know that some good textbooks interchanges them, but you shouldn't.)

A second program in C that actually does something: Output:

Adding line numbers for clarity. They are not (and cannot be) present in the actual code. Each non-blank line above has significant meaning to the C compiler. Look at stdio.h to see what the pre-processor adds.

Contrasting Languages at 3 Levels

Let's say we have 4 variables (just like in algebra), where a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4. We want to set a fifth one, e, to ab(c + d). We can rewrite the multiplication explicitly as
a ⋅ b ⋅ (c + d)
This will result in e having the value 14.

Now, which language would you rather work with?

Simple calculation:

Simplified view at runtime showing 3 variables in memory, a CPU with 4 registers and an Arithmetic-Logic Unit: Assembly code (generated by the GNU C compiler, comments added):

Hopefully, you can see why people prefer to program in C rather than assembly. The end result is the same, but the amount of effort required from the C programmer is significantly less.

Putting It All Together

Step 1: Edit

Create a text file for this C code named simple.c. The size of this file is about 120 bytes (although this depends on the operating system and the type of whitespace used). You can use any text editor like, such as Notepad++ (Windows only) or Geany (Windows, OS X, Linux, and others).

Step 2: Compile (with Preprocess)

The source code (text) is compiled into object or machine code (binary) and saved in a file named simple.o. The size of this file will probably be between 500 and 2000 bytes (depends on the compiler, version, and options used). Using

Step 3: Link

The object file is linked (combined) with other object code and saved in a file named simple.exe. (The .exe is a Windows requirement as other operating systems don't require it.) The size of this file is going to be tens of thousands of bytes. (Again, depends on the compiler.)

Step 3: Execute

Run the executable file by simply typing the name of the executable file (providing the .exe extension when executing it is optional under Windows):
Of course, nothing appears to happen. The program did run and it did perform the calculations. There just aren't any instructions in the program that display anything for you to see.

We can modify it to use the printf (print formatted) function and display the value of e after the calculations: The C program above is a complete program that, when executed, will print the value 14 on the screen.

Step-by-Step

The commands above were really shortcuts for the entire process. Let's look at each step individually to gain a clearer understanding of what is actually taking place. Remember that the C programming language (and all of its associated tools) are case sensitive. 99% of the time, everything should be in lowercase. Exceptions will be noted below.

Step 1 - Creating/Editing the source file (.c):

From the command line, invoke a text editor (e.g. notepad++) and create/edit the source file: Just type the code above (or copy/paste) and save the file.

Step 2 - Preprocessing the source file (.i):

The output file (simple.i) contains the original source code, plus a lot of code from the stdio.h header file. The -o option tells cpp what to name the output file. The output file, simple.i must follow immediately after the -o option. (The file extension After.i is the conventional way to name a preprocessed file.)

Note: The cpp command above stands for Cpre-processor, NOT Cplus plus.

Step 3 - Compiling to an assembly file (.s):

Use the GNU C compiler,
gcc, to translate the preprocessed file into assembly code. Notes:
  • The -fpreprocessed option tells gcc not to run the preprocessor because the file has already been preprocessed.
  • The -S option (that's an uppercase 'S') tells gcc to only produce an assembly file instead of creating an object file.
  • The -o option tells gcc what to name the output file. The output file, simple.s must follow immediately after this option. (The file extension .s is the conventional way to name an assembly file.)

Step 4 - Assembling into an object file (.o):

Use the GNU assembler (as) to assemble/convert the assembly file to object code. The -o option tells the assembler, as, to name the object file simple.o (The file extension .o is the conventional way to name an object file.) To view the disassembled code, use either of these:

Step 5 - Linking to an executable file (.exe):

Use the GNU linker, ld (that's a lowercase 'L'), to link the object file with code from the standard libraries and create an executable named simple.exe

Do NOT copy and paste the text below. The command that you type must be on a single line and the text below is broken into multiple lines. This link here: linker command on one line, has the command as one long line. Copy that text instead.

Notes:
  • The exact command will depend on the version and location of the GCC C compiler on your computer. (This example is using version 8.1.0 of the compiler which is installed in C:mingw64.)
  • This command is Windows-specific and is different on other operating systems.
  • You will rarely, if ever, need to type this cryptic line manually. (I've only done it once in my long career, and it was for this example!)
  • The output shown from simple.c (simple.isimple.s, simple.o, and simple.exe) was generated under Linux using version 7.1.0 of the GCC C compiler. The output generated from Mac OS X and Windows would not be exactly the same, but would be similar.
  • You can clearly see why some files are called text files and others are called binary files.

Step 6 - Executing the program:

At the command prompt you just need to type the name of the executable file. On Windows type: or On Mac or Linux type (or if you're using the Windows Power Shell): Usually, you don't need to supply the .exe file extension. The linker will add that automatically (on Windows) and leave it off for Mac and Linux. By omitting the extension: the linker will 'do the right thing' based on the operating system.

Conclusion

The above step-by-step tutorial was just to show you what's going on behind-the-scenes. Normally for a simple project (meaning 99% of the time) you will simply do this: and that will perform all of the steps above.

Additional Compile Options

To enable the compiler to perform a more thorough check of your source code, use the -Wallcommand line option like so: Now, if the compiler detects any potential problems or misuse of the C language, it will alert you with a warning message. For example, if I add the variable f like this: I get this warning from the compiler: or, if I add something like this: I get this warning from the compiler:

Compile and Link in One Step

If you want to perform both compile and link steps with one command, don't provide the -c option. This will compile and then link the program: However, if the compile step fails for any reason, the link step is skipped.

Other Useful Options

If you want to generate the assembly output as above, use -S option: This will produce a text file called Aftersimple.s which you can view with any text editor.

If you want to generate the preprocessor output directly from gcc, use -E option:

This will produce a ton of information to the screen. To capture the output so you can view it more easily, redirect the output to a file: The causes the output to be written to a file (named simple.out) instead of to the screen. This file is a text file that you can view with any text editor. Note:

Modern compilers have two primary goals:
1. To verify that your code is valid C code
2. To convert/translate the C (text) code into machine (binary) code

The compiler will verify that this code is valid, legal C code, although it is incorrect: The expected output is: but the actual output is As far as the compiler is concerned, there is nothing wrong with the code. But, the use of the data is incorrect. That's because the compiler sees this: when it should see this: It's kind of like doing this: The compiler can't check that you are subtracting when you meant to be adding.

So, the moral of the story is:

Just because your code compiles, links, (and even runs), doesn't mean it is correct.

Another Example

This example will show constructs such as identifiers, literal constants, defines, expressions, and several others.

Without line numbers (to copy and paste): The preprocessed file named marathon.i (generated by: gcc -E marathon.c -o marathon.i)

The assembly file named marathon.s (generated by: gcc -S marathon.c -o marathon.s)

The code above uses a few arithmetic operators. Many operators correspond with the ones you've seen in algebra. Here are a few binary operators:

Computer Data Storage (Refresher)

This section is just a short refresher on the binary, decimal, and hexadecimal number systems.
  • Computers represent information as patterns of bits (0's and 1's), known as base 2; e.g. 1011101000010101000111100011
  • People use base 10; doesn't translate well into base 2
  • Hexadecimal (base 16) works well with binary; computer programmers often work in base 16
  • Group the bits into sets of 4 and translate into hexadecimal using the chart below
Relationship between hex and binary numbers:
000004010081000C1100

3001170111B1011F1111

The number above, 1011101000010101000111100011, translates into hex (BA151E3) and decimal (195,121,635) as:

Lexical Conventions

C programs are typically stored in one or more files on the disk. These files are given a rather fancy name:

After Azrael Mac Os Catalina

translation units. After the pre-processor has removed the directives and performed the appropriate action, the compiler starts its job. The first thing the compiler needs to do is to parse through all of the tokens in the files.

There are different classes of tokens (lexical elements). In no particular order they are:

  1. keywords
  2. identifiers
  3. constants
    • integers
    • characters
    • floating point
    • enumerations
    • string literals (NUL-terminated character arrays)
  4. operators (Lots!)
  5. punctuators and separators
The standard actually names these 6:
  1. keywords
  2. identifiers
  3. constants
  4. string literals
  5. operators
  6. punctuators
White space includes things like blank spaces, tab, newlines, etc. Comments are a form of whitespace since they are stripped out (by the preprocessor) and replaced by a single space.

We will spend the entire course studying these aspects of the C language.

Identifiers

  • Variables, constants, function names, and other elements of a C program are called identifiers; they are used to name (i.e. identify) things.
  • There are only two rules that must be followed:
    1. Identifiers may only contain letters (upper- or lower-case), digits (0-9), and underscores ( _ ).
    2. Identifiers must begin with a letter or underscore. (Not a digit)
  • There are certain words in C that have special meanings (keywords) and can't be used as identifiers. (e.g. int, float, const)
  • C is a case sensitive language; upper- and lower-case letters are considered to be different. (e.g. SUM, Sum, sum are all different identifiers)
  • Most compilers allow identifiers to be 31 characters or more in length. (You probably won't need more than that.)
  • Use meaningful names, you will be glad you did (and your grade in this course will reflect it!)
Some examples:
ValidInvalidInvalid Reason
Starts with a digit (Must start with a letter or underscore)
1. Doesn't start with a letter or underscore
2. $ is illegal character
$ is an illegal character
- is an illegal character (for an identifier)
Can't have spaces in identifier names
int is a keyword
Examples:
Good Identifier NamesBad Identifiier Names
int rate;
int time;
int distance;
rate = 60;
time = 20;
distance = rate * time;
 int x;
int y;
int z;
x = 60;
y = 20;
z = x * y;
#define PI 3.1416F
float radius = 5.25F;
float sphere_volume;
sphere_volume = 4.0F / 3.0F * PI * radius * radius * radius;
 #define A 3.1416F
float id1 = 5.25F;
float id2;
id2 = 4.0F / 3.0F * A * id1 * id1 *id1;
double base = 2.75;
double height = 4.8;
double area_of_triangle = 0.5 * base * height;
double table = 2.75;
double chair = 4.8;
double couch = 0.5 * table * chair;

Keywords

Keywords are identifiers that are reserved for the compiler. You can't use any of these as identifiers:
autoconstdoublefloatintshortstructunsigned
breakcontinueelseforlongsignedswitchvoid
casedefaultenumgotoregistersizeoftypedefvolatile
chardoexternifreturnstaticunionwhile
The keywords in red are not used in this course as they are somewhat more advanced. (The auto keyword is deprecated and shouldn't be used at all. The meaning of auto means something completely different in modern C++. There are also about 92 keywords in C++, which is an enormous language!)

Also, remember that C is case-sensitive so these keywords must be typed exactly as shown. int is not the same as Int or INT.

Constants

A literal value is a constant just as you type it in the code: Examples:
ConstantType
5int
3.14double
3.14Ffloat
'A'int
'hello'string
Notes:
  • The literal character 'A' is of type int and not char. ('A' is just an alias for the value 65. ASCII chart near the bottom)
  • The string type is technically a constant character pointer which we will talk more about in the future.
  • The marathon.c program has 6 literal values. There are 4 integers, 1 double, and 1 string.

Algorithms

A large part of your programming career will deal with algorithms.
  • One of the most fundamental concepts in computer programming
  • A set a steps that defines how a task is accomplished; a recipe
  • A computer program represents an algorithm
  • Programs = software
  • Algorithms have been known and studied for centuries; they were not invented by computer scientists
  • Algorithms do not require computers, although computers require algorithms
  • There are many famous algorithms; Euclid's Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) is a simple one (e.g. the GCD of 27 and 12 is 3, the GCD of 68 and 12 is 4)

Euclid's algorithm in English (with some algebra thrown in):

Notice that in Step 3 there are two different possibilities. This is typically how algorithms work. There usually needs to be some terminating condition, otherwise the algorithm (program) runs forever.

How about the numbers 101 and 27?

Here is how we might write the algorithm in pseudo-code:

  1. Assign larger value to M
  2. Assign smaller value to N
  3. Divide M by N and assign remainder to R
  4. While remainder, R, is not 0
    1. Assign N to M
    2. Assign R to N
    3. Divide M by N and assign remainder to R
  5. End While
  6. The algorithm has terminated and the GCD is N
Coding this algorithm in an assembler language might look like the code below. This version is using memory locations that are named M and N

After Azrael Mac Os X

for easier understanding. This second version doesn't use any memory locations (like M and N above). All values are stored directly in the registers on the CPU.
