Abstract
Before we dig into C programming specifics, we’ll spend a few minutes discussing the basics of programming: Why write a computer program? How do computer programs work? We’ll answer these questions and look at all of the elements that come together to create a computer program, such as source code, a compiler, and the computer itself.
