    Hello World Structure in C

    • The #include <stdio.h> directive imports the standard input-output library that allows the use of functions like printf.
    • Execution of a C program starts from the int main() function, which serves as the entry point for the program.
    • The printf("Hello, World!\n"); function call outputs the string "Hello, World!" to the console. The \n character creates a line break, moving the cursor to the next line.
    • Including return 0; at the end of the main function signifies a successful termination of the program. The value 0 is returned to the operating system as a status code.
