Study Notes

A program is a set of instructions that a computer can execute to perform a specific task or set of tasks.

System programs are a type of program that manages and controls computer hardware components and provides a platform for running application software.
Examples of system programs include operating systems, device drivers, and utility programs.

The program development life cycle is the process of designing, writing, testing, and maintaining a program.
It involves several stages, including planning, coding, testing, debugging, and deployment.

There are two basic types of computer programs: system programs and application programs.
System programs manage and control computer hardware components and provide a platform for running application software.
Application programs perform specific tasks or provide services to users.

The purpose of a system program is to manage and control computer hardware components and provide a platform for running application software.

Library functions are pre-written functions that are provided by the C programming language and can be used by programmers to perform specific tasks.
User-defined functions are created by programmers to perform specific tasks and are not part of the C programming language.
When the compiler encounters a function call, it checks if the function is defined and matches the function call.
A function with no arguments and no return value is a void function.
A self-contained block of program statements that performs a particular task is a function.
A function that can take arguments and returns a value is a non-void function.
