Note of C
1. \n is used to move the control onto the next line.
2. \t is used to give a horizontal tab i.e. continuous five spaces.
3. The different datatypes are int(integer values), float(decimal values)
and char(character values).
some important syntax rules, which you must remember
always while writing code in the C language.
1. A semicolon ; is used to mark the end of a statement and the
beginning of another statement in the C language.
2. C is a case-sensitive language so all C instructions must be
written in lower case letters. main is not the same as MAIN.

Data Types in C
Broadly, there are 5 different categories of data types in the C
language, they are:
Type Example
Basic character, integer, floating-point, double.
Derived Array, structure, union, etc.
Enumeration Enums
Bool type true or false
Type Example
void Empty value
C Data type Value Range
In the table below we have the range for different data types in the
C language.
