C Programs

A C program can vary from 3 lines to millions of lines and it should be written into one or more 

text files with extension ".c" for example hello.c. You can use "vi""vim" or any other text editor 
to write your C program into a file.

This tutorial assumes that you know how to edit a text file and how to write source code inside a program file.

THATS IT FOR THIS TIME...
