Overview

Programs • Useful for the theatre.

In this chapter I’ve prepared a quick overview of the basic features of C. There are very few features in C, and the syntax is relatively simple. But this doesn’t mean it is easy. All the depth hides below the surface. Because of this we’re going to cover the features and syntax fairly quickly now, and see them in greater depth as we continue.

The goal of this chapter is to get everyone on the same page. People totally new to C should therefore take some time over it, while those with some existing experience may find it easier to skim and return to later as required.
