How to create a Header File in C Language or In C How to make User Defined Header Files

How to create a Header File in C Language or In C How to make User Defined Header Files :-

First we have to install or copy Turbo C++ in our computer. If we copy the TC folder, which should be copied into the same Drive as the Source Computer Drive, otherwise an Error will occur see more.

Any way let us guess the C Program in "C:\TC\BIN\TC.EXE"

then usually the Header files residing in "C:\TC\INCLUDE\" directory.

our working directory is "C:\TC\BIN\"

Let us try How to create a "Hello World!" Program with clrscr() SDF :-

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main()
{
clrscr();
printf("Hello World!");
}

in the above program, we used clrscr() as a System Defined Function, because it is defined in conio.h and it is included.

Let us try How to create a "Hello World!" Program with clrscr() as UDF and User Defined Header File :-

Step 1:
fist let us make a header file named "my_header_file.h" and its contents given below

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void clrscr(void)
{
int i;
gotoxy(1,1);
for(i=1;i<=25;i++)
{
printf("\n");
}
gotoxy(1,1);
}

save as in the location mentioned above "C:\TC\INCLUDE\my_header_file.h"

header file creation over

Step 2:

now create our C file named "my_c_file.c"

#include<stdio.h>
#include<my_header_file.h>
main()
{
clrscr();
printf("Hello World!");
}

save as in the location mentioned above "C:\TC\BIN\my_c_file.c"

in the above program, we used clrscr() as a User Defined Function, it is defined in the header file my_header_file.h and it is included instead of conio.h.

Now let us see the real thing. just Run "C:\TC\BIN\my_c_file.c"
output will be:

Hello World!

Note:

1) if we save our header in "C:\TC\INCLUDE\" it should be included as #include<my_header_file.h>

2) if we save our header in "C:\TC\BIN\" it should be included as #include"my_header_file.h"

C Code Shortening Techniques or My Logic for Reduced Source Code Writing in C Program Language

C Code Shortening Techniques or My Logic for Reduced Source Code Writing Tips and Tricks in C Program Language :- Role of Semi Colon(;) and Curly Braces({ }) in C Program Perhaps, you might have heard that the for() loop should not end with ";" like if(). But, in fact the ";" is using in C language as a Statement Terminator, so, if we want to terminate for() loop, then we should use ";" at the end of for() loop. [ Header files are to be included as usual, it is not written in the examples ] Question : write a C program to print 1 to 10 numbers using for() loop ? Example 1 : void main() { int i; for ( i = 1 ; i <= 10 ; i++ ) { printf("%d\n",i); } } /* above program, for() loop has one statement outside, so we do not use ";" at the end, because if we put ";" the for() will not take the continuing statement as its own. */ Example 2 : void main() { int i; for ( i = 1 ; i <= 10 ; printf( "%d \n" , i ...

How to create User Defined Functions in C, see example Perfect_Number() function used as UDF in C Program

How to create User Defined Functions in C, see example Perfect_Number() function used as UDF in C Program :- Example : This is a program to find Perfect Numbers upto a limit using User Defined Function(UDF) in C Program Language :- #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int Perfect_Number(int); /* UDF function prototype declaration : int argument and int returns */ main() { int lmt,num; clrscr(); printf("Enter a Limit :"); scanf("%d",&lmt); for(num=5 ; num<=lmt ; num++) { /* function calls here with Actual Parameter num and returns either 1 or 0 and checks */ if(Perfect_Number(num)==1) { printf("\n%d",num); } } getch(); } /* Either the function should be defined out side the main() or it should be in one of the header files included. function definition with a Formal Parameter as n */ int Perfect_Number(int n) { int a,sm; sm=0; for(a=1 ; a<n ; a++) { if(n%a==0) { sm=sm+a; } } if(sm==n) return 1; else ...

Hello World C Program with full explanation.

Hello World C Program with Explanation are given below :- #include<stdio.h> #include <conio.h> void main() { clrscr(); printf("Hello World!"); getch(); } Explanations: - printf() function is defined in the header file stdio.h, so it must be included at top of the program. Like clrscr() and getch() functions are defined in conio.h. To include a Header file, the syntax is #include at the top of the program. C Program to be written in main() function. Then void main() means the main() function returns nothing and it will study later. We use ";" as a statement terminator so clrscr(),printf() and getch() are used ";" but "void main()" doesn't have ";" because it is not terminated there, it follows "{" and "}" . clrscr() function uses for to clear the screen. printf() for print something. getch() uses for to get a character from keyboard and it is used here as a wait command. Save file name as " an...
