Hello Script for C Language

C – the root of all modern language’s syntax. Here is the hello script for C. A ‘Hello Script‘ is a file that contains the most commonly used elements of a programming language so that it can be used as a cheat sheet when working with that language.

C is a general-purpose, block structured, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie. Although C was designed for implementing system software, it is also widely used for applications. It is widely used on a great many different software platforms and computer architectures, and several popular compilers exist.

Unfortunately, I am not an expert in C – I prefer dynamic languages over static ones. So if you find any problems in the script, please let me know in the comments.
