Synonym for program-run.
It start with function - main()
A thread, in any language, is an independent execution path through a program.
In C, function execution ends with the return statement or when execution encounters the last brace, }, that matches the opening brace, {. If the function is typed, such as int myfunc(), then encountering the last brace is considered an error, because that sequence returns no value.
I don't believe it is.
There is no such thing in the C language, but it is true that operating systems have a component called loader which loads binary program-files (whose source may be written in C language) into the memory and prepares them to the execution.
The execution of the program starts with function main, wherever it is in the source.
example: int main (void) { puts ("That's all"); return 0; }
Structural language is a language in which a particular structure is defined. It is used to make execution and understanding easier. Ex : COBOL Structural language does not have function calls. Procedural language is a language in which function calls are allowed. Ex : C In this a particular procedure is followed every time. IMB.
Actually, it is:int main (void)orint main (int, char **)the point where the execution of the program begins
It's called 'main' by tradition; this feature lets the linker to know, where to start the execution.
I think it is 'execution of a C program'.
Parenthesis will affect the order of execution priority of statements. Expressions within parenthesis assume highest priority.
