(a) Each instruction in a C program is written
as a separate statement. Therefore a complete C program
would comprise of a
series of statements.
(b)
The statements in a program must appear in the same order in which we
wish them to be
executed; unless of course the logic of the problem demands a
deliberate ‘jump’ or transfer of
control to a statement, which is out of
sequence.
(c) Blank spaces may be inserted between two words to improve the readability of
the statement.
However, no blank spaces are allowed within a variable, constant
or keyword
(d) All statements are entered in small case
letters.
(e) C has no specific rules for the position at
which a statement is to be written. That’s why it is
often called a free-form
language.
(f) Every C statement must end with a ;. Thus ; acts as a statement
terminator.
