Those braces and semicolons can make C look like random punctuation. Think of a recipe: name what you need, follow instructions, and get a result. A typical program begins in main. Declarations name the data you use, and instructions inside main work with it. You write source code; a compiler translates it, and the build process produces a runnable program. Here's the turn: punctuation is not the first thing to memorize. Follow the path from data, through instructions, to a result. Data has types: int means whole numbers, float means decimals, and char means one character. Variables hold values that can change; constants are intended to stay fixed. When it runs, scanf receives input using a matching format, and printf displays output. C becomes manageable when you see the path: data comes in, instructions process it, and a result comes out.
