getting start with C:
- C programmers write code in the C language, and a C compiler converts the C code into machine code.
- The Objective-C programming language is based on C, but it adds support for object-oriented programming.
Installing Apple's developer tools
The main application that you will need is called Xcode.
- Select Application from the OS X section, then choose Command Line Tool.

Ⅱ.How Programming Works
In a program, you create a new variable by declaring its type and name.
float weight;
Here is an overview of the commonly used types:
short, int, long, float, double, char, pointer, struct BOOL
- if/else:
In C, it was decided that 0 would represent false, and anything that is not zero would be considered true.
if(condition){ //Execute this code if the conditional evaluates to true }else{ //Execute this code if the conditional evaluates to false }
- Boolean variables
Too use BOOL in a C function, like main(), you would need to include in your program the file where this type is defined:
#include <objc/objc.h>
- challenge:
int i = 20;
int j = 10;
int k = (i > j) ? 10 : 5;
===>
int i = 20; int j = 10; if (i>j) { int k = 10; }else{ int k = 5; }
