-In this chapter, we will walk through the C language, touching on some of the more important features of the language. After reading this chapter, you should be superficially familiar with the [syntax](/C_Development_Under_DragonFly_BSD-Volume_7_Glossary_and_Tables_for_all_Volumes) of the C language as well as the aesthetical organization of source code within programs.

-The first line in this program is a [comment](/C_Book_Glossary). In C, comments are declared in between the symbol combinations `/*` and `*/`; they are not compiled and are only useful to inform persons reading the source code of what is happening in the code. We'll talk more about them in our next example.

-Since C is such a small language, it's pretty unuseful by itself. DragonFly BSD provides an implementation of the [standard library](/C_Book_Glossary), which contains a number of useful functions. [Header Files](/C_Book_Glossary) contain definitions of functions, structures, and other interface portions of a program. In this case, we're telling the compiler to load the header file containing definitions for standard input and output routines. We use the file `stdio.h` because it provides the definition of the function `printf()`, which we use later in the program.

-The [modifier](/C_Book_Glossary) is an optional keyword which specifies (modifies) the function type. [type](/C_Book_Glossary) refers to the variable type that should be returned by the function. `Functionname` is any valid C language variable name. The list of parameters that should be passed to the function are given in a comma-delimited format in the `parameterlist`.

-The function printf is provided in the standard library, and is used to print formatted output to the standard output (usually a monitor, console, or terminal session). In this case, we're asking it to print the [string](/C_Book_Glossary), "Hello, World!\n" to the standard output. If you were to actually run this program, you would notice the following output:

-You may be wondering where this value is returned - after all, the `main` function signifies the beginning of the program, so why do we need to return something from it? There's nothing calling our program, is there? In fact, there is, but this is outside the scope of this section. This will be discussed later in the book, but if you absolutely can't wait to find out, please see the Glossary entry on the [return](/C_Book_Glossary) keyword.
