Building a C program one piece at a time

This chapter provides a quick and dirty introduction to a single C language program. The chapter doesn't even explain why things are necessary because, honestly, at this point in the game you're probably more interested in accomplishing something than truly figuring out why something works. Don't worry: That comes later. For now, this chapter offers a small taste of the feast to come.

In the beginning was Charles Babbage and his Analytical Engine, a machine he built in 1822 that could be programmed to carry out different computations. Move forward more than 100 years, where the U.S. government in 1942 used concepts from Babbage's engine to create the ENIAC, the first modern computer.
To program Babbage's computer, you had to literally replace stacks of gears. To make the ENIAC carry out different tasks, it had to be rewired by hand.
By the early 1950s, computer programming had evolved from rewiring to entering
