Basic C Programs with Examples

The document contains a series of basic C programming examples, including programs to check if a number is positive or negative, even or odd, find the larger or smaller of two numbers, determine voting eligibility based on age, and perform basic arithmetic operations. Each program includes code, explanations, and test cases to demonstrate functionality. The examples serve as practical exercises for learning fundamental programming concepts in C.
