There are four sections of a C program as shown in Program 5.2. The first section is the documentation section, which includes the purpose of the software, the authors, the date, and any copyright information. When the software involves external hardware we will add information about how the external hardware is connected. The second section is the preprocessor directives. We will use the preprocessor directive #include to connect this software with other modules. We use diamond braces to include system libraries, like the standard I/O, and we use quotes to link up with other user code within the project. In this case the uart module is software we wrote to perform I/O with the universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (uart). We will discuss modular programming in great detail in this class. The third section is global declarations section. This section will include global variables and function prototypes for functions defined in this module. The last section will be the functions themselves. In this class we will use the terms subroutine, procedure, function, and program interchangeably. Every software system in C has exactly one main program, which defines where it begins execution.
