Every C program contains statements. These statements are constructed using words and these words are constructed using characters from C character set. C language character set contains the following set of characters...
- Letters (Alphabets)
- Numbers (Digits)
- special characters
- White Spaces (Blank Spaces)
Letters ( Alphabets )
C language supports all the alphabets from the English language. Lower and upper case letters together support 52 alphabets.
lower case letters - a to z
UPPER CASE LETTERS - A to Z
Numbers ( Digits )

C language supports a rich set of special characters that include symbols to perform mathematical operations, to check conditions, white spaces, backspaces, and other special characters.
special characters - ~ @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ - + = { } [ ] ; : ' " / ? . > , < \ | tab newline space NULL bell backspace verticaltab etc.,
