Because I first learned Python and then I wanted to learn C, I found it very difficult to even have a basis for comparison between the 2. So here it is, a side by side syntax comparison between Python and C !

A few mentions before we start: in C, you first include libraries, but then everything is written in the function “main”: for example : int main(){your code here}. Indentation is fundamental in Python, while in C it only matters as a coding Style ( you can read it easier). C has extra syntax because it has Pointers and Memory allocation and de-allocation, whilst Python resolves these problems automatically. C has extra variable types as well ( char, int, float, long, double, etc)

for i in range(0,n):
    print('Hello, World!')

#include <stdio.h>
for (int i=0; i<n, i++){
    printf ( "Hello, World! \n" ) ;
}

while n < 5:
    print('Loop number: ', n)
    n = n + 1  

#include <stdio.h>
int n = 0;
while ( n < 5 ){
    printf("Loop number: %d\n", n);
    n++;
}

if n <= 5:
    print('n is less or equal to 5')
else:
    print('n is bigger than 5')

if ( n <= 5 ){
    printf ( "n is less or equal to 5\n" );
}else{
    printf ( "n is bigger than 5\n" );
}

if (txt1 == txt2):
    print('The texts are the same!')

if ( strcmp( txt1, txt2 ) == 0 ){
    printf ( "The texts are the same!\n" );
}

def sum(num1, num2):
    result = 0
    result = num1 + num2
    return result

int sum(int num1, int num2) {
    int result = 0; 
    result = num1 + num2; 
    return result; 
}
