Tokens in C language | What are the C Tokens ??

Tokens in C programming Language :

• C Tokens are smallest Individual unit of a c program. Tokens are Building blocks of C program.
• A C program is Collection of C Tokens.
• Token can be keyword,operator,separator,constant,Identifier..etc..
• We can’t split the Token because token is smallest block of C program. here is a example to understand the C Tokens.

Example Program 1 : To Understand the C Tokens :

We know that any program will execute without any errors. in the above program we have many tokens,
those are

• void is keyword and one token.
• main is Identifier and  it also one token.
• printf is function it is also one token.
• return, {, }… all are tokens. A C Program is Collection of Tokens.

Note : We can’t split Tokens.

Example 2 : To Understand C Tokens :

If you see above program, I try to divide the token. but i got compilation errors.. Because Token is the smallest Individual element in C program. we can’t divide it.

Note : We can’t split C tokens but we can have any number of spaces and tabs and newlines between two tokens.

Example 3 : To Understand the Tokens in C programming :

From above program it is clear we can have any number of spaces, tabs.. between two tokens. but we can not split a C token. because C Token is the Smallest individual Element in C program.
