Explanation

Explain with AI

Copy the prompt below and paste it into any AI assistant.

    You are explaining a C programming code to a beginner.

    STRICT RULES:

    - Only use the given code. Do NOT assume anything not present.

    - Do NOT add extra examples.

    - Keep explanation clear and short.

    - If something is unclear, say "Not clear from code".

    - Follow the exact format below. Do NOT change headings.

    FORMAT:

    [START]
