Noise pollution is a significant environmental issue, particularly in industrial settings. The constant hum of machinery, the clanging of metal, and the roar of engines contribute to a cacophony that can have serious health implications for workers and nearby residents. Addressing noise pollution in industries is not only a matter of regulatory compliance but also a crucial step in ensuring the well-being of employees and the community. Understanding Noise Pollution in Industries Industrial noise pollution stems from various sources such as heavy machinery, generators, compressors, and transportation vehicles. Prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can lead to hearing loss, stress, sleep disturbances, and cardiovascular problems. Beyond health impacts, noise pollution can also reduce productivity, increase error rates, and contribute to workplace accidents. Regulatory Framework Many countries have established regulations and standards to limit industrial noise. Organizations like t
IDENTIFIERS AND KEYWORDS
Every word in a C program is either a keyword or an identifier.
Identifiers
Identifiers are normally names given to program elements such as variables,
arrays, and functions. They are grouped by using a sequence of letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numerals, and underscores.
Following are the rules for creating identifier names:
* Identifiers cannot adds any special characters or punctuation marks
(like #, $, ^, ?, ., etc.) except the underscore “_”.
* There cannot be two successive underscores.
* Keywords cannot be used as identifiers.
* The case of alphabetic characters that make the identifier name is significant. For example, ‘FIRST’ is different from ‘First’ and ‘first’.
* Identifiers must start with an underscope or a letter. However, use of underscore as the first character must be ignored because several complier-defined identifiers in the standard C library have underscore as their first character. So, inadvertently copied names may cause definition incampatibility .
* Identifiers can be of any reasonable length. They should not has more than 31 characters. (They can actually be longer than 31, but the compiler looks at only the first 31 characters of the name.)
Keywords
Like every computer language, C has a set of reserved words they are known as keywords that cannot be used as an identifier. All keywords are normally a series of characters that have a fixed meaning. By compact, all keywords must be written in lower case letters.
