Combine text with a name.

C: Construct a greeting from a fixed prefix and a stored name.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
    const char *name = "Ada";
    printf("Welcome, %s\n", name);
    return 0;
}

Expected output EXAMPLE

Welcome, Ada

Details

Save as snippet.c; compile with gcc -std=c17 -Wall -Wextra snippet.c -lm -o snippet, then run ./snippet.

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
