C Tokens

 Tokens in C is the most important element to be used in creating a program in C. We can define the token as the smallest individual element in C. For example, we cannot create a sentence without using words; similarly, we cannot create a program in C without using tokens in C.
Tokens are used to construct c programs and they are said to the basic building blocks of a c program.
