no you're not quit right about that. "C" has a builtin set of
'instructions' ( key words ). you use those to implement the logic of
the program, what is "included" by the header files is a few 'time
saveing' functions ( so you don't have to reinvent the wheel each time )
and the system specific functions that communicate with the outside world.
