what is the difference between #include<stdio.h> and #include"stdio.h"

#include "stdio.h" when a programm is executed the compiler will search for a particular stdio.h in the current working directory where as when i give it as <stdio.h> which will by default search all the dirs for that file by defult the search for "stdio.h" scope is limited to that particular dir only

[ssehgal2010]

#include "stdio.h"
The compiler will search for a particular stdio.h in the current working directory only

where as <stdio.h> the complier looks into default dir. which is in most cases /include/lib or you can define this directory by your own.

#include "stdio.h"

seraches for stdio.h in the current directory (the directory containing the file including stdio.h) and then in the directories in the current include path (norrmally defined for the compiler using switches on the command line or the INCLUDE environment variable)

#include <stdio.h>
only seraches for stdio.h in the directories in the current include path (i.e. it does not search the current directory.
