Extended work with computers can lead to muscular fatigue and discomfort, usually in the back, arms, shoulders and neck. As well, if the computer is used for prolonged periods in awkward postures, there is a risk of musculoskeletal injury (MSI). This risk increases as the intensity of computer work increases. Frequently, the source of muscular fatigue and discomfort is the operator's posture while working at the terminal, and this posture is due in turn to the layout of the computer workstation and the furniture provided. The specific tasks and the intensity of the work are also factors. Computer operators may experience visual as well as muscular fatigue and discomfort. Symptoms include eyestrain, burning eyes, blurred vision and headaches. The layout of the computer workstation can increase the visual demands on operators, as can lighting levels and glare.

I have shown example of entering and displaying multiplication table of certain number upto 10 times. I used Gedit as a Text Editor to write C codes.   Saving the file follows the universal rule as in any other programe, file-name should follow “.c” extension. I wrote following code and saved as mul.c in Desktop folder. Open Terminal. Go to Desktop by typing “cd Desktop” (case sensitive) Then type “/usr/bin/gcc mul.c -o mul” to compile, Here, mul.c is the file name saved in desktop using gpedit. And mul is the name of the executable file created after compile is over. Error free compiling process creates a new line and blinking cursor comes at the end. It also crea...
