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

Answer / shuvransu_banerjee

<stdio.h> is a header file which available in include
directory of the system. When we write #include<stdio.h>
preprocessor search for it in include directory directly
and not out of this directory. But when we write "stdio.h"
precessor start searching for this header file from current
directory and then in parent directories. So if we write
our own stdio.h in the current directory and include in
program as #include"stdio.h" then our header will be
included instead of system header.
