Error: expected '=', ',', ',' 'asm' or ' _attribute_' before '<' token in C

A very common error in C programming language, it occurs when # is not used before the include.

As we know that #include is a preprocessor directive and it is used to include a header file's code to the program. But, include is nothing without #, it is not valid and it cannot be used to include a header file in the program.
