Notes on C

1. Syntax of C Program
Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

printf("Hello World!");

return 0;

2. Basic Data Types in C


The data type specifies the size and type of information the variable will store.

Data Type Size Description

int 2 or 4 bytes Stores whole numbers, without decimals

float 4 bytes Stores fractional numbers, containing one or more decimals. Sufficient for storing 6-7
decimal digits

double 8 bytes Stores fractional numbers, containing one or more decimals. Sufficient for storing 15
decimal digits

char 1 byte Stores a single character/letter/number, or ASCII values

3. Operators in C
C divides the operators into the following groups:

 Arithmetic operators
 Relational operators
 Logical operators
 Assignment operators
 Increment and decrement operators
 Ternary or conditional operators
Arithmetic Operators
+, -, *, /(div), % (mod)

Unary Arithmetic operators + and –

The operator which works on single operand.

Eg +2, -3.5 etc

Binary Arithmetic operators +, -, *, /, %


The operator which works on two operands.

Eg 2+3, 5-2, 3*2, 6/2, 5%2

Div(/) stores quotient and mod (%) stores remainder

5/2=2 5%2=1

Relational Operators
<, >, <=, >=,!=,==

This results in Boolean(true/false)

4<1 false 4>2 true 4<=5 true 5<=5 true 5==5 true
5!=5 false

Logical Operators
Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values:

&& Logical and Returns true if both statements are true x < 5 && x < 10

|| Logical or Returns true if one of the statements is true x < 5 || x < 4

! Logical not Reverse the result, returns false if the result is true !(x < 5
&& x < 10)

Assignment Operators
=, +=, -=, *=,/=, %=
= x=5 x=5

+= x += 3 x=x+3

-= x -= 3 x=x-3

*= x *= 3 x=x*3

/= x /= 3 x=x/3

%= x %= 3 x=x%3

&= x &= 3 x=x&3

|= x |= 3 x=x|3

Increment and decrement Operators


++ Increment Increases the value of a variable by 1 ++x

-- Decrement Decreases the value of a variable by 1 --x

Ternary or conditional Operators


?:

Var=(condition)? True: False;

Max=(5>3)?5 : 3;

Ans max=5 as 5>3 is true

4. Decision Making Statements


In C, decision-making statements are technology structures enabling
programmers to make decisions based on specific conditions or criteria. In C,
there are three primary decision-making statements that you can use:
If-else statements

Switch statements

If-else statements:
The if-else statement is C's most fundamental decision-making statement. It enables us
to run one block of code if a given condition is met and another if it is not. An if-else
statement in C has the following basic syntax:

if (condition)

// code to execute if the condition is true

else

// code to execute if the condition is false

Switch statements:

The switch statement is a more complex decision-making statement that allows


you to evaluate a variable or expression against multiple possible values. The
general syntax of a switch statement in C is:

Syntax:

switch (expression)

{
case value1:

// code to execute if expression == value1

break;

case value2:

// code to execute if expression == value2

break;

...

default:

// code to execute if expression does not match any case
