Character Sets

The document discusses different types of characters used in computer languages including numeric, alphabetic, and special characters. It also describes different types of operators such as mathematical, relational, and logical operators. Mathematical operators include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division symbols. Relational operators are used for comparisons like equal, less than, and greater than. Logical operations will be covered in more detail in higher classes.

INTRODUCTION

A character is one of set of symbols, letters of alphabet, number, punctuation marks, that can be
arranged in groups to represent data for processing. The alphabets of computer language are called its
character set

KINDS OF CHARACTER SETS


The following three kinds of character sets are used on computers for entering raw data

NUMERIC CHARACTER
They include all number from 0 to 9

ALPHABETIC CHARACTERS
They include all capital & small letters of English Alphabet (A-Z)

SPECIAL CHARACTER
They include all signs present on keyboard. The signs printed on upper portion of keys are printed with
help of SHIFT KEY. These keys with signs on them perfrom special operations. So they are called
Operators

KINDS OF OPERATORS
1. Mathematical operators (used for calculation purpose)
2. Relational operators (used for comparisons)
3. Logical operators (used for logical processing)
4. special operators (used for perfroming special operations)

MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS

NAME SYMBOL ACTION REACTION


Plus + Addition Adds the number
Minus - Subtraction Subtract the number
Brackets () Brackets Indicates to do first the ( ) like
(15*12)+8/6
Asterisk * Multiplication Multiples one number with other like
(8*7)
Backslash \ Integer Division Divides some number by other like 70\5
and gives results in whole numbers
Forward Slash / Division Divides one number by other like 8/5
and gives result up to decimal
Exponent ^ Exponention Raises power of any number like 7/3 is
equal to 7^3

RELATIONAL OPERATIONS

Name Symbol Action Reaction


Equal to = Assignment In it, we store some values in some name
like A=90, B=24, C=A
Less than < Comparison To compare two or more values like if A<B
Greater than > Comparison To compare two or more values like if A>B
Not equal to <>or >< Comparison To compare two or more values if both are
not equal to each other

LOGICAL OPERATIONS
Most commonly used logical operations are NOT, OR, AND etc. or different logical processing. We will
read in details about these operations in higher classes

SPECIAL OPERATIONS

Symbol Name Reaction


$ Dollar sign Used with alphanumeric variable
@ At (a rate of) Used for mathematical calculations
# Hash Used in high level programming
% Percentage For calculating percentage
: Colon Used to combine two instruction
; Semicolon Used for continuous printing
, Comma Print with more space
““ Quotes To make string
? Question mark Used in question
