Formatted input/output allows users to control how data is presented or read. Common functions are:

- `printf()`: Used for formatted output (e.g., `printf("Value: %d", num);`)

- `scanf()`: Used for formatted input (e.g., `scanf("%d", &num);`)

## 6.7 Decision Making

Decision-making constructs allow programs to choose between different paths of execution based on
conditions. Key constructs include:

- **if statement**: Executes a block of code if the condition is true.

- **if-else statement**: Executes one block if the condition is true, and another if it is false.

- **else-if ladder**: Multiple conditions checked in sequence.

- **switch statement**: Selects one of many code blocks to execute based on a variable's value.

## 6.8 Decision Making and Branching

### If Statement

- **Standard If**:

```c

if (condition) {

// code to execute if condition is true

```

- **If-Else**:
```c

if (condition) {

// code if true

} else {

// code if false

```

- **Else-If Ladder**:

```c

if (condition1) {

// code for condition1

} else if (condition2) {

// code for condition2

} else {

// code if none are true

```

- **Nested If-Else**:

```c

if (condition1) {

if (condition2) {

// code for condition2

```

### Switch Case Statement


```c

switch (variable) {

case value1:

// code for value1

break;

case value2:

// code for value2

break;

default:

// code if no case matches

```

### Break Statement

Used to exit from loops or switch statements prematurely.

### For Loop

A control structure for repeated execution:

```c

for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement) {

// code to execute

```

### Continue Statement

Used to skip the current iteration of a loop and continue with the next iteration.

### 7. ARRAYS AND STRINGS

#### 7.1 Arrays Declaration and Initialization

**One-Dimensional Arrays:**

A one-dimensional array is a linear collection of elements of the same type.

**Declaration:**

```c

data_type array_name[size];

```

**Initialization:**

```c

data_type array_name[size] = {value1, value2, value3, ...};

```

**Example:**

```c

int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

```
**Accessing Elements:**

You can access array elements using the index, which starts at .

```c

int firstNumber = numbers[]; // First element

```

---

**Two-Dimensional Arrays:**

A two-dimensional array can be thought of as an array of arrays.

**Declaration:**

```c

data_type array_name[size1][size2];

```

**Initialization:**

```c

data_type array_name[size1][size2] = {

{value11, value12, ...},

{value21, value22, ...},

...

};

```

**Example:**

```c

int matrix[3][3] = {
{1, 2, 3},

{4, 5, 6},

{7, 8, 9}

};

```

**Accessing Elements:**

Access elements using two indices.

```c

int element = matrix[1][2]; // Accesses the element at row 1, column 2 (which is 6)

```

---

**Character Arrays:**

Character arrays are used to store strings.

**Declaration:**

```c

char array_name[size];

```

**Initialization:**

```c

char array_name[] = "string";

```

**Example:**

```c
char greeting[6] = "Hello";

```

---

#### 7.2 Declaration and Initialization of String Variables

In C, strings are essentially character arrays that are null-terminated.

**Declaration:**

```c

char str[size];

```

**Initialization:**

```c

char str[] = "Hello, World!";

```

**Example:**

```c

char name[20] = "John Doe";

```

### String Handling Functions from Standard Library

To work with strings, C provides several standard library functions that can be included with `<string.h>`.

1. **`strlen()`**: Returns the length of the string (excluding the null terminator).
```c

#include <string.h>

char str[] = "Hello";

int length = strlen(str); // length = 5

```

2. **`strcpy()`**: Copies one string into another.

```c

char source[] = "Hello";

char destination[20];

strcpy(destination, source); // destination now contains "Hello"

```

3. **`strcat()`**: Concatenates (appends) one string to the end of another.

```c

char str1[20] = "Hello";

char str2[] = " World";

strcat(str1, str2); // str1 now contains "Hello World"

```

### Summary

- **Arrays** can be one-dimensional or two-dimensional and are accessed using indices.

- **Character arrays** are used for strings, which are null-terminated.

- Standard string handling functions (`strlen`, `strcpy`, `strcat`) from `<string.h>` allow for efficient string
manipulation.
Make sure to include the necessary headers when using these functions and be cautious with buffer
sizes to avoid overflow errors.

### 8.1 Functions

**Need for Functions:**

Functions enhance **modularity** by breaking complex problems into smaller parts, promote
**reusability** across programs, and improve **maintainability** through simpler updates and
debugging.

---

**Scope and Lifetime of Variables:**

- **Scope:** Determines where a variable can be accessed (local vs. global).

- **Lifetime:** Refers to how long a variable exists in memory (local lasts during function execution;
global lasts for the entire program).

---

**Defining Functions:**

Functions are created with a specified return type, a name, and parameters:
```c

return_type function_name(parameter_list) {

// body

```

---

**Function Call Types:**

- **Call by Value:** Passes a copy of the variable; original remains unchanged.

- **Call by Reference:** Passes the variable's address; original can be modified.

---

**Return Values:**

Functions return a value using the `return` statement.

---

**Storage Classes:**

Define variable visibility and lifespan:

- **Automatic (`auto`)**: Local scope.

- **Static (`static`)**: Retains value between calls.

- **Register (`register`)**: Suggests fast access storage.

- **External (`extern`)**: Refers to a variable declared in another file.

---

**Categories of Functions:**
1. **No Argument, No Return Value**

2. **No Argument, With Return Value**

3. **With Argument, With Return Value**

---

**Recursion:**

A technique where a function calls itself, requiring a base case to prevent infinite loops.

---

### 8.2 Structures

**Defining Structures:**

Structures allow grouping of different data types under a single name:

```c

struct structure_name {

data_type member1;

data_type member2;

};

```

---

**Declaring and Accessing Structure Members:**

Members are accessed using the dot operator:

```c

struct Person {

char name[50];
int age;

};

struct Person person1;

person1.age = 30; // Accessing member

```

---

**Initialization of Structures:**

Structures can be initialized at declaration:

```c

struct Person person1 = {"Alice", 30};

```

---

**Arrays of Structures:**

Structures can be stored in arrays for managing multiple records:

```c

struct Person people[3] = {{"Alice", 30}, {"Bob", 25}, {"Charlie", 35}};

```

### 9. Pointers & File Handling

#### 9.1 Understanding Pointers

**Understanding Pointers:**

Pointers are variables that store memory addresses of other variables, allowing for dynamic memory
management and efficient data handling.

---

**Declaring Pointer Variables:**

Pointers are declared using the asterisk (*) symbol:

```c

int *ptr; // Pointer to an integer

```

---

**Initialization of Pointer Variables:**

Pointers can be initialized to the address of a variable using the address-of operator (&):

```c

int var = 10;


int *ptr = &var; // ptr now holds the address of var

```

---

**Accessing the Address of a Variable:**

The address of a variable can be accessed using the `&` operator:

```c

printf("%p", (void*)&var); // Prints the address of var

```

---

**Pointer Expressions:**

Pointer expressions involve arithmetic operations on pointers, such as addition or subtraction, typically
used to navigate through elements in an array.

---

**Pointer Arithmetic:**

Pointer arithmetic allows you to increment or decrement pointer values based on the data type size:

```c

ptr++; // Moves to the next integer location, increases by sizeof(int)

```

---

**Pointers and Arrays:**

Pointers and arrays are closely related; the name of an array acts as a pointer to its first element:
```c

int arr[5];

int *ptr = arr; // ptr points to the first element of arr

```

---

**Array of Pointers:**

You can create arrays that store multiple pointers:

```c

int *ptrArray[5]; // Array of 5 integer pointers

```

---

#### 9.2 File Handling

**File System Basics:**

Files are structured collections of data stored on a disk. File handling refers to reading from and writing
to these files.

---

**Opening and Closing Files:**

Files are opened using the `fopen()` function and closed using `fclose()`:

```c

FILE *file = fopen("filename.txt", "r"); // Opens file for reading

fclose(file); // Closes the file

```
---

**Reading and Writing in Files:**

Data can be read from and written to files using functions like `fscanf()`, `fprintf()`, `fgets()`, and `fputs()`:

```c

fprintf(file, "Hello, World!"); // Write to file

fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), file); // Read from file

```

---

**File Opening Modes:**

Files can be opened in various modes:

- `"r"`: Read mode

- `"w"`: Write mode (creates a new file or truncates existing)

- `"a"`: Append mode

- `"r+"`: Read and write mode

- `"b"`: Binary mode (e.g., `"rb"` for reading binary files)

---

**String I/O in Files:**

Strings can be handled using functions that read or write characters until a newline or null character is
encountered, simplifying text file manipulation:

```c

fputs("Hello, File!\n", file); // Write string to file

```
