Study Notes
Decision Making: Relational Operators
- In C, the decision-making process is controlled by the
if
structure, which allows a program to make a decision based on a condition's truth or falsity. - The condition in an
if
structure is formed using relational operators. - Relational operators have the same level of precedence and associate left to right.
- Equality operators (== and !=) have a lower level of precedence than others and associate left to right.
- There is a subtle difference between
==
and=
:=
is used for assignment, and==
is used for comparison.
Relational Operators
- Examples of relational operators include
==
,!=
,<
,>
,<=
,>=
. - Relational operators are used to compare values and make decisions in a program.
Logical Operators
- Logical operators include
&&
(Logical AND),||
(Logical OR), and!
(Logical NOT). - These operators are used to test more than one condition and make decisions.
- Logical operators can be used to create complex conditions.
Operator Precedence
- Multiplication, division, and modulus operations are evaluated first in an expression.
- If an expression contains several
*
,/
, or%
operations, evaluations proceed from left to right. - Addition and subtraction are evaluated last in an expression.
- If an expression contains several
+
or-
operations, evaluations proceed from left to right.
Assignment Operators
- The assignment operator
=
is used to assign a value to a variable. - Shorthand assignment operators, such as
+=
,-=
,*=
, etc., can be used to simplify assignment statements.
Increment and Decrement Operators
- C provides the unary increment operator
++
and unary decrement operator--
. - The increment operator can be used to increment a variable by 1.
- The decrement operator can be used to decrement a variable by 1.
- The increment and decrement operators can be used as prefix or postfix operators.
- The meaning of the increment and decrement operators differs based on their placement before or after the variable.
Examples
- The
if
structure can be used to compare values and make decisions in a program. - Logical operators can be used to create complex conditions in a program.
- Increment and decrement operators can be used to simplify increment and decrement operations.
