Study Notes

Operators & Expressions

Operators perform mathematical or logical operations on data types known as operands.
Expressions consist of constants, variables, and operators, yielding numeric values upon evaluation.
C language supports various operators: arithmetic, logical, relational, etc.

Types of Operators

Arithmetic Operators: Perform basic calculations (e.g., addition, subtraction).
Increment & Decrement Operators: Unary operators modifying a single operand (e.g., ++, --).
Assignment Operators: Assign values to variables using = (e.g., +=, -=).
Relational Operators: Compare two operands returning true or false (e.g., <, >, >=).
Logical Operators: Combine multiple conditions (e.g., &&, ||).
Conditional Operators: Inline if-else operations (e.g., condition ? true : false).
Bitwise Operators: Perform operations on binary representations of integers.
Special Operators: Include unique functionalities like the comma operator that evaluates expressions from left to right.

Arithmetic Operators

Execute basic math functions requiring two operands (binary operators).
Common operations include:
- Addition (+): a + b
- Subtraction (-): a - b
- Multiplication (*): a * b
- Division (/): a / b
- Modulus (%): Remainder of division (e.g., a % b).

Increment & Decrement Operators

Operate on a single operand and can be used as:
- Postfix notation (a++): Increments after the current expression.
- Prefix notation (++a): Increments before the current expression.

Assignment Operators

Assign values using =, with lower precedence than other operators.
Variants include:
- =, +=, -=, *=, /=, %= for various operations.

Relational Operators

Return Boolean results (true or false).
Common operators:
- <: Less than
- >: Greater than
- >=: Greater than or equal to
- ==: Equal to

Comma Operator

Links related expressions, evaluated left to right.
Example: Value = (x = 2, y = 3, x + y); calculates in sequential order.

scanf() and getch() Functions

scanf(): Reads various data types from user input using specific format specifiers (e.g., %d for integers, %f for floats).
getch(): Accepts a character input without displaying it, used for hidden input functionality.

getchar() Function

Similar to getch(), but displays the character after input.
Helpful for scenarios requiring immediate feedback to the user.

Macros

Macros are defined using #define and serve as shorthand for code snippets.
They are type-neutral and inline, avoiding function call overhead.

Control Statements

Guide program flow based on conditions and logic.
Classified into three categories: Decision making, Looping, and Jumping statements.

Decision Making Statements

Used to execute different logic based on whether a condition is true or false.
Commonly implemented using if statements, including:
- Simple if: Executes if a condition is true.
- if-else: Provides an alternative execution path when condition is false.
- Nested if...else: Handles multiple related conditions.

Example of Decision Making

Control flow based on whether a number is positive or negative using if statements:
- If condition evaluates true, execute specific block; otherwise execute the alternate block.

These notes encapsulate the fundamental aspects of operators, expressions, and control statements in C++, offering a comprehensive guide on their usage and functionality.
