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
).
- Addition (
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.
- Postfix notation (
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.
