Study Notes

C Programming Basics

A C source file has a .c extension.

Constants and Operators

The const keyword is used to define a constant in C.
The / operator performs integer division, so the expression 5 / 2 evaluates to 2.
The && operator is a logical AND operator, which returns 1 if both conditions are true, and 0 otherwise.

Control Statements

The break statement is used to exit a loop or switch statement.
The static keyword has multiple purposes, including declaring static variables and functions, and specifying that a variable is initialized only once.

Operators and Functions

The sizeof operator returns the size of a variable or data type in bytes.

Loops and Conditional Statements

A for loop can be used with or without initialization and increment/decrement statements.
The switch statement provides an alternative to using long chains of if-else statements.
