    Study Notes

    Character Set in 'C' Language

    • The 'C' language character set includes letters (both uppercase and lowercase), digits, and special characters (like punctuation and whitespace).

    Definition of an Algorithm

    • An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or formula for solving a problem or completing a task, presented in a logical order.

    Purpose of the 'break' Statement

    • The 'break' statement in 'C' programming is used to exit from loops (for, while, do-while) or switch statements, providing a mechanism to alter the flow of execution.

    Call by Value vs. Call by Reference

    • Call by value passes a copy of the variable's value to functions, preventing modifications to the original variable.
    • Call by reference passes the variable's actual memory address, allowing functions to modify the original variable directly.

    Purpose of the 'printf()' Function

    • The 'printf()' function is utilized to output formatted text to the standard output, typically the console.

    Syntax for the 'printf()' Function

    • The correct syntax to print an integer variable 'num' is: printf("%d", num);

    Declaring a Recursive Function

    • A recursive function named 'factorial' can be declared as:
    int factorial(int n);
    

    Additional Facts about the 'break' Statement

    • The 'break' statement can also be used to terminate the execution of a nested loop, affecting only the innermost loop.

    Purpose of the 'do-while' Loop

    • The 'do-while' loop guarantees that the block of code will execute at least once, as the condition is evaluated after the loop body.

    Syntax for Passing an Array by Reference

    • To pass an array 'arr' to a function 'modifyArray' by reference, the syntax is:
    void modifyArray(int arr[]);
