Study Notes
Data Types
- Primitive Data Types:
int
: whole numbers, e.g., 1, 2, 3float
: decimal numbers, e.g., 3.14, -0.5char
: single characters, e.g., 'a', 'B'double
: large decimal numbers, e.g., 3.14159void
: no value, used for functions that return no value
- Derived Data Types:
array
: collection of values of the same type, e.g.,int scores[5]
struct
: collection of values of different types, e.g.,struct person { int age; char name[20]; }
enum
: enumeration of named values, e.g.,enum color { red, green, blue }
- Qualifiers:
const
: constant value, cannot be changedvolatile
: value can be changed externally, e.g., by hardwarerestrict
: optimizer hint, pointer is the only access to the variable
Control Structures
- Conditional Statements:
if (condition) { code }
: execute code if condition is trueif (condition) { code } else { code }
: execute code if condition is true, else execute alternative codeswitch (expression) { case value: code; break; ... }
: execute code based on the value of the expression
- Loops:
while (condition) { code }
: execute code while condition is truefor (init; condition; increment) { code }
: execute code with initialization, condition, and incrementdo { code } while (condition)
: execute code at least once, then repeat while condition is true
- Jump Statements:
break
: exit the current loop or switch statementcontinue
: skip to the next iteration of the loopreturn
: exit the current function and return a valuegoto
: jump to a labeled statement
Functions
- Function Declaration:
return-type function-name (parameter-list) { code }
: declare a function with a return type and parameters
- Function Call:
function-name (argument-list)
: call a function with arguments
- Function Types:
- Library Functions: built-in functions, e.g.,
printf
,scanf
- User-Defined Functions: custom functions defined by the programmer
- Library Functions: built-in functions, e.g.,
- Function Arguments:
- Pass by Value: pass a copy of the argument to the function
- Pass by Reference: pass a pointer to the argument to the function
Pointers
- Pointer Declaration:
type* pointer-name
: declare a pointer to a type
- Pointer Operations:
&
: address-of operator, returns the memory address of a variable*
: dereference operator, returns the value at the memory addresspointer = &variable
: assign the address of a variable to a pointer*pointer = value
: assign a value to the variable pointed to by the pointer
- Pointer Arithmetic:
pointer++
: increment the pointer to point to the next elementpointer--
: decrement the pointer to point to the previous elementpointer + offset
: calculate the address of an element at an offset from the pointer
