Study Notes
Operators in C Language
- An operator is a symbol used to perform operations on variables and values.
- Types of operators include:
- Arithmetic Operators
- Relational Operators
- Shift Operators
- Logical Operators
- Bitwise Operators
- Ternary or Conditional Operators
- Assignment Operators
- Miscellaneous Operators
Operator Precedence and Associativity
- Operator precedence determines the order of evaluation in expressions.
- Associativity defines the direction of evaluation (left to right or right to left).
- Example: In
int value = 10 + 20 * 2;
,*
is evaluated before+
, resulting in 50.
Arithmetic Operators
- Used for performing mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus.
- Syntax for addition:
C = A + B
. - Precedence and associativity of arithmetic operators:
- Postfix:
() [] -> . ++ --
(Left to right) - Unary:
+ - ! ~ ++ -- (type) * & sizeof
(Right to left) - Multiplicative:
* / %
(Left to right) - Additive:
+ -
(Left to right)
- Postfix:
Logical Operators
- Logical operators evaluate Boolean expressions and include:
- Logical AND (
&&
): true if both operands are true. - Logical OR (
||
): true if at least one operand is true. - Logical NOT (
!
): negates the truth value.
- Logical AND (
Assignment Operators
- Used to assign values to variables.
- Types include:
- Simple assignment (
=
), - Compound operators (
+=
,-=
,*=
,/=
,%=
).
- Simple assignment (
- Example of plus and assignment operator:
A += B
is equivalent toA = A + B
.
Increment and Decrement Operators
- Unary operators to increase or decrease the operand value by 1:
- Increment:
++A
(pre-increment),A++
(post-increment). - Decrement:
--A
(pre-decrement),A--
(post-decrement).
- Increment:
Conditional Operator
- A ternary operator denoted by
?:
used for conditional expressions. - Syntax:
condition ? expression1 : expression2;
- If condition is true, evaluate
expression1
; otherwise, evaluateexpression2
.
Bitwise Operators
- Manipulate data at the bit level. Types include:
- Bitwise AND (
&
), - Bitwise OR (
|
), - Bitwise XOR (
^
), - Right shift (
>>
), - One's complement (
~
).
- Bitwise AND (
Special Operators
- Include comma operator (
,
),sizeof
operator, pointer operators (&
and*
), and member selection operators (.
and->
). -
sizeof
operator determines the memory size of data types in C.
Arithmetic Expressions
- Contain only arithmetic operators and operands.
- Example expressions can consist of numerous combinations of valid operators and operands.
- Invalid expressions lack connecting operators between operands.
Evaluation of Arithmetic Expressions
- Evaluated based on operator precedence and associativity rules.
- Steps for evaluation:
- Determine operator binding.
- Convert expression to equivalent mathematical form if possible.
- Evaluate the expression based on operator binding.
Example Cases
- Example of conditional expression for voting eligibility based on age input.
- Evaluation examples using bitwise operators demonstrating their functionality and results.### Input and Output Operations
- Input refers to supplying data to a program, while output involves displaying or writing data, either to a screen or a file.
- The C programming language provides functions like
printf()
for output andscanf()
for input.
Reading and Writing Characters
-
getchar(): Reads a single character from input and stores it in a character variable.
- Usage:
char ch; ch = getchar();
- No parameters are required.
- Usage:
-
putchar(): Displays a single character on the console.
- Usage:
char ch = 'A'; putchar(ch);
- Equivalent to
printf("%c", ch);
- Usage:
Example of getchar and putchar
- Example code reads a character and displays it:
int c; printf("Enter a value: "); c = getchar(); printf("\nYou entered: "); putchar(c);
Reading and Writing Strings
-
gets(): Reads a whole string from the keyboard.
- Syntax:
gets(string);
- Syntax:
-
puts(): Displays a string on the console.
- Syntax:
puts(str);
- Syntax:
Example of gets and puts
- Example code that reads and displays a string:
char str[100]; printf("Enter a value: "); gets(str); printf("\nYou entered: "); puts(str);
Formatted Input and Output
- Formatted I/O functions enable input and output in various formats using specific format specifiers for different data types.
Common Format Specifiers
- %d: signed integer
- %c: character
- %f: floating-point
- %s: string
- %ld: long integer
- %u: unsigned integer
- %i: integer
- %lf: double
- %n: prints nothing
printf() Function
- Used to display values of various types on the console.
- Syntax:
printf("Format Specifier", var1, var2, ...);
- Example:
int a = 20; printf("%d", a); // Output: 20
scanf() Function
- Used to read user input from the keyboard.
- Requires & (address-of operator) to store the value at the variable's memory location.
- Syntax:
scanf("Format Specifier", &var1, &var2, ...);
- Example:
int num1; printf("Enter an integer number: "); scanf("%d", &num1); printf("You have entered %d", num1);
sprintf() and sscanf()
-
sprintf(): Similar to
printf()
, but outputs to a character array.- Syntax:
sprintf(array_name, "format specifier", variable_name);
- Example:
char str[100]; int a = 2, b = 8; sprintf(str, "%d and %d are even numbers", a, b); printf("%s", str); // Output: 2 and 8 are even numbers
- Syntax:
-
sscanf(): Similar to
scanf()
, but reads from a string or character array.- Syntax:
sscanf(array_name, "format specifier", &variable_name);
- Example:
char str[100]; int c, d; sprintf(str, "a = %d and b = %d", 2, 8); sscanf(str, "a = %d and b = %d", &c, &d); printf("c = %d and d = %d", c, d); // Output: c = 2 and d = 8
