    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)

    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.

    Assignment Operators

    • Used to assign values to variables.
    • Types include:
      • Simple assignment (=),
      • Compound operators (+=, -=, *=, /=, %=).
    • Example of plus and assignment operator: A += B is equivalent to A = 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).

    Conditional Operator

    • A ternary operator denoted by ?: used for conditional expressions.
    • Syntax: condition ? expression1 : expression2;
    • If condition is true, evaluate expression1; otherwise, evaluate expression2.

    Bitwise Operators

    • Manipulate data at the bit level. Types include:
      • Bitwise AND (&),
      • Bitwise OR (|),
      • Bitwise XOR (^),
      • Right shift (>>),
      • One's complement (~).

    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 and scanf() 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.
    • putchar(): Displays a single character on the console.

      • Usage: char ch = 'A'; putchar(ch);
      • Equivalent to printf("%c", ch);

    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);
    • puts(): Displays a string on the console.

      • Syntax: puts(str);

    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
        
    • 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

        printf("%s", str); // Output: 2 and 8 are even numbers
        
    • 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
