Study Notes

Bitwise Operators

Bitwise AND (&) returns 1 if both bits have a value of 1, otherwise, it returns 0.
Bitwise OR (|) returns 1 if one or more of the bits have a value of 1, otherwise, it returns 0.
Bitwise EXCLUSIVE OR (^) returns 1 if one of the bits has a value of 1 and the other has a value of 0, otherwise, it returns 0.

Bitwise Shift Operations

Shift left (<<) and shift right (>>) operators require two operands: the bit pattern to be shifted and the number of displacements.
The shift operators are used to shift the bits of a binary pattern to the left or right.

Arithmetic Expressions

Evaluation of arithmetic expressions follows the hierarchy rules governed by the C compiler.
The hierarchy rules are:
Scan the expression from left to right.
Evaluate the operators *, /, % first, then +, -.
Use parentheses to overcome the precedence rules.

Input/Output Functions

Input/output functions can be accessed from anywhere within a program by writing the function name followed by a list of arguments enclosed in parentheses.
Some input/output functions do not require arguments, but the empty parentheses must still appear.
Examples of input/output functions include scanf(), getchar(), gets(), printf(), putchar(), and puts().

Bitwise Complement

The bitwise complement operator (~) switches all the bits in a binary pattern, i.e., all 0's become 1's and all 1's become 0's.

Comma Operator

A set of expressions separated by commas is a valid construction in C language.
The expressions are evaluated from left to right.

Size of Operator

The size of operator (sizeof) gives the size of the data type or variable in terms of bytes occupied in the memory.

Expressions

An expression is a collection of data objects and operators that can be evaluated to lead to a single new data object.
Examples of expressions include arithmetic expressions, conditional expressions, and bitwise expressions.

Conditional Operator (Ternary Operator)

The conditional operator (?:) is called ternary because it uses three expressions.
The ternary operator acts like an if-else construction.
The syntax is: (expression-1 ? expression-2 : expression-3).

Conditional Statements

Conditional statements are used for decision making.
Examples of conditional statements include if, if-else, nested if-else, switch, and conditional operator.
The if statement is used to express conditional expressions.
The if-else statement is used to execute one of the two statements depending on the value of the expression.
