    Study Notes

    C Programming Operators

    • The assignment operator = assigns a value to a variable.
    • The += operator increments a variable by a specified value and assigns the result back to the variable.
    • The -= operator decrements a variable by a specified value and assigns the result back to the variable.
    • The *= operator multiplies a variable by a specified value and assigns the result back to the variable.
    • The %= operator calculates the modulus (remainder) of a variable divided by a specified value and assigns the result back to the variable.
    • The ++ operator increments a variable by 1.
    • The -- operator decrements a variable by 1.
    • The typecasting operator converts a value from one data type to another.
    • Implicit typecasting is performed automatically by the compiler.
    • The parentheses operator () has the highest precedence in C.
    • The associativity of the assignment operator = is from right to left.
    • The precedence of operators determines the order in which they are evaluated in an expression.
    • When operators have the same precedence, their associativity determines the order of evaluation.

    C Programming Basics

    • The stdio.h header file provides functions for input/output operations.
    • The stdlib.h header file provides functions for general utility tasks.
    • The string.h header file provides functions for string manipulation.
    • The math.h header file provides functions for mathematical calculations.
    • The time.h header file provides functions for working with dates and times.
    • The semicolon ; is used to terminate a statement in C.
    • The int data type represents integers.
    • The float data type represents floating-point numbers.
    • The char data type represents characters.
    • The main() function is the entry point of a C program and typically returns an integer value. A return value of 0 generally indicates successful program execution.
    • Headers in C programming provide function prototypes and type definitions, making the code more readable and preventing errors.
    • Global variables are declared outside any function and have program-wide scope.
    • Local variables are declared inside a function and have function-specific scope.
    • A recursive function calls itself directly or indirectly.
    • The base case of a recursive function is the simplest case that can be solved directly, preventing infinite recursion.
    • Recursive functions are often used to solve problems that can be broken down into smaller, similar subproblems.

    Conditional Statements and Control Flow

    • Conditional statements allow a program to make decisions and execute different code blocks based on the value of an expression.
    • Conditional statements are typically used in conjunction with logical operators, such as && (AND), || (OR), and ! (NOT).
    • The if statement executes a block of code if a condition is true.
    • The else statement executes a block of code if the condition in the preceding if statement is false.
    • The else if statement provides additional conditions to evaluate if the previous if or else if conditions are false.
    • The switch statement allows a program to branch to different sections of code based on the value of a variable.
    • The break statement exists the switch statement immediately.
    • Short-circuit evaluation means that the second operand of a logical operator is not evaluated if the outcome can be determined by the first operand.
