C Programming Study Notes
Syntax
-
Basic Structure:
- Every C program consists of functions, with
main()being the entry point. - Syntax includes keywords, data types, operators, and control statements.
- Every C program consists of functions, with
-
Comments:
- Single-line comments:
// comment - Multi-line comments:
/* comment */
- Single-line comments:
-
Semicolons:
- Statements are typically terminated with a semicolon (
;).
- Statements are typically terminated with a semicolon (
If Conditions
- Purpose: Used to execute a block of code based on a condition.
-
Basic Syntax:
if (condition) { // code to execute if condition is true }
Simple If
- Definition: Executes a block of code if the condition evaluates to true.
-
Example:
int x = 10; if (x > 5) { printf("x is greater than 5"); }
Nested If
-
Definition: An
ifstatement inside anotherifstatement. - Usage: To check multiple conditions sequentially.
-
Example:
if (x > 0) { if (x % 2 == 0) { printf("x is positive and even"); } else { printf("x is positive and odd"); } }
Operators
-
Arithmetic Operators:
+,-,*,/,% -
Relational Operators:
==,!=,>,<,>=,<= -
Logical Operators:
&&(AND),||(OR),!(NOT) -
Assignment Operators:
=,+=,-=,*=,/=
Basic C Programs
-
Hello World Program:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; } -
Program to Check Even or Odd:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int num; printf("Enter an integer: "); scanf("%d", &num); if (num % 2 == 0) { printf("%d is even\n", num); } else { printf("%d is odd\n", num); } return 0; } -
Simple Calculator:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int a, b, sum; printf("Enter two integers: "); scanf("%d %d", &a, &b); sum = a + b; printf("Sum: %d\n", sum); return 0; }
C Programming Overview
- C programs consist of functions;
main()serves as the entry point for execution. - Syntax involves keywords, data types, operators, and control statements essential for coding.
- Comments are included for clarity: single-line comments use
//, while multi-line comments are enclosed within/* ... */. - Statements are typically concluded with a semicolon (
;), which indicates the end of a command in C.
Conditional Statements
- Conditions are used to execute specific code blocks based on evaluations.
Simple If Statement
- The simple
ifstatement executes a block when the specified condition is true. - Example demonstrates checking if a variable
xis greater than5, printing a message if true.
Nested If Statement
- A nested
ifstatement allows for multiple conditions to be evaluated sequentially where oneifis inside another. - Example illustrates checking if
xis positive, followed by evaluating if it is even or odd, printing appropriate messages based on evaluations.
Operators
-
Arithmetic Operators: Used for mathematical operations, including addition (
+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus (%) for calculating remainder. -
Relational Operators: Used to compare values, including equality (
==), inequality (!=), greater than (>), less than (<), and others for precise conditional evaluations.
