Study Notes

Modifiers (Type Specifiers)

short: Uses fewer bits (typically 8 bits).
long: Allocates more bits (typically 32 bits).
signed: Represents both negative and positive values.
unsigned: Represents only positive values.

Size and Range of Values for 16-bit Machine (Integer Type)

short int / signed short int:
- Size: 8 bits
- Range: -128 to 127
unsigned short int:
- Size: 8 bits
- Range: 0 to 255
int / signed int:
- Size: 16 bits
- Range: -32,768 to 32,767
unsigned int:
- Size: 16 bits
- Range: 0 to 65,535
long int / signed long int:
- Size: 32 bits
- Range: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
unsigned long int:
- Size: 32 bits
- Range: 0 to 4,294,967,295

Character Types

char: Stores a single character (1 byte) with a range of -128 to 127.
signed char: Same range as char; -128 to 127.
unsigned char: Has a range of 0 to 255.
ASCII is the primary encoding scheme for characters.

Unary Minus Operator

Negates a value (e.g., -a makes 25 into -25).

Arithmetic Expressions

Basic operators include +, -, *, /, and %.
Operator precedence determines order of evaluation:
- High priority: *, /, %
- Low priority: +, -
Parentheses can alter precedence (e.g., a + (b * c)).
Left-to-right associativity for most operators, including +.

Relational Operators

Operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=.
Lower precedence than arithmetic operators.
Relational expressions yield true (1) or false (0).
Example: 10 < 20 results in true.

Type Casting

Consists of converting one data type to another.
For example: (int) 29.55 + (int) 21.99 results in 29 + 21.

Type Conversions in Expressions

Conversions affect how values are processed:
- Truncation occurs when converting from float to int.
- Integer arithmetic produces integer results, while floating-point division results in real numbers.

Integer and Floating-Point Conversions

Assigning integers to floating variables doesn't affect the value.
Assigning floats to integers truncates the decimal.
Integer division yields an integer result, while division involving floating points yields a float.

Assignment Operators

Combine arithmetic operations with assignment (e.g., count += 10 is equivalent to count = count + 10).
Maintain operator precedence rules during assignment.

Conditional Operator

Format: condition ? expression1 : expression2.
Evaluates condition; if true, evaluates and returns expression1, otherwise returns expression2.
