Study Notes
Introduction to C
- C is a general-purpose, procedural, compiled language.
- Created by Dennis Ritchie in 1972.
- Key features include portability, efficiency, flexibility, and reliability.
- Developed at Bell Labs.
Basic Syntax
- Variables are named memory locations holding values.
- Data types define the kind of value a variable can hold (e.g., int, float, char).
- Operators perform actions on variables and values (e.g., +, -, *, /).
- Control structures manage program flow (e.g., if-else, loops, switch).
Data Types
- Integer types:
int,short,long,long long. - Floating-point types:
float,double,long double. - Character type:
char. - Arrays store values of the same type contiguously in memory.
- Structures store values of different types together in memory.
Operators
- Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %.
- Comparison operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=.
