    Study Notes

    Variables

    • A variable is a storage location with an associated symbolic name.
    • Examples of valid variable names: myVariable, _variable, variable1.
    • Invalid variable name: 123variable (starts with a number).
    • Declaring a variable type:
      • Specifies the type of data the variable can hold.
      • Allocates memory for the variable.
      • Does not specify the variable's value or name.

    Data Types

    • In C programming, int is the data type used to store whole numbers.
    • Other data types: float, char, double.

    Variable Scope

    • Global variables can be accessed from any part of the program.
    • Local variables are declared within a function and can only be accessed within that function.

    Expressions

    • An expression is a combination of operators and operands that evaluates to a value.
    • Examples of expressions: x = 5 + 3 * 2;, 10 % 3.
    • In an expression, parentheses define the order of operations.

    Operators

    • Arithmetic operators: +, ++, *, /.
    • % is the modulus operator, which finds the remainder of a division operation.
    • != is the "not equal to" operator in a conditional statement.

    Conditionals

    • The if statement is used to execute code based on a condition.
    • The else statement executes a block of code if the condition is false.
    • In an if-else if-else ladder, if none of the conditions are true, the code in the else block is executed.
