Study Notes
-
Pointers: Pointers are variables that store memory addresses. Use them effectively to work with arrays and dynamically allocated memory. Address-of operator (
&) gives the memory address of a variable, while the dereference operator (*) gives the value at the address stored in a pointer. -
Character Strings (C-Strings): Character arrays are used to represent strings. They are terminated by a null character (
\0). String manipulation functions (strcpy,strcat,strlen) are vital for working with text strings. Avoid buffer overflows. - Arrays: Arrays are used to store collections of similar data types. They are indexed starting at 0. Pointers and arrays are closely related; a pointer to an array element essentially points to the address of that array element.
- Functions: Functions help organize code, promote reusability, and improve readability. Avoid passing arrays as simple arguments — this often implies only passing the starting address. Function declarations should have prototypes.
-
String Manipulation Functions: Functions like
strcpy,strcat,strcmp,strlen, andprintfare useful for manipulating strings. Be aware of potential buffer overflows when copying or concatenating strings. Understand the purpose of the null terminator (\0) for string functions to work correctly. - Example: (Illustrative - not exhaustive)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h> // Needed for string functions
int main() {
char name[50];
char greeting[] = "Hello, ";
printf("Enter your name: ");
fgets(name, sizeof(name), stdin); // Safer input than scanf for strings
//String concatenation and output
strcat(greeting, name);
printf("%s\n", greeting);
return 0;
}
-
Dynamic Memory Allocation:
malloc,calloc,realloc, andfreeare used for managing memory dynamically during runtime. These are crucial for allocating and deallocating memory blocks of arbitrary size, especially essential with dynamic data structures like linked lists or large datasets. Usefreeto release allocated memory to prevent memory leaks. -
Memory Leaks: These result from not releasing dynamically allocated memory with
free; they lead to memory exhaustion and program instability. -
Compilation and Execution: C code is compiled into machine code before execution. Errors in syntax or logic will prevent successful compilation or lead to unexpected runtime behavior.
-
Basic Input/Output: Standard input/output (
printf,scanf) are common for interacting with the user. Pay close attention to data types when usingscanf. Example:-
printf("Enter an integer: "); -
scanf("%d", &number);
-
-
Arithmetic Operators: Standard arithmetic operators (
+,-,*,/,%) are used for mathematical calculations. Be mindful of integer division, which truncates any decimal portion. -
Relational Operators: Operators like (
>,<,>=,<=,==,!=) compare values. They return 0 (false) or 1 (true). -
Logical Operators: Operators (
&&,||,!) combine relational expressions to create more complex conditions. -
Control Structures:
-
ifstatement: Executes a block of code conditionally. -
else: Used withifto provide an alternative block of code to execute if theifcondition is false. -
else if: Allows for multiple conditional checks in a singleifconstruct. -
whileloop: Repeats a block of code as long as a condition is true. -
do-whileloop: Executes a block of code at least once, and then repeats as long as a condition is true. Ensure a proper loop termination condition to prevent infinite loops. -
forloop: Provides a more compact way to manage looping, typically used with counter variables.
-
-
Variable Declarations: Variables must be declared before usage. Appropriate data types (
int,float,char,double) should be selected based on the values being stored. -
Operator Precedence: Operators have different priorities in evaluating expressions. Use parenthesis to clarify order if needed.
-
Error Handling: Consider potential errors (e.g., invalid input). Use
ifstatements and error messages to prevent unexpected behavior when dealing with user input. -
Example of
if-else if-elsewith input:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int age;
printf("Enter your age: ");
scanf("%d", &age);
if (age < 18) {
printf("You are a minor.\n");
} else if (age >= 18 && age < 65) {
printf("You are an adult.\n");
} else {
printf("You are a senior citizen.\n");
}
return 0;
}
-
Example of
whileloop:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int count = 0;
while (count < 5) {
printf("Iteration %d\n", count);
count++;
}
return 0;
}
-
Example of potential errors (for diagnostic purposes):
- Missing semicolon:
printf("Hello");(missing semicolon) - Incorrect data type: Trying to store a float in an integer variable.
- Incorrect operators: Using a relational operator where an arithmetic operator is needed (e.g., using
=instead of==) causing unexpected results or logic errors. - Logical error: A condition that results in an infinite loop or unwanted behavior
- Improper use of control structures: Missing
{}brackets for code blocks afterif,else,while,forleading to unintended code execution. - Incorrect use of
scanf: Incorrect format specifier or memory location (&) inscanfcauses unexpected input handling and data corruption. - Unhandled input: Not validating user input into
scanfleads to unexpected program crashes or errors. - Buffer overflows: Writing beyond the allocated memory for a string. Using functions like
fgetsproperly when reading input to prevent buffer overflows. - Improper use of pointer arithmetic (especially with arrays)
- Memory leaks.
- Missing semicolon:
