Study Notes

Format Specifiers

The format specifier %u represents an unsigned integer in C programming.

Constants

A character constant in C programming has a specific purpose, which is to represent a single character.
In C programming, a constant entity remains constant throughout the execution.
A floating-point constant in C is correctly represented in the format -digit.digit or -.digit.
A string constant in C is enclosed in double quotes.

Operators

The format specifier %hu represents an unsigned short integer in C programming.
The postfix increment operator increments the value of a variable after its value is used in an expression.
The unary minus operator changes the sign of a value.
The & operator is used for bitwise AND operation.
The > operator is used for greater than comparison.
The < operator is used for less than comparison.

Operands

An operand in programming is a value that is operated on by an operator.
Examples of unary operators include increment, decrement, and unary minus operators.
The * operator represents multiplication in the expression a * b.
The % operator represents the modulus operator, which returns the remainder of the division.

Operator Classification

A binary operator requires two operands.
A unary operator requires only one operand.
