Study Notes

Data Types in C

long double data type uses 16 bytes of storage with approximately 24 digits of precision.
Signed and unsigned qualifiers modify the first bit of storage for char and int data types.
By default, char and int are signed:
- A value with a zero in the first (signed) bit is positive.
- A value with a one in the first bit is negative.
Unsigned variables treat the first bit as part of the positive number, extending the possible range above zero.

Basic Data Types in C

Data Type	Description	Typical Memory Requirements
`int`	Positive and negative numbers without decimal points	2 bytes or 1 word (varies)
`char`	Single character	1 byte
`float`	Number with decimal point and/or exponent	4 bytes
`double`	Double precision floating point number	8 bytes

Type Modifiers/Qualifiers

Four type qualifiers in C:
- signed: Default for char and int.
- unsigned: Extends the range of values to positive only.
- long : Increases the range of integer data types.
- short : Decreases the range of integer data types.

Variable Declaration

Every variable must be declared before its use in a program.
Common keywords:
- printf, scanf, int, struct, goto, void main, long, switch, auto, do, register, typedef, break, else, return, union, case, enum, short, unsigned, char, extern, signed, void, const, float, sizeof, volatile, continue, for, static, while, default, goto, include, struct, do, if, int, double

Simple Code Examples

Multiplication:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int a, b, c;
    a = 87;
    b = 243;
    c = a * b;

    printf("\n%d times %d equals %d\n", a, b, c);

    return 0;
}

Student Information:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int age;
    double height;
    char gender; // Single char
    char civils; // Single char

    printf("Enter your age: ");
    scanf("%d", &age);

    printf("Enter your height: ");
    scanf("%lf", &height);

    printf("Enter gender (M/F): ");
    scanf(" %c", &gender); // Read a single character

    printf("Enter civil status (S/W/M): ");
    scanf(" %c", &civils); // Read a single character

    // Output the entered information
    printf("\nYou entered:\n");
    printf("Age: %d\n", age);
    printf("Height: %.2lf\n", height);
    printf("Gender: %c\n", gender);
    printf("Civil Status: %c\n", civils);
    return 0;
}

Flowchart and Coding Practice

Input Two Numbers, Output Sum:
- Create a flowchart with the following steps:
  - Start
  - Read two numbers
  - Calculate the sum
  - Display the sum
  - End
- Convert the flowchart into C code.

Definitions

Algorithm: A set of steps or instructions to solve a specific problem or achieve a desired outcome.
Pseudocode: A high-level description of an algorithm that uses plain English-like language, without specific syntax. It helps understand the algorithm's logic before writing actual code.

Additional Flowcharts

Voting Eligibility:
- Input age
- If age >= 18:
  - Print "Can vote"
- Else
  - Print "Cannot vote"
- End
Finding Highest Number:
- Input three numbers
- Compare the first two numbers, store the greater one
- Compare the greater number from step 2 with the third number
- Display the final greater number
- End
