Output of the program is below:

Basic Programming Terminologies

The following are the terminologies in computer programming:



Program. It is a set of commands or what we call as instructions.



Software/System/Application. It is a set of interrelated programs.



Programmer. He/she is the one who writes the program.



User. He/she is the one who uses the program written by the programmer

Programming Language

In writing a program, you must have the language that will serve as the medium between the human and the machine (computer) and this is what we call as Programming Language. A programming language is a set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer or any computing device to perform specific tasks. There are categories of programming language and these are:



Machine language where instructions are written in 0’s and 1’s.

This language is used by the primitive machines.



Low-level language or assembly language where instructions are written in mnemonic codes/symbols.



High-level language are those instructions that have resemblance to our English language statements. This language has classifications:

or


o

Procedural language is a programming language that follows, in order, a set of commands. Examples of this language are BASIC, C, FORTRAN, Java, and Pascal.

o

Object-Oriented programming language is a way of writing a computer program which is using the idea of

“objects” to represent data and methods. Examples of this language are C++, Java, VB.NET, etc.

Translator Programs

Translator programs are programs that are utilized by a particular programming language to translate instructions written either in low-level language or high-level language. Machine language does not need any of these translator programs since its instructions are understood by the computers. There are three translator programs available for programming languages:



Assembler. It translates program written in assembly language or low-level language into machine language. This serves as the fastest translator programs that we have so far.



Interpreter. It translates program written in high-level language into machine language one statement/command at a time. Programming languages that utilize interpreter are Python, Ruby, etc.



Compiler. It translates program written in high-level language into machine language. It scans the entire program and translates it as a whole into a machine code. Programming languages that utilize compiler are C, C++, Java, VB.Net, etc.

Summary of the Lesson:

1.

Turbo C/C++program can be installed either on your desktop personal computers or smartphones.

2.

Program is a set of instructions and a software/system/application is a set of interrelated programs.

3.

Programming language serves as the communication between the programmer and the computing devices.

4.

Since the language that the computing devices can understand is machine language, other categories of programming language is utilizing the translator program to translate those instructions into machine language.

C uses compiler as its translator program.



General Purpose

–

C programming can be used to develop operating systems, embedded systems, databases, and so on.

The need to learn C programming

It is important for you to understand the rationale of learning C programming. As a matter of fact, C helps you to understand the internal architecture of a computer, how computer stores and retrieves information. After learning C, it will be much easier to learn other programming languages like Java, Python, etc. Moreover, learning C is an opportunity to work on open source projects. Some of the largest open-source projects such as Linux kernel, Python interpreter, SQLite database, etc. are written in C programming.

History of C Language

The history of C programming language is quite interesting. C was originally designed for and implemented on the UNIX operating system on the DEC PDP-ll, by Dennis Ritchie. C is the result of a development process that started with an older language called BCPL. BCPL was developed by Martin Richards, and it influenced a language called B, which was invented by Ken Thompson. B led to the development of C in the 1970s. For many years, the de facto standard for C was the version supplied with the UNIX operating system. In the summer of 1983, a committee was established to create an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard that would define the C language. The standardization process took six years (much longer than anyone reasonably expected).

or


The ANSI C standard was finally adopted in December 1989, with the first copies becoming available in early 1990. The standard was also adopted by ISO (International Standards Organization), and the resulting standard was typically referred to as ANSI/ISO Standard C. In 1995, Amendment 1 to the C standard was adopted, which, among other things, added several new library functions. The 1989 standard for C, along with Amendment 1, became a base document for Standard C++, defining the C subset of C++. The version of C defined by the 1989 standard is commonly referred to as C89. During the 1990s, a new standard for C was being developed. It was the 1999 standard for C, usually referred to as C99. In general, C99 retained nearly all of the features of C89. The C99 standardization committee focused on two main areas: the addition of several numeric libraries and the development of some special-use, but highly innovative, new features, such as variable-length arrays and the restrict pointer qualifier. These innovations have once again put C at the forefront of computer language development. C89 is the version of C in widest use, it is currently accepted by all C compilers, and it forms the basis for C++.

Applications of C Programming

C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make-up the operating system. C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as the code written in assembly language. Some examples of the use of C are -



Operating Systems



Language Compilers

Assemblers



Text Editors

C Program Execution Phases

First of all, execution or executing a program refers that we are now checking program for errors and then for output. C program goes under six (6) phases for execution: 1.

Edit. In this C program execution phase a programmer edit(type) a program with an editor program. 2.

Preprocess. In this C preprocessor executes before a program is compiled. It performs some actions like a) inclusion of other files in the file being compiled. b) symbolic constants and micros c) conditional compilation of program codes. d) conditional execution of preprocessor directories.

or


3.

Compiling. In Phase 3 compiler translate the C program into machine language code. It issues an error message to locate and fix the incorrect statements that means compiler issues and error when it does not recognize the syntax of code because when a statement is not as per according to the rules of the language. Syntax error are also called compile errors or compile time errors. 4.

Linking. C program basically contains reference to function defined elsewhere such as in the standard libraries or private libraries of group of programmers working on a particular project. Object code produced by c compiler typically contains "HOLES" due to this missing parts. Therefore, Linker links the object code with standard libraries or missing codes to produce an executable image. 5.

Loading. Before a program can be executed, the program has to be placed in memory. This is done by 'loader' which takes the executable image from disc and transfer it to memory.

or


6.

Execution. After all phases the execution phase comes in this phase CPU that is central Processing Unit execute the program one instruction at a time and the output of that code is printed on the monitor screen of the computer.

C is a powerful procedural language that uses compiler as a translator program. 2.

C enables you to understand the internal architecture of the computer system. 3.

C was written, designed and implemented by Dennis Ritchie for the purpose of UNIX operating system development. 4.

Through C, you will be able to develop an operating system, translator programs, text editors, etc. 5.

LESSON 3: THE C PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Objectives:




Explain the C program structure



Identify the parts of the basic C program.



Practice the basic program in C.

The C Program Structure

A C program basically consists of the following parts −



Preprocessor Commands/Directives



main() Function



Statements & Expressions



Comments Take a look

at a simple code that will display the word “Hello World” on your

screen/monitor. Each line of the program is explained below:



The first line of the program #include <stdio.h>is a preprocessor command, which tells a C compiler to include stdio.h file before going to actual compilation. C commands are organized into libraries and .h is the extension name of the C libraries. stdio.h is the library that covers the input and output commands of C.



The next line int main () is the main function where the program execution begins.



The next line /*...*/ will be ignored by the compiler and it has been put to add additional comments in the program. So, such lines are called comments in the program. You can use comments to remind the programmer of what the program/statement does.



The next line printf(...) is another function available in C which causes the message "Hello, World!" to be displayed on the screen.



The next line is return 0; terminates the program execution. Therefore, the basic C program structure is shown below: #preprocessor directives

#include <stdio.h> main() { /* my first program in C */

printf ("Hello, World! \n");

return 0;

}

or


main() { /* statements */ } Between the curly braces { } are the codes or statements that will be included in your program. The succeeding lessons covers the elements of programming that is needed in solving a problem with C language.


1.

A C program structure composes of preprocessor directives, main() function, statements, and comments. 2.

stdio.h is the standard input and output library of C. 3.

Comments are ignored by the compiler. 4.

{} are the indication of the begin and end of the program.

LESSON 4. THE ELEMENTS OF C PROGRAMMING

Objectives:




Identify the elements of C Programming.



Differentiate the elements of C programming.

Elements of Programming

There are elements of programming that you can use in solving a problem with programming language. These elements can be your guide in learning not only C language but also other programming languages whether it be procedural or object-oriented programming language. These are:



Input/Output. These elements of computer programming allow interaction of the program with the external entities. Example of input/output element are printing something out to the screen, capturing some text that user input on the keyboard and can be include reading and writing files.



Variables. Variables in programming tells how the data is represented which can be range from very simple value to complex one. The value they contain can be change depending on condition. As we know program consist of instructions that tell the computer to do things and data the program use when it is running. Data is constant with the fixed values or variable. They can hold a very simplex value like an age of the person to something very complex like a student track record of his performance of whole year.



Conditional. Conditionals specify the execution of the statements depending on the whether condition is satisfied or not. Basically, it refers to an action that only fulfil when the applied condition on instructions satisfied. They are one of the most important components of the programming language because they give freedom to program to act differently every time when it executes that depends on input to the instructions.



Iterations. We can define loop as a sequence of instructions that are repeated continuously till a certain condition is not satisfied. How a loop starts understand this first a certain process is done, to get any data and changing it after that applied condition on the loop is checked whether counter reached to prescribed number or not. Basically, a loop carry out execution of a group of instruction of commands a certain number of times. There is also a concept of infinite loop which is also termed as endless loop is a piece of code that lack from functional exit and goes to repeat indefinitely.



Subroutines. This element of the programming allows a programmer to use snippet of code into one location which can be used over and over again. The primary purpose of the functions is to take arguments in numbers of values and do some calculation on them after that return a single result. Functions are required where you need to do complicated calculations and the result of that may or may not be used subsequently used in an expression. If we talk about subroutines that return several results. Where calls to subroutines cannot be placed in an expression whether it is in the main program where subroutine is activated by using CALL statement which include the list of inputs and outputs that enclosed in the open and closed parenthesis and they are called the arguments of the subroutines. There are some of the rules follow by both to define name like less than six letters and start with the letters. The name should be different that used for variables and functions. In succeeding lessons of this course, each element will be discussed with the application of C language statements and its syntax.


or


1.

Elements of programming helps you to solve to solve problems using programming language. 2.

The basic elements of programming are: output, input, variables, conditional, iterations, and subroutines. 3.

Output is the most important element of programming. 4.

Input allows you to interact with computer using input devices. 5.

Variables enables you to represent data in programs. 6.

Conditional enables you to specify the execution of the statements whether it be true or false. 7.

Iterations is where set of instructions are repeated continuously. 8.

Subroutines allows you to use a group of codes and use it over and over again.

LESSON 5. THE INPUT/OUTPUT ELEMENT

Objectives:




Identify the different input element of programming using C language.



Determine the different output element of programming using C language.



Create a program that utilize the input/output elements in C. In C Language input and output function are available as C compiler function or C library provided with each C compiler implementation. These all functions are collectively known as Standard I/O Library function. Here I/O stands for Input and Output used for different inputting and outputting statements. These I/O functions are categorized into three processing functions. Console input/output function (deals with keyboard and monitor), disk input/output function (deals with floppy or hard disk) and port input/output function (deals with serial or parallel port). As all the input/output statements deals with the console, so these are also Console Input/Output functions. Console Input/Output function access the three major files before the execution of a C Program. These are as:



stdin: This file is used to receive the input (usually is keyboard file, but can also take input from the disk file).



stdout: This file is used to send or direct the output (usually is a monitor file, but can also send the output to a disk file or any other device).



stderr: This file is used to display or store error messages.

Input/Output Statement

Input and Output statement are used to read and write the data in C programming. These are embedded in stdio.h (standard Input/Output header file). There are mainly two of Input/Output functions are used for this purpose. These are discussed as:

1.

Unformatted I/O functions There are mainly six unformatted I/O functions and these are getchar(), purchar(), gets(), puts(), getch(), and getche(). 1.

getchar(). This function is an Input function. It is used for reading a single character from the keyboard. It is buffered function. Buffered functions get the input from the keyboard and store it in the memory buffer temporally until you press the Enter key. The general syntax is as:

or


v = getchar();

where v is the variable of character type.

For example: char n; n =getchar(); To apply getchar() function, simple C-program to read a single character from the keyboard is as: 2.

putchar(). This function is an output function. It is used to display a single character on the screen. The general syntax is as:

putchar(v);


For example: char n; putchar(n); A simple program is written as below, which will read a single character using getchar() function and display inputted data using putchar() function:

or


3.

gets(). This function is an input function. It is used to read a string from the keyboard. It is also buffered function. It will read a string, when you type the string from the keyboard and press the Enter key from the keyboard. It will mark null character ('\0') in the memory at the end of the string, when you press the enter key. The general syntax is as:

gets(v);

where v is the variable of character type. For example: char n[20]; gets(n); A simple C program to illustrate the use of gets() function:

or


4.

puts(). This is an output function. It is used to display a string inputted by gets() function. It is also used to display an text (message) on the screen for program simplicity. This function appends a newline ("\n") character to the output. The general syntax is as:

puts(v);

or

puts("text line");

where v is the variable of character type. For example:

puts(“Name is”);

puts(n); A simple C program to illustrate the use of puts() function:

or


Output of this program would be: 5.

getch(). This is also an input function. This is used to read a single character from the keyboard like getchar() function. But getchar() function is a buffered is function, getchar() function is a non-buffered function. The character data read by this function is directly assign to a variable rather it goes to the memory buffer, the character data directly assign to a variable without the need to press the Enter key. Another use of this function is to maintain the output on the screen till you have not press the Enter Key. The general syntax is as:

v = getch();


or


A simple C program to illustrate the use of getch() function: Output of this program would be: 6.

getche(). All are same as getch() function except it is an echoed function. It means when you type the character data from the keyboard it will visible on the screen. The general syntax is as:

v = getche();

where v is the variable of character type. A simple C program to illustrate the use of getche() function:

or


Output of this program would be:

2.

Formatted I/O functions Formatted I/O functions which refers to an Input or Output data that has been arranged in a particular format. There are mainly two formatted I/O functions discussed as follows: 7.

scanf(). The scanf() function is an input function. It used to read the mixed type of data from keyboard. You can read integer, float and character data by using its control codes or format codes. The general syntax is as:

scanf("control strings",arg1,arg2, argN);

or

or


scanf("control strings",&v1,&v2,&v3, &vN);

where arg1, arg2, argN are the arguments for reading and v1, v2, v3, vN all are the variables. The scanf() format code (specifier) is as shown in the below table:

Format Code Meaning

%c To read a single character

%d

To read a signed decimal integer (short) %ld To read a signed long decimal integer

%e

To read a float value exponential

%f

To read a float (short) or a single precision value

%lf

To read a double precision float value

%g

To read double float value %h

To read short integer

%i

To read an integer (decimal, octal, hexadecimal) %o

To read an octal integer only

%x

To read a hexadecimal integer only %u

To read unsigned decimal integer (used in pointer)

%s

To read a string

%[..]

To read a string of words from the defined range

%[^]

To read string of words which are not from the defined range Try the codes below:

or


8.

printf(). This is an output function. It is used to display a text message and to display the mixed type (int, float, char) of data on screen. The general syntax is as:

printf("control strings",&v1,&v2,&v3, &vN);

or

printf("Message line or text line");

where v1,v2,v3, vn all are the variables. The control strings use some printf() format codes or format specifiers or conversion characters. These all are discussed in the below table as:

Format Code Meaning

%c To read a single character

%s

To read a string

%d

To read a signed decimal integer (short) %ld To read a signed long decimal integer

%f

To read a float (short0 or a single precision value

%lf

To read a double precision float value

%e

To read a float value exponential

%g

To read double float value

%o

To read an octal integer only

%x

To read a hexadecimal integer only

%u

To read unsigned decimal integer (used in pointer) Try the codes below:

or



1.

Input and output (I/O) element of programming is the use of the input and output devices in developing a program. 2.

There are two classifications of I/O elements and these are unformatted I/O and formatted I/O functions. 3.

Unformatted I/O functions are gets(), getch(), getche(), getchar(), puts(), putchar(). Functions gets() and puts() is specifically for string data type while the rest of the unformatted I/O works for character data type. 4.

Formatted I/O functions are scanf() and printf() which uses the format specification or what we called as format string. These functions can be used for various data types.

LESSON 6. THE DATA TYPES

Objectives:




Explain the use of data types in programming.



Identify the different data types in C programming.



Integrate data types in C program through solving a problem. Data types specify how we enter data into our programs and what type of data we enter. C Data Types are used to:



Identify the type of a variable when it declared.



Identify the type of the return value of a function.



Identify the type of a parameter expected by a function. C language has some predefined set of data types to handle various kinds of data that we can use in our program. These datatypes have different storage capacities. C language supports different type of data types: 1.

Primary data types.

These are fundamental data types in C namely integer(int), floating point(float), character(char) and void.



char:

The most basic data type in C. It stores a single character and requires a single byte of memory in almost all compilers.



int:

As the name suggests, an int variable is used to store an integer.



float:

It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with floating point value) with single precision.



double:

It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with floating point value) with double precision. 2.

Derived data types.

Derived data types are nothing but primary data types but a little twisted or grouped together like array, references and pointer. These are discussed in details later on this course.



Arrays. Arrays are sequences of data items having homogeneous values. They have adjacent memory locations to store values.



References. Function pointers allow referencing functions with a particular signature.



Pointer. These are powerful C features which are used to access the memory and deal with their addresses. 3.

Union

, and

Enumeration

.



Structure. It is a package of variables of different types under a single name. This is done to handle data efficiently. "struct" keyword is used to define a structure.



Union. These allow storing various data types in the same memory location. Programmers can define a union with different members, but only a single member can contain a value at a given time.



Enum. Enumeration is a special data type that consists of integral constants, and each of them is assigned with a specific name. "enum" keyword is used to define the enumerated data type. Different data types also have different ranges up to which they can store numbers. These ranges may vary from compiler to compiler. Below is list of ranges along with the memory requirement and format specifiers on 32 bit gcc compiler.

Additional Data Types

1.

void.

void is an incomplete type. It means "nothing" or "no type". You can think of void as absent. For example, if a function is not returning anything, its return type should be void. 2.

short and long.

If you need to use a large number, you can use a type specifier long. Here's how:



long a;



long long b;



long double c; Here variables a and b can store integer values. And, c can store a floating-point number. If you are sure, only a

small integer ([−32,767, +32,767] range) will be used, you can use

short.

or


short d;

You can always check the size of a variable using the sizeof() operator. 3.

signed and unsigned.

In C, signed and unsigned are type modifiers. You can alter the data storage of a data type by using them. For example,

unsigned int x;

Here, the variable x can hold only zero and positive values because we have used the unsigned modifier. Considering the size of int is 4 bytes, variable y can hold values from -231 to 231-1, whereas variable x can hold values from 0 to 232-1.


1.

Data types identifies the type of variable when it is declared. 2.

There are various data types to use and these are: primary data types, derived data types, and user-defined data types. 3.

Among the primary data types are int for integer, char for character, and float for numbers with fractional part. 4.

The derived data types are similar to primary data types but they are treated as a group and these are: array, pointers, and references. 5.

The user-defined data types are structures, union, and enum. 6.

Other data types include short, long, signed, unsigned, and void.

LESSON 7. VARIABLES, CONSTANTS AND LITERALS

Objectives:




Understand the variables and rules for naming a variable.



Identify different literals in C programming and how to create constants.

Variables

In programming, a variable is a container or storage area to hold data. To indicate a storage area, each variable should be given a unique name, we call it as identifier. Variable names are just the symbolic representation of a memory location. For example:

int number = 7;

With the example given, number is a variable of int data type which is assigned an integer value 7. Another example:

char ch;

In the given example, ch is a variable of character data type. There are rules in naming a variable or identifier: 1.

A variable name can only have letters (both uppercase and lowercase letters), digits and underscore. 2.

The first letter of a variable should be either a letter or an underscore. 3.

There is no rule on how long a variable name (identifier) can be. However, you may run into problems in some compilers if the variable name is longer than 31 characters. C is a strongly typed language. This means that the variable type cannot be changed once it is declared. For example:

int number = 5;

// error

integer variable number = 5.5;

// error

double number;

// error

Here, the type of number variable is int. You cannot assign a floating-point (decimal) value 5.5 to this variable. Also, you cannot redefine the data type of the variable to double. By the way, to store the decimal values in C, you need to declare its type to either double or float.

Constants

If you want to define a variable whose value cannot be changed, you can use the const keyword. This will create a constant. For example,

const double PI = 3.14;

or


Notice, we have added keyword const. You can also place a symbolic constant which its value cannot be changed.

const double PI = 3.14;

You can also define a constant using the #define preprocessor directive.

Literals

Literals are data used for representing fixed values. They can be used directly in the code. For example: 1, 2.5, 'c' etc. They are literals because you cannot assign different values to these terms. There are different literals in C language. 1.

Integers.

These are numeric literals associated with numbers without any fractional or exponential part. There are three types of integer literals in C programming:



decimal (base 10)



octal (base 8)



hexadecimal (base 16) For example:



Decimal: 0, -9, 22 etc



Octal: 021, 077, 033 etc



Hexadecimal: 0x7f, 0x2a, 0x521 etc In C

programming

, octal starts with a 0, and hexadecimal starts with a 0x. 2.

Floating-point Literals.

These are numeric literal that have either a fractional form or an exponent form. For example:



-2.0



0.0000234



-0.22E-5



Note: E-5 =10-5 3.

Characters.

These are created by enclosing a single character inside single quotation marks. For example: 'a', 'm', 'F', '2', '}' etc. 4.

Escape Sequences.

Sometimes, it is necessary to use characters that cannot be typed or has special meaning in C programming. For example: newline(enter), tab, question mark etc. In order to use these characters, escape sequences are used.

Escape Sequences Character

\b

Backspace

\f

Form feed

or


\n

Newline

\r

Return

\t

Horizontal tab

\v

Vertical tab

\\

Backslash

\'

Single quotation mark \" Double quotation mark

\?

Question mark

\0

Null character For example: \n is used for a newline. The backslash \ causes escape from the normal way the characters are handled by the compiler. 5.

String Literals.

A string literal is a sequence of characters enclosed in double- quote marks. For example:



"good" /*string constant*/



"" /*null string constant*/



" " /*string constant of six white space*/



"x" /*string constant having a single character. */



"Earth is round\n" /*prints string with a newline*/


1.

Variables serves as container of the data, constants are the values that cannot be changed, while literals are data representing fixed data. 2.

There are rules in naming variables or what we call as identifiers.



It must start with a letter.



The rest of the identifier could be a letter, digit, or underscore.



No space is allowed.



No keyword is allowed. Keyword has a special meaning to the compiler such as printf, scanf, int, char, float, if, etc.



No special symbol is allowed such as %, @, $, *, +, -, etc.

LESSON 8. C PROGRAMMING OPERATORS

Objectives:




Identify the different operators in C programming with the help of examples. An operator is a symbol that operates on a value or a variable. For example: +is an operator to perform addition. C has a wide range of operators to perform various operations.

Types of Operators

1.

Arithmetic/mathematical operator.

An arithmetic/mathematical operator performs mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc on numerical values (constants and variables).

Operator

Meaning of Operator

+

addition or unary plus

-

subtraction or unary minus

*

multiplication

/

division

%

remainder after division (modulo division)

or


Output would be: The operators +, - and * computes addition, subtraction, and multiplication respectively as you might have expected. In normal calculation, 9/4 =2.25. However, the output is 2 in the program. It is because both the variables a and b are integers. Hence, the output is also an integer. The compiler neglects the term after the decimal point and shows answer 2 instead of 2.25. The modulo operator % computes the remainder. When a=9 is divided by b=4, the remainder is 1. The % operator can only be used with integers. Suppose a =5.0, b =2.0, c =5 and d =2. Then in C programming,

// Working of arithmetic operators

#include <stdio.h>

int main() int a = 9,b = 4, c; c = a+b;

c = a-b;

c = a*b; c = a/b; c = a%b; wh return 0; a+b = 13

a-b = 5

a*b = 36 a/b = 2 Remainder when a divided by b=1

or


2.

C Increment and Decrement Operators.

C programming has two operators increment ++and decrement -- to change the value of an operand (constant or variable) by 1. Increment ++increases the value by 1 whereas decrement -- decreases the value by 1. These two operators are unary operators, meaning they only operate on a single operand.

// Either one of the operands is a floating-point number a/b = 2.5 a/d = 2.5 c/b = 2.5 // Both operands are integers // Working of increment and decrement operators #include <stdio.h> int main() int a = 10, b = 100; float c = 10.5, d = 100.5; printf ("--b = %d \n", --b); printf ("--d = %f \n", --d); return 0;

or


Output: Here, the operators ++and -- are used as prefixes. These two operators can also be used as postfixes like a++and a--. 3.

C Assignment Operators.

An assignment operator is used for assigning a value to a variable. The most common assignment operator is =.

Operator

Example

Same as

=

a = b

a = b

+=

a +=b

a = a+b

-=

a -= b

a = a-b

*=

a *= b

a = a*b

/=

a /= b a = a/b

%=

a %= b a = a%b

Try the codes below:

++a = 11

--b = 99

++c = 11.500000

++d = 99.500000

or


Output: 5

// Working of assignment operators #include <stdio.h> int main() int a = 5, c; c = a; // c is 5 c += a;

// c is 10

c -= a; // c is 5 c *= a; // c is 25 c /= a; // c is 5

c %=

a; // c = 0 return 0; c = 5 c = 10 c = 5 c = 25 c = 5 c = 0

or

or


Output: 5.

C Logical Operators.

An expression containing logical operator returns either 0 or 1 depending upon whether expression results true or false. Logical operators are commonly used in decision making in C programming.

Operator

Meaning

Example

&&

Logical AND. True only if all operands are true If c =5 and d =2 then,

expression ((c==5) && (d>5))

equals to 0.

||

Logical OR. True only if either one operand is true If

c

=5 and d =2 then,

expression ((c==5) || (d>5))

equals to 1.

!

Logical NOT. True only if the operand is 0 If c =5 then, expression !(c==5) equals to 0. Example: Logical Operators

5 == 5 is 1

5 == 10 is 0

5 > 5 is 0

5 > 10 is 0

5 < 5 is 0

5 < 10 is 1

5 != 5 is 0

5 != 10 is 1

5 >= 5 is 1

5 >= 10 is 0

5 <= 5 is 1

5 <= 10 is 1

or


Output: Explanation of logical operator program

o

(a ==b) && (c >5) evaluates to 1 because both operands (a ==b) and (c>b) is 1 (true).

o

(a ==b) && (c <b) evaluates to 0 because operand (c <b) is 0 (false).

o

(a ==b) || (c <b) evaluates to 1 because (a =b) is 1 (true).

o

(a !=b) || (c <b) evaluates to 0 because both operand (a !=b) and (c<b) are 0 (false).

o

!(a !=b) evaluates to 1 because operand (a !=b) is 0 (false). Hence, !(a !=b) is 1 (true).

// Working of logical operators

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int a = 5, b = 5, c = 10, result; result = (a == b) && (c > b);

printf ("(a == b) && (c > b) is %d \n", result);

result = (a == b) && (c < b);

printf ("(a == b) && (c < b) is %d \n", result);

result = (a == b)

||

(c < b); printf ("(a == b) || (c < b) is %d \n", result); result = (a != b)

||

(c < b); printf ("(a != b)

||

(c < b) is %d \n", result); result = !(a != b);

printf ("!(a == b) is %d \n", result);

result = !(a == b);

printf ("!(a == b) is %d \n", result);

return 0;

or


o

!(a ==b) evaluates to 0 because (a ==b) is 1 (true). Hence, !(a ==b) is 0 (false). 6.

C Bitwise Operators.

During computation, mathematical operations like: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. are converted to bit-level which makes processing faster and saves power. Bitwise operators are used in C programming to perform bit-level operations.

Operators

Comma operators are used to link related expressions together. For example:

int a, c = 5, d;

8.

The sizeof operator.

The sizeof is a unary operator that returns the size of data (constants, variables, array, structure, etc).

Lesson 9. C Programming Expressions

Objectives:




Identify the valid C programming expressions.



Use expressions in C program. In programming, an expression is any legal combination of symbols that represents a value. C Programming provides its own rules of expression, whether it is legal expression or illegal expression. For example, in the C language x+5 is a legal expression. Every expression consists of at least one operand and can have one or more operators. Operands are values and Operators are symbols that represent particular actions.

Valid C Programming Expression:

C Programming code gets compiled firstly before execution. In the different phases of compiler, c programming expression is checked for its validity.
