C PROGRAMMING
Recap
2
C is a high-level language.
Writing a C code. {editors like gedit, vs}
Compiling a C code. {gcc –c test.c –o test}
Executing the object code. {./test}
Some more basics

Keywords
char, static, if , while, return ..................... Total= about 32
Data Types
int , char, float ...………..….. Some more later
Arithmetic Operators
+ (Plus), - (Minus), * (Multiplication), /(Division)
……….……….
Some more later
My first C program!
4
#include <stdio.h>
// program prints hello world
int main() {
printf ("Hello world!");
return 0;
}
Output: Hello world!
Example 1
5
#include <stdio.h>
// program prints a number of type int
int main() {
int number = 4;
printf (“Number is %d”, number);
return 0;
}
Output: Number is 4
Example 2
6
#include <stdio.h>
// program reads and prints the same thing
int main() {
int number ;
printf (“ Enter a Number: ”);
scanf (“%d”, &number);
printf (“Number is %d\n”, number);
return 0;
}
Output : Enter a number: 4
Number is 4
more and more
7
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
/* this program adds
two numbers */
int a = 4; //first number
int b = 5; //second number
int answer = 0; //result
answer = a + b;
}
Note

Errors
Compilation
Compiler generally gives the line
number at which the error is present.
Run time
C programs are sequential making
the debugging easier.
Some more Data Types
9
Primary : int, float, char
int (signed/unsigned)(2,4Bytes): used to store integers.
char (signed/unsigned)(1Byte): used to store
characters
float, double(4,8Bytes): used to store a decimal number.
User Defined:
typedef: used to rename a data type
typedef int integer; can use integer to declare an int.
enum, struct, union
Some more Arithmetic Operators
10
Prefix Increment : ++a
example:
int a=5;
b=++a; // value of b=6; a=6;
Postfix Increment: a++
example
int a=5;
b=a++; //value of b=5; a=6;
Contd…
11
Modulus (remainder): %
example:
12%5 = 2;
Assignment by addition: +=
example:
int a=4;
a+=1; //(means a=a+1) value of a becomes 5
Can use -, /, *, % also
Contd…
12
Comparision Operators: <, > , <=, >= , !=, ==, !,
&&, || .
example:
int a=4, b=5;
a<b returns a true(non zero number) value.
Bitwise Operators: <<, >>, ~, &, | ,^ .
example
int a=8;
a= a>>1; // value of a becomes 4
Operator Precedence
13
Meaning of a + b * c ?
is it a+(b*c) or (a+b)*c ?
All operators have precedence over each other
*, / have more precedence over +, - .
If both *, / are used, associativity comes into
picture. (more on this later)
example :
5+4*3 = 5+12= 17.

Input / Output
15
printf (); //used to print to console(screen)
scanf (); //used to take an input from console(user).
example: printf(“%c”, ’a’); scanf(“%d”, &a);
More format specifiers
%c The character format specifier.
%d The integer format specifier.
%i The integer format specifier (same as %d).
%f The floating-point format specifier.
%o The unsigned octal format specifier.
%s The string format specifier.
%u The unsigned integer format specifier.
%x The unsigned hexadecimal format specifier.
%% Outputs a percent sign.
Some more geek stuff
16
& in scanf.
It is used to access the address of the variable used.
example:
scanf(%d,&a);
we are reading into the address of a.
Data Hierarchy.
example:
int value can be assigned to float not vice-versa.
Type casting.

Semantics of a programming language
Find the Output:
value=value++ + value++;
Value=++value + ++value;
value=value++ + ++value;
