Char data type

▪ Characters (char) – To store a character into a char


variable,you must enclose it with SINGLE QUOTE
marks i.e. by ‘ ’.
▪ The double quotes are reserved for string(a collection
of character).
▪ The character that you assign are called as character
constants.
▪ You can assign a char variable an integer, i.e., its
integer value.
‘a’, ‘z’ , ‘A’ , ‘Z’ , ‘?’, ‘@’, ‘0’, ‘9’
- Special Characters: preceded by \
‘\n’, ‘\t’ , ‘\0’, ‘\’’, ‘\\’ etc.
Initialization

▪ Initializing a variable involves assigning(putting in) a value for


the first time. This is done by using the ASSIGNMENT
OPERATOR, denoted by the equals sign,=.

▪ Declaration and initializing can be done on separate lines, or


on one line.

▪ char c=‘x’; or
char c;
c=‘x’
Printing value of char variable

printf( “%c”, a);

This causes the “ %c” to be replaced by value of


character variable a.

printf(“\n %c”, a);

“\n” is a new line character which will print the value of


variable on newline.
Variables and Constants

▪ Variables are like containers in your computer’s


memory-you can store values in them and retrieve or
modify them when necessary

▪ Constants are like variables,but once a value is stored,its


value can not be changed.
Naming Variables
Expressions

▪ Expressions consist of a mixture of constants,variables and


operators .They return values.
▪ Examples are:
– 17
-X*B/C+A
– X+17
Program using character constants
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char a,b,c,d; /* declare char variables*/
char e='o'; /* declare char variable*/
a='H'; /* initialize the rest */
b='e'; /* b=e is incorrect */
c='l'; /* c=“l” is incorrect*/
d=108; /* the ASCII value of l is 108 */
printf("%c%c%c%c%c",a,b,c,d,e);
return 0;
}
