VARIABLES EXAMPLES
Dr. Badria Nabil
Assignment 3
2

 Write a C++ program that takes three numbers


from the user and calculates the sum and the
average of them and print the sum and the
average to user.
Assignment Solution
3
Incrementing and Decrementing
Values
 The ++/-- operator increments/decrements by 1:

int var1 = 3;
var1++; // var1 now equals 4
Var1--; // var1 now equals 2
 The ++/-- operators can be used in two ways:

int var1 = 3, var2 = 0;


var2 = ++var1; // Prefix: var2=4 Increment var1 first,
// then assign to var2.
var2 = var1++; // Postfix: var2= 3 Assign to var2 first,
// then increment var1.
Increment & Decrement Operators
5

 Increment operator: increment variable by 1


 Pre-increment: ++variable
 Post-increment: variable++

 Decrement operator: decrement variable by 1


 Pre-decrement: --variable
 Post-decrement: variable--

 What is the difference between the following?


x = 5; x = 5;
y = ++x; y = x++;

Examining Compound Assignments

 An assignment operator can be combined with


any conventional binary operator:

double total=0, num = 1;


double percentage = 0.50;
…
total = total + num; // total is now 1
total += num; // total is now 2
total -= num; // total is now 1
total *= percentage; // total is now .5
Allocating Memory with Constants
7

 Named constant: memory location whose content


can’t change during execution
 The syntax to declare a named constant is:

 In C++, const is a reserved word

Convert Length
 Write a program that takes as input a given length
expressed in feet and inches
 Convert and output the length in centimeters
 One inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters

 One feet is equal to 12 inches

Programming Example: Convert
9
Length (continued)
 The algorithm is as follows:
 Get the length in feet and inches
 Convert the length into total inches

 Convert total inches into centimeters

 Output centimeters

Programming Example: Variables

and Constants
 Variables
int feet; //variable to hold given feet
int inches; //variable to hold given inches
int totalInches; //variable to hold total inches
double centimeters; //variable to hold length in
//centimeters

 Named Constant
const double CENTIMETERS_PER_INCH = 2.54;
const int INCHES_PER_FOOT = 12;

Programming Example: Sample Run
12

Enter two integers, one for feet, one for inches: 15 7

The numbers you entered are 15 for feet and 7 for inches.
The total number of inches = 187
The number of centimeters = 474.98
