C Programming Cheat Sheet for Quick Revision

1. Basic Syntax
 Header: #include <stdio.h>
 Main Function: int main() { return 0; }
 Comments: // Single-line or /* Multi-line */

2. Data Types & Variables


 Basic: int, float, char, double
 Example: int a = 10; float b = 5.5; char c = 'A';

3. Operators
 Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %
 Relational: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
 Logical: &&, ||, !
 Bitwise: &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>

4. Control Structures
 If-else:

if (a > b) { printf("A is greater"); } else { printf("B is greater");


}

 Switch:

switch(choice) {
case 1: printf("One"); break;
default: printf("Other");
}

 Loops:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { printf("%d", i); }


while (x > 0) { x--; }
do { y++; } while (y < 5);

5. Functions
 Declaration: int add(int a, int b);
 Definition:

int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

 Call: int sum = add(5, 3);

6. Arrays & Strings


 Array: int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
 String: char str[] = "Hello";

7. Pointers
 Declaration: int *p;
 Assignment: int x = 10; p = &x;
 Dereferencing: printf("%d", *p);

8. Structures
struct Student {
char name[20];
int age;
};
struct Student s1 = {"John", 20};

9. File Handling
FILE *fptr = fopen("file.txt", "r");
if (fptr != NULL) { fclose(fptr); }

10. Memory Allocation


 malloc(), calloc(), free()

int *ptr = (int*)malloc(5 * sizeof(int));


free(ptr);

11. Important Functions


 Input/Output: scanf(), printf()
 String: strcpy(), strlen(), strcmp()
 Math: sqrt(), pow() (Add #include <math.h>)

12. Common Errors to Avoid


 Uninitialized variables
 Array out-of-bounds
 Dangling pointers
 Memory leaks
