L02 - Variables, Data Types

The lecture covers variables and data types in C programming, explaining variable declaration, initialization, and the rules for naming variables. It details the three basic data types: integers, floating points, and characters, along with case sensitivity in variable names. Additionally, it includes a simple program example to add two numbers and the use of format specifiers for input and output operations.

Variables are named memory locations
that have a type, such as integer, float and
character

Data Types
C has three basic predefined data types:
• Integers (whole numbers)
– int, long int, short int, unsigned int
• Floating point (real numbers)
– float, double
• Characters
– char
Case Sensitivity
• C is case sensitive
– It matters whether an identifier, such as a
variable name, is uppercase or lowercase.
– Example:
area
Area
AREA
ArEa
are all seen as different variables by the
compiler.

Format specifiers start with a percentage % operator

Format Specifier

• Format specifiers in C are used for input and


output purposes.
• Format specifier starts with a percentage % sign.
• Using format specifier the compiler can
understand that what type of data is in input and
output operation.

%d Integer Format Specifier
%f Float Format Specifier
%c Character Format Specifier
%s String Format Specifier
%u Unsigned Integer Format Specifier
