OPERATORS AND CONTROL STATEMENT

 compilation
2

 C is a high-level language.

 Writing a C code. {editors like gedit, vi}

 Compiling a C code. {gcc –c test.c –o test}

 Executing the object code. {./test}

 Some more basics
3

 Keywords
 char, static, if , while, return ..................... Total= about 32

 Data Types
 int , char, float,
 Double, char
 Arithmetic Operators
 + (Plus), - (Minus), *
(Multiplication),
/(Division),(Modulus) %
 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:”, 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() {
int a = 4; //first number
int b = 5; //second number
int sum;
Scanf(“%d”,&a);
Scanf(“%d”,&b);
sum= a + b;
Printf(“the sum=%d”,sum);
}

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
10

 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
11
 Some more Arithmetic Operators
12

 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;
 Example 1
13

int main( )
{

int x=10;

printf(x++)=? What will be printed here?

printf(x)=? What will be printed here?

}
 Example 2
14

int main( )
{

int x=10;

printf(++x)=? What will be printed here?

printf(x)=? What will be printed here?

}
 Contd…
15

 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…
16

 Comparision Operators: <, > , <=, >= , !=, ==, !,

&&, || .
 example:
 int a=4, b=5;
 a<b returns a true(non zero number) value.
The Relational Operators, Assume variable A holds 10 and
variable B holds 20
The Logical Operators
The Assignment Operators
 Operator Precedence
20

 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
22

 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.
%s The string format specifier.
 Some more geek stuff
23

 & in scanf.
 Itis 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
 Typecasting
24

 Converting an expression of a given type into

another type is known as type-casting .
typecasting is more use in c language
programming.
 Example
25

int main( )
{
int value1 = 10, value2 = 3;
float result;
result = (float)value1 / value2;
printf("Result with type casting: %f", result);
return 0;
}
 Decision control Statement
26

 In decision control statements (if-else and

nested if), group of statements are executed
when condition is true. If condition is false, then
else part statements are executed.

 There are 3 types of decision making control

statements in C language. They are,
27

 if statements
 if else statements
 nested if statements
 the if statement
28
 Example
29

int main()
{
int m=40,
int n=40;
if (m == n)
{
printf("m and n are equal");
}
}
 The if else statement
30
 Example
31

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int m=40,n=20;
if (m == n)
{
printf("m and n are equal");
}
else
{
printf("m and n are not equal");
}
}
 The nested if
32
 Example
33

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int m=40,n=20;
if (m>n) {
printf("m is greater than n");
}
else if(m<n) {
printf("m is less than n");
}
else {
printf("m is equal to n");
}}
 Exercise 1: what would be the output of the following
programs
34

(a) main( )
{
int x = 10, y = 20 ;
if ( x == y ) ;
printf ( "\n%d %d", x, y ) ;
}

(b) main( )
{
int x = 3, y = 5 ;
if ( x == 3 )
printf ( "\n%d", x ) ;
else ;
printf ( "\n%d", y ) ;
}
35

(c) main( )
{
int x = 3 ;
float y = 3.0 ;
if ( x == y )
printf ( "\nx and y are equal" ) ;
else
printf ( "\nx and y are not equal" ) ;
}
36

 (d)main( )
{
int i = 65 ;
char j = ‘A’ ;
if ( i == j )
printf ( “C is WOW” ) ;
else
printf( "C is a headache" ) ;
}
 Exercise 2
37

 Any integer is input through the keyboard. Write

a program to find out whether it is an odd
number or even number.
 Exercise 3
38

 Write a program in C that uses double variables

to compute the area of a circle. The user will
enter the radius and pi from the keyboard.
 Exercise 4
39

 If the ages of Mr.X, Mr.Y and Mr.Z are input

through the keyboard, write a program to
determine the youngest of the three.
 Exercise 5
40

 The marks obtained by a student in 5 different

subjects are input through the keyboard. The
student gets a
division as per the following rules:
Percentage above or equal to 60 - First division
Percentage between 50 and 59 - Second division
Percentage between 40 and 49 - Third division
Percentage less than 40 – Fail
 Note: use your know of if-else condition
