Data Types in C

 Data Type in C Programming

Type of data is know as Data type. int,float,char are example of data type in c

There are two types

1.Primary data type

2.Derived data type.

Primary data types

Integer(int),floating(float),character(char),void are the primary data type

Derived data types

 arrays, functions, structures and pointers are Derived data types.

Integer type

Integers are used to store whole numbers.

Floating type

Floating types are used to store real numbers.

Character type

Character types are used to store characters value.

void type

void type means no value. This is usually used to specify the type of functions.

Syntax/Format of C program

C Programs A C program can vary from 3 lines to millions of lines and it should be written into one or more text files with extension ".c"; for example, hello.c. You can use "vi", "vim" or any other text editor to write your C program into a file. Before we study the basic building blocks of the C programming language, let us look at a bare minimum C program structure so that we can take it as a reference in the upcoming chapters.     Syntax/Format of simple C program main ()  <--------------------- Function name  {  <------------------------------ Start of program         ........         ........  <------------------- Program statement         ........  }  <------------------------------ End of program      Hello World Example A C program basically consists of the following parts − • Preprocessor Commands • Functions • Variables • Sta...

Loops in C programming with example

Loops in C programming with example A loop is used for executing a block of statements repeatedly until a given condition returns false. Example of For loop #include <stdio.h> int main () { int i ; for ( i = 1 ; i <= 3 ; i ++) { printf ( "%d\n" , i ); } return 0 ; } Output: 1 2 3 Nested For Loop in C Nesting of loop is also possible. Lets take an example to understand this: #include <stdio.h> int main () { for ( int i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i ++) { for ( int j = 0 ; j < 4 ; j ++) { printf ( "%d, %d\n" , i , j ); } } return 0 ; } Output: 0 , 0 0 , 1 0 , 2 0 , 3 1 , 0 1 , 1 1 , 2 1 , 3 Example of while loop #include <stdio.h> int main () { int count = 1 ; while ( count <= 4 ) { printf ( "%d " , count ); count ++; } return 0 ; } Output: 1 2 3 4 Example of while loop using logical operator In this example...

IMPORTANCE OF C

IMPORTANCE OF C The increasing popularity of C is probably due to its many desirable qualities. It is a robust language whose rich set of built-in functions and operators can be used to write any complex program. The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the features of a high-level language and therefore it is well suited for writing both system software and business packages. In fact, many of the C compilers available in the market are written in C.     Programs written in C are eficient and fast. This is due to its variety of data types and powerful operators. It is many times faster than BASIC. For example, a program to increment a variable from O to 15000 takes about one second in C while it takes more than 50 seconds in an interpreter BASIC.     There are only 32 keywords in ANSI C and its strength lies in its built-in functions. Several standard functions are available which can be used for developing program    C...
