3 DATA TYPES and PLACEHOLDERS

Some common datatypes are:

int - integer
char - character
long - long integer
float - float number
double - long float

use scanf to take input from the user scanf("Format string",&variable,&variable,...);

Placeholders Format
%c Character
%d Signed decimal integer
%i Signed decimal integer
%e Scientific notation[e]
%E Scientific notation[E]
%f Decimal floating point
%o unsigned octal
%s String of character
%u unsigned decimal integer
%x unsigned Hexadecimal (lower)
%X unsigned Hexadecimal (upper)
%p dispaly a pointer
%% print a %

ESCAPE SEQUENCES

\a - Bell \n - New line \r - Carriage return \b - Backspace \f - Formfeed \t - Horizontal tab " - Quotation mark \v - Vertical tab ' - Apostrophe \ - Backslash ? - Question mark \0 - Null

6 IF-ELSE STATEMENT

if(flag) {
   // put some statements here to execute if flag is true (flag != 0)
} 
if(flag) {
   // put some statements here to execute if flag is true (flag != 0)
} else {
   // put some statements here to execute if flag is false (flag == 0)
}

7 SWITCH-CASE STATEMENT

switch(flag) {
    case 0:  // statements
   	break;
    case 1:  // statements
  	break;
    case 2:  // statements
  	break;
    default:  // statements
}

8 WHILE LOOP

//for single statement  
while(expression) 
    statement;

//for multiple statement   
while(expression) 
{ 
    block of statement 
}

9 FOR LOOP

for ( initialization; test condition; run every time command )

eg:
int i;
for (i =0;i<3;i++):
    printf("%d",&i);
will give 012 as output

10 DO-WHILE STATEMENT

do
{
    statements;
}while (expression);

11 BREAK CONTINUE STATEMENT

  • break statement is used to terminate the current loop the moves to the next line of the code.
  • continue statement skips the current loop index and moves to the next iteration.

###12 GOTO syntax of goto is as follows: goto label; .. . label: statement; example: int a = 10; /* do loop execution */ LOOP:do {

  if( a == 15) {
     /* skip the iteration */
     a = a + 1;
     goto LOOP;
  }
	
  printf("value of a: %d\n", a);
  a++;

}while( a < 20 ); will give the output to be: value of a: 10 value of a: 11 value of a: 12 value of a: 13 value of a: 14 value of a: 16 value of a: 17 value of a: 18 value of a: 19

12 ARRAYS

  1. Declaraction:

typeof_array array_name[size];

Eg:
int arr[10]; // makes an integer array of size 10
int num[6] = { 2, 4, 12, 5, 45, 5 } ; 
2)Accessing Elements:
int k=arr[2]; //k stores the element at index 2 of the array
3)Entering data:
for(i =0;i<3;i++){
  scanf("%d", &arr[i]); // takes the values in the array arr by the user
}

### 13 STRINGS

1)Declaraction:

char string_name[size]; scanf("%s",string_nam);


- A string has '\0' as the last element which tells the end of string
- It is accessed in the same way as an array
- A string is in many ways similar to array

2. Some basic built-in fucntions of strings

> Just include string.h at the top of your code

strlen - Finds length of a string strlwr - Converts a string to lowercase strupr - Converts a string to uppercase strcat - Appends one string at the end of another strncat - Appends first n characters of a string at the end of another strcpy - Copies a string into another strncpy - Copies first n characters of one string into another strcmp - Compares two strings strncmp - Compares first n characters of two strings strcmpi - Compares two strings without regard to case ("i" denotes that this function ignores case) stricmp - Compares two strings without regard to case (identical to strcmpi) strnicmp - Compares first n characters of two strings without regard to case strdup - Duplicates a string strchr - Finds first occurrence ofa given character in a string strrchr - Finds last occurrence ofa given character in a string strstr - Finds first occurrence of a given string in another string strset - Sets all characters ofstring to a given character strnset - Sets first n characters ofa string to a given character strrev - Reverses string


### 13 STRUCTURE 
	
- A structure is a user defined data type in C/C++. A structure creates a data type that can be used to group items of possibly different types into a single type. 

>‘struct’ keyword is used to create a structure. Following is an example.

struct addrress { char name[50]; char street[100]; char city[50]; char state[20]; int pin; };
