Lecture 2 introduction to Programming languages C.pptx
- 1. Survey of Programming Languages Introduction to C-Language Lecture 2
- 2. Levels of Programming Languages There are 3 levels of programming languages i) High-Level Language ii) Middle-Level Language iii) Low-Level Language
- 3. A First Program (C ) #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("This is my first C program.n"); return(0); } statements header open and close braces mark the beginning and end makes input and output available to us
- 4. A First Program – What Does It Do? printf("This is my first C program.n"); return(0); Prints the message This is my first C program. Ends the program Ends the line
- 5. White Space Characters •The character that produces blank space when printed is called a white space character, e.g. •Spaces •Tabs •New Lines
- 7. Data types and Sizes •There are three main data types in C/C++ i) Character char ii) Integer int iii) Floating Point float
- 8. Character data type • Represented by char • used for storing a character, digit or special character. • A character constant must be enclosed in single quotations i.e. ‘A’, ‘1’ or ‘*’ etc. • uses/occupies one byte( 8 bits) of memory. • character constant can be signed or unsigned.
- 9. Character data type •There are 3 types of character data type, i.e. char, signed char and unsigned char. e.g. •char age means signed char •signed char code means signed char •unsigned char value means unsigned char •The value range of binary numbers in: •Char -128 to 127 or 0 to 255 •signed char is from -128 to +127 •unsigned char is from 0 to 255
- 10. Integer data type •Integer data type is represented by int •used for storing Integers, i.e. numeric values without decimal portions. •RANGE: Store a value ranging from -32,768 to + 32,767 •MEMORY: 2 bytes of memory •Integer data type is also represented as •Short •long
- 11. Integer data types int 2 or 4 bytes -32,768 to 32,767 or - 2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 short 2 bytes -32,768 to 32,767 long 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 Type Storage size Value Range
- 12. Integer data type •Another int type is signed int which is used to store sign too along with the numeric value. •Another int type is unsigned int which is used to store values without sign •So, there are 9 types of Integer data types, i.e. int, short, signed int, unsigned int, signed short, unsigned short, long, signed long and unsigned long e.g.
- 13. Type Storage size Value range char 1 byte -128 to 127 or 0 to 255 unsigned char 1 byte 0 to 255 signed char 1 byte -128 to 127 int 2 or 4 bytes -32,768 to 32,767 or -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 unsigned int 2 or 4 bytes 0 to 65,535 or 0 to 4,294,967,295 short 2 bytes -32,768 to 32,767 unsigned short 2 bytes 0 to 65,535 long 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 unsigned long 4 bytes 0 to 4,294,967,295
- 14. Examples •int a; means signed int •signed int b; means signed int •unsigned int c; means unsigned int •short d; means signed short •signed short e; means signed short •unsigned short f; means unsigned short •long g; means signed long •signed long h; means signed long •unsigned long I; means unsigned long
- 15. Float data type •Float data type is represented by float and is used for storing numeric values •Means fraction or decimal portion. •Float data type takes 4 bytes of memory. • A floating point number is expressed in scientific notation. •The reason of storing float values in scientific notation is that they can be very large or extremely small.
- 16. Float data type •2000000000000000 = 2e+15 •0.00000000000023 = 2.3e-13 •A value written as 47e3 means 47 x 10^3 •Exponent value ranges from -38 to +38, i.e. 47x10^- 38 to 47x10^+38 •Another float type is double that takes 8 bytes of memory. •Exponent values in double ranges from -308 to + 308, i.e. 47x10-308 to 47x10+308
- 17. Data types Name Description Size* Range* char Character or small integer. 1byte signed: -128 to 127 unsigned: 0 to 255 short int (short) Short Integer. 2bytes signed: -32768 to 32767 unsigned: 0 to 65535 int Integer. 2bytes signed: -32768 to 32767 unsigned: 0 to 65535 long int (long) Long integer. 4bytes signed: -2147483648 to 2147483647 unsigned: 0 to 4294967295 bool Boolean value. It can take one of two values: true or false. 1byte true or false float Floating point number. 4bytes +/- 3.4e +/- 38 (~7 digits) double Double precision floating point number. 8bytes +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15 digits) long double Long double precision floating point number. 8bytes +/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15 digits)
- 18. Practice • char myGrade = 'B'; • char a = 65, b = 66, c = 67; • string greeting = "Hello"; • float f1 = 35e3; • double d1 = 12E4; • bool isCodingFun = true; • bool isFishTasty = false;
