C Language Introduction Languages : A Set Of Statements Is Called A Language.There Are Four Types Of Languages According To Their Time.

I generation languages: these languages are machine languages. To write programs in these languages the system technology must be required. The data is Non-portable. That means a program written in a system does not work in another systems.

Ii Generation Languages :These Are Assembly Languages. These Are Also system oriented that means to write any program in a system that system’s technology must be required and data is non-portable. But they used MNEMONIC words in programs. That means they used a single word instead of more words.

III Generation Languages :In these languages programs are witten in

general english language.There is no need to know the system technology and the data can be transfered anywhere.

IV Generation languages :These languages are defined in any one of the above languages.These are also called as packages. Here I & II Generation languages are called Low Level Languages and III & IV generation languages are called High Level Languages. For high level languages we have to use translaters to translate the source code written in general english language into machine language. These translaters are two types. 1) Interpreters, 2) Compilers. 1) Interpreters :These translaters translate the source code step by step into machine language until any error. If there is any error it stops and shows some message. After correction it can continue. Ex: BASIC, DBase III+, ....

2) Compilers :These translaters translate the entire source code into machine language when it is error-free and creates an object file in machine language. If there is any error it shows the list of error. After debugging it creates the object file.

Ex: COBOL, C, C++, ...

C LANGUAGE The language ‘C’ was designed by Dennis Ritchie at AT & T Bell Laboratories. The standardised C was released in 1979.

The ‘C’ language is used to develop i) ii) iii) iv) v)

Scientific applications, Business applications, Graphical applications (Ex: WINDOWS ), System programs, Operating Systems (Ex: UNIX) , ...

Character Set : alphabets

constants,

statements,

digits ==> variables, ==> special symbols keywords

==> Programs instructions

Constants : The unchangeable quantities are called Constants.The constants are generally two types. 1) Character constants :

a) Characters Ex: ‘a’, ‘5’, ‘+’, ‘ ‘, ... b) Strings Ex: “abc”, “435”, ‘rama”, ... 2) Numeric Constants : a) integers Ex: 435, -657, 65535, -32768,... b) Real numbers i) Fractional form Ex: 435.67, 345.00054, ... ii) Exponential form Ex: 0.02e3, 1.17e-38, ... Variables : The quantities which can be changed during the execution of program are called Variables. A variable can be considered as the name of the cell which can hold the constants. To use any variable it must be declared with its data type before the first executable statement and they can be initialised. Naming the variable is very important. 1) The variable name must be start with either alphabets or an underscore and may contain alphabets, digits, hyphen or underscore. 2) The maximum length of a variable is 8 characters. But some compilers can accept upto 32 characters. 3) There must not be any blank spaces or special symbols in a variable name. 4) A variable name must not be a keyword.

Ex:

valid eno empname emp-name

invlid emp name emp(name 45abc

Keywords : These are predefined words. There are 32 keywords in C language. These keywords can not be used as user-defined variables.

Operators : There are 42 operators in C language.

-31) Arithmetic Operators :

+ - *

/ %

Ex: 100 + 40 ==> 140 100 - 40 ==> 60 100 * 40 ==> 4000 100 / 40 ==> 2 100 % 40 ==> 20 40 % 100 ==> 40

2) Assigning Operators : = (variable) = (constant) / (variable) / (expression) ; Ex: a = 5 b=a c = a + b -2 3) Multiple operators :

+=

-= *= /= %=

Ex: a = a + 3 ==> a += 3 a = a - 3 ==> a -= 3 a = a * 3 ==> a *= 3 a = a / 3 ==> a /= 3 a = a % 3 ==> a %= 3 4) Unary Operators :

++

--

Ex :

a = a + 1 ==> a += 1 ==> a ++ ==> ++ a a = a - 1 ==> a -= 1 ==> a -- ==> -- a 5) Relational Operators : 6) Logical Operators :

== &&

Structure of a ‘C’ program : preprocessor commands global declarations main()

< >= Console Input Output ) Syntax : clrscr(); 2) printf() :-

This function is used to display the text and the values of variables. This function’s prototype has defined in the header file STDIO.H To display the variable’s value the format string must be used. ( STDIO ==> Standard Input Output ) Syntax : printf(“ format string “, variables) ; Ex : printf(“ Hello \t World “); printf(“ %d %c”, k, j); printf(“The marks are %d, %d, %d”, m1, m2, m3 ); Note : The function printf() returns an integer value that is the number of arguments given to the statement.

-6Remarks :To write any remarks or comments to the statements they must be enclosed with the symbols Ex :

/* sdfjkshadjfsdjkafkjsadjkfhkasdj sdafhasdfhgasdhfgasdgfgasdfhasdfj sdafjksadfjasdkhfjasdhkfjhksda

*/ Ex Programs : 1)

/* My First ‘C’ Program */ # include # include main() { clrscr() ; printf(“Hello” ); printf(“Bhanodaya “) ; printf(“Welcome “) ; } /* Save this program (F2) as FIRST.C After compilation(Alt-F9) it creates an object file, and an executable file which can be executed at MS-DOS prompt. By saving a modified file it creates a backup file. FIRST.C FIRST.BAK FIRST.OBJ FIRST.EXE Output : Hello Bhanodaya Welcome */

TURBO C editor : It is a compiler of C program and it can be also used as an general editor. To enter into editor first change into the directory which contains the software and enter the command TC at the command prompt. C:\> CD TC C:\TC> tc Then it opens the editor which contains a menu bar at the top, a status bar at the bottom and a main window to write the programming statements and a sub window which shows the messages. The menu bar contains some menu pads and they can be selected by pressing ALT and the highlighted character in the required menu pad. Then it shows the submenu which contains some bars and they can be selected using arrow keys. The status bar shows online help and the keys information. 1) To write a new program select ‘New’ command from “File” menu. 2) To save the working program select ‘Save’ command from “File” menu or press F2 and enter a name. 3) To compile the program select ‘Compile to OBJ’ command from “compile” menu or press Alt + F9. Then it shows the list of errors or warnings. If the program is error-free then the compiler creates an object file (.OBJ) and an executable file (.EXE). 4) To execute the program select ‘Run’ command from “Run” menu or press Ctrl + F9. 5) To seee the output of the execution select ‘User Screen’ command from “Run” menu or press Alt + F5. 6) To close the editor select ‘Quit’ command from “File” menu or press Alt + X.

Notes : scanf() : This function is used to accept the values for the variables while executing the program from keyboard. This function’s prototype has defined in the header file STDIO.H The function printf() returns an integer value that is the number of arguments given to the statement. Syntax: scanf(“formatstring” , &(variables) ); Note : To accept two or more values with a single scanf() they can be seperated by space or tab or enter key. Ex : i)

int a; scanf(“%d”, &a);

ii) int m1, m2, m3; scanf(“%d%d%d”, &m1, &m2, &m3); iii) char ch; scanf(“%c”, &ch); getch() : This function is used to accept a single character for the variable while executing the program. But this function does not display the entered character. This function’s prototype has defined in the header file CONIO.H Note : To see the entered character the function getche() can be Used. Syntax: (variable) = getch() ; Ex : char c; c = getch();

11) /* Write a program to accept an employee’s basic salary, calculate da, hra, pf, net salary and print all */ Notes : Conditional Statements : In C language the conditional statement returns zero when the condition is false. Otherwise it returns a non-zero(1) value when the condition is true. Ex Program : 12) # include # include main() {
