Preprocessor Directives
Preprocessor directives start with #e.g. #include copies a file into the source code
before compilation
2 forms…..we will usually see the first#include <systemFilename>#include “undefinedFilename”Within “ ” : personal file in your own directory
4
We will almost always use #include <stdio.h>
• stdio.h is the standard input/output header• Contains code required for I/O (Input/Output)• .h files are header files
Includes header ; The .obj part on LinkingNO code is generally included except on linking
• Header files contain definitions
The function : main()
ALL Programs must have a main() function.
Later we will have add other functions.Different Formats:main( )int main (void ) ***The book likes thisvoid main(void)int main( )
5
main( ) , void main(void)End with return;
**************************int main (void ) , int main( )End with return 0;
Back To Our First Program
6
VariablesA Variable is a block of memory that stores data.
A variable has a particular “Type”, i.e. it stores a particular kind of data
A variable is named with an appropriate Identifier (or Name)
Suppose we have a variable declared as follows:
int number_of_days
This reserves a block of memory which holds an integer
7
Schematic view:
number_of_days
In the course of the program we might want to change the value in the variable. So that later we might want:
number_of_days
365
7361
• The “actual” view of memory: 4 bytes
number_of_days 01100000 110010101001010000100111
So a variable takes a fixed number of bytes in memory
8
Rules for Naming Variables
1. First character: alphabetic or underscore
2. Consist only of alphanumeric or underscores
3. Only first 31 characters count
4. Cannot duplicate a reserved word
Legal/Illegal Variable Names
Use meaningful names
$sum2namesstdnt numberint
astudent_namesalarytime_of_day
IllegalLegal

Standard C Data Types
Primitive C Data Types
float (4 bytes)double (8 bytes)long double (10 bytes)
floating point
short int (1 or 2 byte)int (2 or 4 bytes)long int (4 or 8 bytes)
unsigned short int (1 byte)unsigned int (2 or 4 bytes)unsigned long int (4 or 8 bytes)
integer
char (1 byte)character
voidvoid
C-ImplementationData Type

Variables : Declaration
Variables : InitializationHow we put a value in a variable
• At compile time in the declaration:
e.g. int x=5;
• At run time by an assignment:
e.g. x =5;
• At run time by an input statement:
e.g.scanf(“%d”,&x);
11
No variable is initialized until you do so!
You can initialize a variable in the declaration
char code = ‘B’;char letter = ‘B’;int i = 0;int age = 65;float pie = 3.1415;float salary 27.57;double variable2 = 3.1415926535;
Special Characters
’\v’Vertical Tab
’\n’Newline
’\t’Horizontal tab
’\b’Backspace
’\a’Alert (bell)
’\0’Null characterSymbolic NameASCII Character
12
Special Characters
’\\’Backslash
’\”’Double Quote
’\’’Single quote
’\r’Carriage return
’\f’Form FeedSymbolic NameASCII Character
Strings : Constants
13
Preprocessing : #defineDefines constants
#define name token
Replaces the name with the token
Example:#define PI 3.1415926535#define SIZE 1000
Syntax for Define : #define
• No equals sign
• No semicolon at the end
14
Constants
To define a constant define a “variable” (usually, U.C.)with keyword:const
This is how it works:const float PI = 3.1415926;
This does NOT work:const float PI;PI = 3.1415926; /* not allowed to change it */
May be collected into a header file for general use
Standard Input and Output
15
To OUTPUT you require
#include <stdio.h>
printf(format string, data list);
Field specifiers are inside the format stringi.e. Controls how the data looks when printed
Standard printf statements#include <stdio.h>void main( )/* This codes prints the values of two variables */
{ int a = 57;int b = 145;
printf( "%d\n%d\n", a,b);return;
}
16
What happened?The statementsint a = 57; a 57int b = 145; b 145
The statement
printf( "%d\n%d\n", a , b);
prints: 57
145
Field Specifiers%<flag><minimum width><precision><size>code
Codes:
%Lflong doublefL%fdoublefnone%ffloatfnone
%Ldlong intdl or L%dintdnone%hdshort intdh%ccharcnone

Specification of Width
123451234512345
1234 12341234
123 123123
12 1212
%4d%dValue
Precision specification for floats:
%7.2f
/* this prints the float in a field of seven characters with two characters after decimal: nnnn.dd */
18
Another Example of printf#include <stdio.h>int main()/* This codes prints the values of two variables */
{ int months = 9;float salary = 145.35;printf( "%d\n%7.2f\n", months , salary);return 0;
}
Another Example of printf#include <stdio.h>int main( )/* This codes prints the values of two variables */{ int months = 9;
float salary = 145.35;printf( "the number of months is%4d\nthe salary is%7.2f\n", months,salary);return 0;
}
19
The output
the number of months is 9the salary is 145.35
Input: Getting information into memory: (reading)
Requires: #include <stdio.h>
scanf(format string, address list);
Again : Field specifiers inside the format string
20
Standard scanf Statements
scanf(format string, address list);
scanf(“%d%f”, &age, &weight);
At keyboard type 23 60.75
Result: weightage 23
60.75

Rules for scanf formats
Addresses of a variable are specified with:&variableName
A variety of rules apply to conversion
Rules for scanf formats
1. Initial whitespace is ignored (except %c)2. The conversion operation process until:
i. End of file is reachedii. Maximum characters are processediii. A whitespace character is found after a digitiv. An error is detected
22
Rules for scanf format strings
1. A field specifier for each variable
2. Other characters must be exactly matched
3. Cannot end format string with whitespace
Examples of scanf
scanf(“%d%d%d%c”,&a,&b,&c,&d);
scanf(“%d%d%d %c”,&a,&b,&c,&d);
scanf(“%-8d%-8d%d”,&a,&b,&c);%-8d /* left justify flag */
23
Working with the variables:
We want to operate on variables: e.g add two variables or subtract them.
An Expression: rateOfPay*hours – tax
Operatorse.g., + plus
- minus * multiply/ divide% mod
You create expressions out of operators.
24
Some Expressions352 * 3 + 423 + b * 6-salary
Use parenthesis to clarify complicated expressions:
(food + drinks)*(1+gst+pst)
AssignmentAssignment expressions evaluate to the expression on
the right of the assignment operator.
25
Simple Assignment
x=11x=y%4510
x=22x=x/y510
x = 77x=y+2510

Operator Precedence
Operators have a built in order of precedence which is over ridden by using parenthesis
1+2*3+4 answer 111*2 + 3*5 answer 17-5*6+2 answer -28
26
Operators precedence (on the same level they are
equal)
1. ( ) takes precedence2. unary minus -7 unary plus +3 3. * Multiply / Divide 4 % Modulus5. + add - subtract
Examples Operators• Examples of C statements using these :• The following is a program fragment only• int i, j ,k, l, m;• i = j + k; • i = j + k * l / m; • /* Here i gets the value j + (k*l/m) */• i = j * k + l * m • /* Here i gets the value (j*k) + (l*m) */
27
Examples Operators
• Examples of C statements using these :• There is one division operator for integer
and float but it means different things.• 2 / 5 → 0• 2.0 / 5.0 → 0.4• % is the modulus (remainder) operation• 5 % 2 → 1• 2 % 5 → 2
Unary operator + and -
+a – evaluates to the contents of a
-a – evaluates to the negative contents of a

Unary operator ++ and --
Post-increment and decrement i++ i--
/*First use the value ; then do operation*/
Pre-increment and decrement ++i --i
/*First do operation; then use the value */
29
Unary operator ++ and --Examples for int i , j , k;• i=1;• i++; /* i → 2 */• j = i++ ; /*j → 2 and then i → 3• j =++i ; /* i → 4 and then j → 4• j = i-- /* j → 4 and then i → 3• Note that i++ and i=i+1 are equivalent• Note that i-- and i=i-1 are equivalent
Binary Compound OperatorsOften a variable is changed as follows :• i = i + 5; /* Take the value of i add 5 and
put the result back into the variable i*/.Leads to new assignment operators
+= -= *= /= %=• i = i + 1; same as i += 1;• j = j * k; same as j *= k ;
30
Compound Assignment
x = 00x %= y510
x = 1515x += y510
x = 55x -= y510
x = 22x /= y510
x = 5050x *= y510

A Simple Program#include <stdio.h>int main( void ) {
double x, y,z ;printf("Pls. input two real numbers:\n") ;scanf("%f%f",&x,&y);z = x + y;printf("x=%6.2f y=%6.2f z= %6.3f \n",x,y,z);
return(0);}
31
A Simple ProgramThe OUTPUT>Please input two real numbers:23.4 45.6x= 23.40 y= 45.60 z=69.000
/* A simple program to average 3 numbers*/#include <stdio.h>int main(void){ float number1,number2,number3,sum,average;
printf("\n Please enter number1. ");scanf("%f",&number1);printf("\n Please enter number2. ");scanf("%f",&number2);printf("\n Please enter number3. ");scanf("%f",&number3);sum = number1+number2+number3;average = sum/3.0;printf("\nthe sum of %f %f and %f is= %f",number1,number2,number3, sum);printf("\nthe average is = %f\n",average);return 0;
}
32
Whats the problem with the previous program?
What if you wanted to average 50 numbers?
It would be very clumsy to repeat 50 times.
Also you have to change the program each time you have a different number of numbers.
Program to calculate tax on a bill
First you have to know the facts.Subtotal = food and drinkPST = 0.08GST =0.06Tax = subtotal (PST+GST)Total = subtotal + tax
33
/* A simple program calculate restaurant bill: input: food and drink amountsoutput: subtotal, tax, total bill*/
#include <stdio.h>#define PST 0.08#define GST 0.06int main(void) {
float food,drink,sum,total,tax;printf("\n Please enter food total. ");scanf("%f",&food);printf("\n Please enter drink total. ");scanf("%f",&drink);sum = food + drink;tax = sum*(GST +PST);total= sum+tax;printf("\nthe food total is $%6.2f ",food);printf("\nthe drink total is $%6.2f ",drink);printf("\n =====");printf("\nthe subtotal is $%6.2f ",sum);printf("\nthe tax is $%6.2f ",tax);printf("\n =====");printf("\nthe total is $%6.2f\n\n ",total);return 0;
}
Whats the problem with the previous program?
The rule is not right. If the subtotal is less than $3.00 the no GST
So we need decision possibility
So we need “CONTROL STRUCTURES”
34
Unary Operator sizeof
sizeof is an operator. It is NOT a function
Evaluates to number of bytes for that item
sizeof(int)sizeof(x)sizeof(3.256)
