I – PROGRAMMING in C and C++ SBSA1102 SCHOOL OF COMPUTING DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING UNIT – I – PROGRAMMING IN C and C++ SBSA1102 PROGRAMMING IN C and C++ UNIT – I BASIC OF C PROGRAMMING INTRODUCTION TO C • C is a procedural programming language. • It was initially developed by Dennis Ritchie in the year 1972. • It was mainly developed as a system programming language to write an operating system. FEATURES OF C • It is a robust language with rich set of built-in functions and operators that can be used to write any complex program. • The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with features of a high-level language. • Programs Written in C are efficient and fast. This is due to its variety of data type and powerful operators. • It is many time faster than BASIC. • C is highly portable this means that programs once written can be run on another machines with little or no modification. • Another important feature of C program, is its ability to extend itself. • A C program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by C library. We can also create our own function and add it to C library. • C language is the most widely used language in operating systems and embedded system development today. STRUCTURE OF A C PROGRAM HEADER FILE # include<stdio.h> Main ( ) int main( ) { Variable Declaration int a = 10; Body of program printf (“%d”, a); Return return 0; } HEADER FILE • The first and foremost component is the inclusion of header file. It is a file with extension .h • Example : stdio.h define input and output function • Syntax : # include MAIN METHOD • The next part of C program is to declare the main ( ) function • Syntax : int main ( ) { } VARIABLE DECLARATION • The next part of any C program is variable declaration. • It refers to variables that are to be used in function • Syntax : int main ( ) { int a ; ….. BODY OF THE PROGRAM • It refers to the operation that are performed in functions • Syntax: Int main ( ) { Int a; Printf (“%d”, a); …. RETURN STATEMENT • This is last part in any C program in return statement • It refers to returning of statement of values from function • Syntax: C - DATA TYPES • The data-type in a programming language is the collection of data with values having fixed meaning as well as characteristics. Some of them are an integer, floating point, character, etc. • A data-type in C programming is a set of values and is determined to act on those values. • C provides various types of data-types which allow the programmer to select the appropriate type for the variable to set its value. C DATA TYPES ARE USED TO • Identify the type of a variable when it declared. • Identify the type of the return value of a function. • Identify the type of a parameter expected by a function. C PROVIDES THREE TYPES OF DATA TYPES • Primary(Built-in) Data Types: void, int, char, double and float. • Derived Data Types: Array, References, and Pointers. • User Defined Data Types: Structure, Union, and Enumeration. PRIMARY (BUILT-IN) DATA TYPES DERIVED DATA TYPES USER DEFINED DATA TYPES • C allows the feature called type definition which allows programmers to define their identifier that would represent an existing data type. There are three such types: C – TOKENS • The compiler breaks a program into the smallest possible units and proceeds to the various stages of the compilation, which is called token. IDENTIFIERS • Identifiers are names given to different names given to entities such as constants, variables, structures, functions etc. Rules for Identifiers • An identifier can only have alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9) (i.e. letters & digits) and underscore( _ ) symbol. • Identifier names must be unique • The first character must be an alphabet or underscore. • You cannot use a keyword as identifiers. • Only first thirty-one (31) characters are significant. • Must not contain white spaces. • Identifiers are case-sensitive. KEYWORDS • The C Keywords must be in your information because you cannot use them as a variable name. CONSTANTS • Constants are like a variable, except that their value never changes during execution once defined. • C Constants is the most fundamental and essential part of the C programming language. • Constants in C are the fixed values that are used in a program, and its value remains the same during the entire execution of the program. • Constants are also called literals. • Constants can be any of the data types. • It is considered best practice to define constants using only upper-case names. CONSTANTS TYPES • Constants are categorized into two basic types, and each of these types has its subtypes/categories. OPERATORS • C operators are symbols that are used to perform mathematical or logical manipulations. • The C programming language is rich with built-in operators. • Operators take part in a program for manipulating data and variables and form a part of the mathematical or logical expressions. TYPES C - INPUT AND OUTPUT • Input means to provide the program with some data to be used in the program • Output means to display data on screen or write the data to a printer or a file. • C programming language provides many built-in functions to read any given input and to display data on screen when there is a need to output the result. scanf() and printf() functions • The standard input-output header file, named stdio.h contains the definition of the functions printf() and scanf(), which are used to display output on screen and to take input from user respectively. getchar() & putchar() functions • The getchar() function reads a character from the terminal and returns it as an integer. This function reads only single character at a time. • The putchar() function displays the character passed to it on the screen and returns the same character. This function too displays only a single character at a time. gets() & puts() functions • The gets() function reads a line from stdin (standard input) into the buffer pointed to by str pointer, until either a terminating newline or EOF (end of file) occurs. • The puts() function writes the string str and a trailing newline to stdout (standard output) Difference between scanf() and gets() • The main difference between these two functions is that scanf() stops reading characters when it encounters a space, but gets() reads space as character too. DECISION MAKING IN C • Decision making is about deciding the order of execution of statements based on certain conditions or repeat a group of statements until certain specified conditions are met. • C language handles decision-making by supporting the following statements, o if statement o switch statement o conditional operator statement (? : operator) o goto statement Decision making with if statement • The if statement may be implemented in different forms depending on the complexity of conditions to be tested. • The different forms are, o Simple if statement o if....else statement o Nested if. .. else statement o Using else if statement Simple if statement • The general form of a simple if statement is, • If the expression returns true, then the statement-inside will be executed, otherwise statement-inside is skipped and only the statement-outside is executed. if...else statement • The general form of a simple if...else statement is, • If the expression is true, the statement-block1 is executed, else statement-block1 is skipped and statement-block2 is executed. Nested if. .. else statement • The general form of a nested if. else statement is, • if expression is false then statement-block3 will be executed, otherwise the execution continues and enters inside the first if to perform the check for the next if block, where if expression 1 is true the statement-block1 is executed otherwise statement-block2 is executed. else if ladder • The expression is tested from the top(of the ladder) downwards. As soon as a true condition is found, the statement associated with it is executed. SWITCH STATEMENT IN C • Switch statement is a control statement that allows us to choose only one choice among the many given choices. • The expression in switch evaluates to return an integral value, which is then compared to the values present in different cases. • It executes that block of code which matches the case value. • If there is no match, then default block is executed (if present). • The general form of switch statement is, Rules for using switch statement • The expression (after switch keyword) must yield an integer value i.e the expression should be an integer or a variable or an expression that evaluates to an integer. • The case label values must be unique. • The case label must end with a colon (:) • The next line, after the case statement, can be any valid C statement. • break statements are used to exit the switch block. It isn't necessary to use break after each block, but if you do not use it, then all the consecutive blocks of code will get executed after the matching block. EXAMPLE Difference between switch and if • if statements can evaluate float conditions. switch statements cannot evaluate float conditions. • if statement can evaluate relational operators. switch statement cannot evaluate relational operators i.e they are not allowed in switch statement. LOOPING STATEMENTS IN C • In any programming language including C, loops are used to execute a set of statements repeatedly until a particular condition is satisfied. • As per the above diagram, if the Test Condition is true, then the loop is executed, and if it is false then the execution breaks out of the loop. • After the loop is successfully executed the execution again starts from the Loop entry and again checks for the Test condition, and this keeps on repeating. TYPES OF LOOP • There are 3 types of Loop in C language, namely: o while loop o for loop o do while loop The for loop is executed as follows: • It first evaluates the initialization code.

  • DATA and C a Sample Program
    03 0672326965 CH03 10/19/04 1:53 PM Page 49 CHAPTER 3 DATA AND C You will learn about the following in this chapter: • Keywords: • The distinctions between integer int, short, long, unsigned, char, types and floating-point types float, double, _Bool, _Complex, • Writing constants and declaring _Imaginary variables of those types • Operator: • How to use the printf() and sizeof scanf() functions to read and • Function: write values of different types scanf() • The basic data types that C uses rograms work with data. You feed numbers, letters, and words to the computer, and you expect it to do something with the data. For example, you might want the com- puter to calculate an interest payment or display a sorted list of vintners. In this chap- ter,P you do more than just read about data; you practice manipulating data, which is much more fun. This chapter explores the two great families of data types: integer and floating point. C offers several varieties of these types. This chapter tells you what the types are, how to declare them, and how and when to use them. Also, you discover the differences between constants and variables, and as a bonus, your first interactive program is coming up shortly. A Sample Program Once again, you begin with a sample program. As before, you’ll find some unfamiliar wrinkles that we’ll soon iron out for you. The program’s general intent should be clear, so try compiling and running the source code shown in Listing 3.1. To save time, you can omit typing the com- ments.

  • Chapter 11: Data Types in the Kernel
    ,ch11.3440 Page 288 Thursday, January 20, 2005 9:25 AM CHAPTER 11 Chapter 11 Data Types in the Kernel Before we go on to more advanced topics, we need to stop for a quick note on porta- bility issues. Modern versions of the Linuxkernel are highly portable, running on numerous different architectures. Given the multiplatform nature of Linux, drivers intended for serious use should be portable as well. But a core issue with kernel code is being able both to access data items of known length (for example, filesystem data structures or registers on device boards) and to exploit the capabilities of different processors (32-bit and 64-bit architectures, and possibly 16 bit as well). Several of the problems encountered by kernel developers while porting x86 code to new architectures have been related to incorrect data typing. Adherence to strict data typing and compiling with the -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes flags can prevent most bugs. Data types used by kernel data are divided into three main classes: standard C types such as int, explicitly sized types such as u32, and types used for specific kernel objects, such as pid_t. We are going to see when and how each of the three typing classes should be used. The final sections of the chapter talk about some other typi- cal problems you might run into when porting driver code from the x86 to other platforms, and introduce the generalized support for linked lists exported by recent kernel headers. If you follow the guidelines we provide, your driver should compile and run even on platforms on which you are unable to test it.

  • A Formal C Memory Model for Separation Logic
    Journal of Automated Reasoning manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) A Formal C Memory Model for Separation Logic Robbert Krebbers Received: n/a Abstract The core of a formal semantics of an imperative programming language is a memory model that describes the behavior of operations on the memory. Defining a memory model that matches the description of C in the C11 standard is challenging because C allows both high-level (by means of typed expressions) and low-level (by means of bit manipulation) memory accesses. The C11 standard has restricted the interaction between these two levels to make more effective compiler optimizations possible, at the expense of making the memory model complicated. We describe a formal memory model of the (non-concurrent part of the) C11 stan- dard that incorporates these restrictions, and at the same time describes low-level memory operations. This formal memory model includes a rich permission model to make it usable in separation logic and supports reasoning about program transfor- mations. The memory model and essential properties of it have been fully formalized using the Coq proof assistant. Keywords ISO C11 Standard · C Verification · Memory Models · Separation Logic · Interactive Theorem Proving · Coq 1 Introduction A memory model is the core of a semantics of an imperative programming language. It models the memory states and describes the behavior of memory operations. The main operations described by a C memory model are: – Reading a value at a given address. – Storing a value at a given address. – Allocating a new object to hold a local variable or storage obtained via malloc.

  • Basic Data Types 1 Digital Number Systems
    13205 C Programming Lecture 3 - 23/Sept/2019 Basic Data Types c 2017 Abel Gomes All Rights Reserved Scribe: A. Gomes This lecture aims to respond to the following questions: • What is a data type? • Which is the main difference between a basic (or primitive) data type and an user-defined data type? • Which are the implications of defining an entity of a given type in terms of memory consumption? More specifically, the main goals of this lecture are: • To introduce the concept of data type. • To make clear which are the primitive data types that come with the C programming language. • To make clear the difference between data type and data format. • To master the conversion between number systems. 1 Digital Number Systems In computing, we usually deal with four number systems: binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal. 1.1 Number Bases Each number system has a distinct base: base 2 : which consists of two digits f0; 1g base 8 : which consists of eight digits f0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7g base 10 : which consists of ten digits f0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9g base 16 : which consists of sixteen digits f0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; A; B; C; D; E; F g In a digital number system, each number is formed by a sequence of digits belonging to its base. For example the number 2371 is valid in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal number systems, but no in the binary system because only the first digit 1 on the right-hand side belongs to the base 2.

  • C Data Types
    C Data Types Data Types in C Programming C Data Type specifies the type of data that we store in a variable. In C programming language, there are many data types and the type of data also specifies how much amount of memory is allocated to a specific variable. Data types are used along with variables and function’s return type. There are different data types. The main three classifications are : 1. Primary data types 2. Derived data types 3. Enumerated data types Primary Data Types Fundamental data types defined in C are called Primary Data Types. They are : 1. Integer a. Signed integer 1. int 2. Short 3. long b. unsigned integer 1. Int 2. Short 3. long 2. Float 1. float 2. double 3. long double 3. Character 1. signed char 2. unsigned char 4. Void Integer The below given data types will store whole numbers. Whole numbers are 0,1,2,3… Following table shows the ranges for different integer datatypes. Type Storage Space in bytes Range of whole numbers that can be stored Format Int (or)signed int 2 -32,768 to 32,767 %d Unsigned int 2 0 to 65,535 %u Short (or) signed short 1 -128 to 127 %d Unsigned short 1 0 to 255 %u Signed long 4 -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 %ld Unsigned long 4 0 to 4,294,967,295 %lu The most important objective of programming is saving memory to make the program run as fast as possible. To use memory efficiently, C programming has divided the data types as int, short, long, etc.
