C Programming – Operators

C programming language provides several operators to perform different kind to operations. There are operators for assignment, arithmetic functions, logical functions and many more. These operators generally work on many types of variables or constants, though some are restricted to work on certain types. Most operators are binary, meaning they take two operands. A few are unary and only take one operand. Operators can be classified based on the type of operations they perform. C Arithmetic Operators Arithmetic operators include the familiar addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*) and division (/) operations. In addition there is the modulus operator (%)…

C Programming – Expressions

Expressions in C are basically operators acting on operands. Statements like a = b + 3, ++z and 300 > (8 * k) are all expressions. Strictly speaking, even a single variable or constant can be considered an expression. You have seen several expressions in the previous C tutorial on Operators in which the examples involved expressions. Precedence and Associativity When an expression can be interpreted in more than one way, there are rules that govern how the expression gets interpreted by the compiler. Such expressions follow C’s precedence and associativity rules. The precedence of operators determine a rank for…

C Programming – Managing Input and Output Operations

Input Output operations are useful for program that interact with user, take input from the user and print messages. The standard library for input output operations used in C is stdlib. When working with input and output in C there are two important streams: standard input and standard output. Standard input or stdin is a data stream for taking input from devices such as the keyboard. Standard output or stdout is a data stream for sending output to a device such as a monitor console. To use input and output functionality in your program, you need to include stdio header:…

C Programming – Decision Making – Branching

“Decision making” is one of the most important concepts of computer programming. Programs should be able to make logical (true/false) decisions based on the condition they are in; every program has one or few problem/s to solve; depending on the nature of the problems, important decisions have to be made in order to solve those particular problems. In C programming “selection construct” or “conditional statement” is used for decision making. Diagram 1 illustrates “selection construct”. Diagram 1 simple selection construct Conditional statement is the term used by many programming languages. The importance of conditional statements should not be ignored because…

C Programming – Decision Making – Looping

Loops are group of instructions executed repeatedly while certain condition remains true. There are two types of loops, counter controlled and sentinel controlled loops (repetition). Counter controlled repetitions are the loops which the number of repetitions needed for the loop is known before the loop begins; these loops have control variables to count repetitions. Counter controlled repetitions need initialized control variable (loop counter), an increment (or decrement) statement and a condition used to terminate the loop (continuation condition). Sentinel controlled repetitions are the loops with an indefinite repetitions; this type of loops use “sentinel value” to indicate “end of iteration”….

How to Post a Resume Online and Make it Stand Out

How to Post a Resume Online and Make it Stand Out Posting résumés online is a relatively new trend. It wasn’t long ago when prospective job applicants scoured classified ads, circled job possibilities with a big red marker, and started eagerly pounding their résumés away on manual and electric typewriters. Back then, “good” résumés consisted of one short page, fine linen paper, and a watermark placed in just the right position. My, how times have changed. Typewriters are virtually obsolete, classified ads are found online, and résumés are no longer carefully wrapped in fine envelopes, sealed, and mailed off into…

C Programming – Arrays

Array is a collection of same type elements under the same variable identifier referenced by index number. Arrays are widely used within programming for different purposes such as sorting, searching and etc. Arrays allow you to store a group of data of a single type.  Arrays are efficient and useful for performing operations . You can use them to store a set of high scores in a video game, a 2 dimensional map layout, or store the coordinates of a multi-dimensional matrix for linear algebra calculations. Arrays are of two types single dimension array and multi-dimension array.  Each of these…

C Programming – Functions (Part-II)

Types of Functions You may have noticed the discussion about the <data type> portion of the function declaration missing from the last section. The <data type> refers to the type of data that would be returned by the function when it finishes executing. Data types are the same as any variable data types plus another one called void. Void type functions do not return any values. Function with no arguments and no return value: void function_name(); Think of this as a self-contained block of reusable code that does not need any data from the outside or have to return any…

The concept of functions in C language is the same as for any other programming language. Few languages have methods but, since there are no classes in C, methods are not used. Functions are best used for reusable code, or code that you know works and do want make use of it throughout development. If you find yourself tempted to use copy and paste on a particular block of code, even once, then you should move the code into a function. Lets talk about the different types of variables before diving into functions as it is a bit of a…

C Programming – Dynamic Memory allocation

Embedded and other low-memory footprint applications need to be easy on the amount of memory they use when executing.  In such scenarios, statically sized data types and data structures just are not going to solve your problem.  The best way to achieve this is by allocation of memory for variables at runtime under your watchful eye. This way your program is not using more memory than it has to at any given time. However, it is important to note that the amount of memory that can be allocated by a call to any of these functions is different on every operating…

Plus they do not have to shift data and recopy when resizing as dynamic arrays do. They do have the extra overhead of 1 or 2 pointers per data node, so they make sense only with larger…
