History of C Current status and future • An Overview of C The first program How to compile and run a C program An arithmetic program Execution flow control The for loop Character I/O A file copier program A character counter Stock values The char data type Strings (character arrays) The string program A look at functions A functional program Review of printf • Data Types and Variables Fundamental data types Data type values and sizes Variables, Constants Character and String constants • Operators and Expressions What are expressions? Arithmetic, Relational, and Assignment operator Expressions resulting value True and false Logical operators Increment and decrement Operators (++, --) 'Operate-Assign' operators (+=, *=, ...) Conditional expression Operator precedence Precedence and order of evaluation Evaluation of logical operators Type conversions The cast operator Bitwise logical operators • Control Flow Statements If - Else Else - If Switch While Do - While The for loop The break and continue statement |
Functions What is a function? Why use functions? Anatomy of a function Arguments are passed by value Passing an argument address A picture of addresses and values When to use the return statement Returning non-integer values Functions in multiple source files A simple make file The concept of variable scope Automatic variables Global (external) variables Static variables External Static variables • The C Preprocessor Symbolic constants Macro substitution File inclusion • Pointers and arrays What is a pointer? Pointer operators Why use pointers? Why use pointers?
