Operators in C Programming : Relational and Logical Operators

By
Relational Operators are those that are used to compare two similar operands, and depending on their relation take some actions. The relational operators in C are listed as
Operators                   Meaning
<                                  less than
<=                                less than or equal to
>                                  greater than
>=                                greater than or equal to
= =                               Equality equal to
! =                                Operators not equal to
These operators all fall within the same precedence group, which is lower than the arithmetic and unary operators. The associativity of these operators is left to right.
# Suppose that i, j and k are integer variables whose values are 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Several relational expressions involving these variables:
Expressions                Interpretation                        Value
i < j                              true                                          1
(i+j) >= k                    true                                         1
(j+k) > (i+5)                false                                        0
k! = 3                           false                                         0
j = = 2                          true                                          2
In addition to the relational and equality operators, is used to assign a value to an identifier, where as the equality operator is used to determine if two expressions have the same value. These operators cannot be used in place of one another.
Assignment expressions are often referred as assignment statements.
Multiple assignments of the form are permissible as
identifier1 = identifier2 = - - - - - - - = identifier n
In such situation, the assignments are carried out from right to left.
Multiple assignment
identifier1 = identifier = expression.
is equivalent to
identifier1 = (identifier2 = expression)
And so on, with right to left resting for additional multiple assignments. C contains the following five additional assignment operators:
+ = ,   - = ,    * = ,    / =   and    % =
They are also k/shorthand assignment operators.
expression1 + = expression2
Is equivalent to:
expression1 = expression 1 + expression
Expression Equivalent Expression
a + = b a = a+b
a - = b a = a-b
a * = b a = a*b
a / = b a = a/b
a% = b a = a%b
The general form of shorthand assignment operators
variable1 operator = variable2 (or expression)

The use of shorthand assignment operator has three advantages:
1. What appears on the left-hand side need not be repeated and therefore it becomes easier to write.
2. The statement is more concise and easier to read.

3. The statement is more efficient.

Object Oriented Programming

By
Object Oriented Programming Programming paradigm that represents the concept of "objects" that have data fields (attributes that describe the object) and associated procedures known as methods Programming methodology based on objects, instead of just functions and procedures Focuses on data rather than process As individual objects can be modified without affecting other aspects of the program, it is easier for programmers to structure and organize software programs Easier to update and change programs written in object-oriented languages Simula was the first object oriented programming language Eg: C++, Java, etc. Features of OOPS Objects Referred as instance of class Basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system a person, a place, a bank account, a table of data, etc can be an object They occupy space in memory that keeps its state  Each object contains data and code to manipulate the data  Classes Blue print or prototype  which ...

Passing arrays to functions in C programming

By
Like any other variables, we can also pass entire array to a function. An array name can be named as an argument for the prototype declaration and in function header. When we call the function no need to subscript or square brackets. When we pass array that pass as a call by reference because the array name is address for that array. /* Program to illustrate passing array to function */ #include<stdio.h> void display(int) ; /* function prototype */ main( ) { int num[5] = {100, 20, 40, 15, 33, i ; clrscr( ) ; printf (“\n The content of array is \n”) ; for (i=0; i<5; i++) display (num[i]) ; /*Pass array element fo fun */ getch{ } ; } void display(int n) { printf (“\t%d”, n ) ; } Output:     The content of array is 100      20       40       15 3 /* Program to read 10 numbers from keyboard to store these num into array and then c...

Software Development Life Cycle

By
Software Crisis In earlier days, same codes needed to be written time and again increasing the complexity and time required for development This resulted in software not being completed on time and the cost increased than expected Solution: Object Oriented Programming Software Evolution Investigation Feasibility Study Analysis Design Implementation Maintenance Investigation First step in preparation of the IS includes the preliminary study of proposed information system investigates the information needs of the users and determines the resource requirement, costs, benefits and feasibility of a proposed project 2. Feasibility Study feasibility study is an analysis of the practicality of an idea focuses on helping answer the essential question of “should we proceed with the proposed project idea?” The feasibility study is conducted in four different areas: 1. Organizational feasibility 2. Economic feasibility 3. Technical feasibility 4. Operation...
