Operators in C programming : Special Operators

By

C supports some special operators such as comma operator, size of operator, pointer operator (* and &) and member selection operators. (.and  →)

Comma Operator:
The comma operator can be used to link the related expression together. Comma linked lists of expression are evaluated left to right and the value of right-most expression is the value of combined expression. For example, value = (x = 10, y = 5, x + y),
Here, 10 is assigned to x and 5 is assigned to y and so expression x+y is evaluated as (10+5) i.e. 15.

Size of Operator:
The size of operator is used with an operand to return the number of bytes it occupies. It is a compile time operand. The operand may be a variable, a constant or a data type qualifier. The associativity of size of right to left. For example Suppose that i is an integer variable, x is a floating-point variable, d is double-precision variable and c is character type variable.
The statements:
printf (“integer : %d \n”, size of i) ;
printf (“float : %d \n”, size of x) ;
printf (“double : %d \n”, size of d) ;
printf (“character : %d \n”, size of c) ;

Unary expression                              Equivalent expression
++ variable or (variable ++)               variable = variable +1
-- variable or (variable _ _)                 variable = variable -1

The investment or decrement operators can each be utilized two different ways, depending on whether the operator is written before or after. If the operator is written before the operand then it is called as prefix unary operator. If the operator is written after the operand, then it is called as postfix unary operator. When prefix is used, the operand will be altered in value before it is utilized for its intended purpose within the program. Similarly, when postfix is used, the operand will be altered in value after it is utilized. A C program includes an integer variable i whose initial value is 1. Suppose the program includes the following three printf statements.
printf (“i = %d\n”, i) ;
printf (“i = %d\n”, ++i) ;
printf (“i = %d\n”, i) ;
These printf statements will generate the following three lines of output:
i = 1
i = 2
i = 2
Again, suppose            printf (“i = %d\n”, i) ;
printf (“i = %d\n”, i++) ;
printf (“i = %d\n”, i) ;
These statements will generate the following three lines of output:
i = 1
i = 1
i = 2
The precedence of unary increment or decrement is same and associativity is right to left.

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...

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

By
PGA reffered as pin grid array in which pins of CPU are lined up in a straight format. SPGA referred as staggered pin grid array. in which pins of CPU are arranged staggered format. LGA reffered to as Land Grid Array in which pins are available within inside the socket but not in the CPU in other words in line grid array, in CPU ther are no pinsbut insteadpins areattached with in a socket which contact with with the CPU. for e.g. LGA775 socket(no pins on cpu) has better cooling system. better contact and better locking(climbing). LGA1155: Letest generation I socket, also reffered as sandy bridge, Turbo boost overclocking. More resent than LGA 1156 socket. LGA1156: ability to north bridge Doul channel DDR3 optional integreted graphics PCI express LGA1366: hi end core i series socket integreted tiple channal memmory controller external control bridge(HUB) Upgrading CPU: need to check its core suppert check multiprocessor supports or not check on the ...

Recursive Function in C programming

By
             If a statement within the body of a function calls the same function, the function is called recursive function. Actually, recursion is a process by which a function calls itself repeatedly until some specified condition has been satisfied. This process is used for repetitive computations in which each action is stated in term of previous result. Many iterative or repetitive problems can be written in this form.                To solve a problem using recursive method, two conditions must be satisfied. They are: 1)       Problem could be written or defined in term of its previous result. 2)       Problem statement must include a stopping condition. /*   An example of recursive function to calculate factorial of a number.*/    #include<stdio.h>    #include<conio.h...
