Basic Syntax Of "C" Language

1).Tokens In C Language:-

A C program consists of various tokens and a token is either a keyword, an
identifier, a constant, a string literal, or a symbol. For example, the following C
statement consists of five tokens:

       printf("Hello, World! \n");

1.printf
2.(
3."Hello, World! \n"
4.)
5.;(semicolon)

Let Us Describe about these Tokens One By One:-

A.) Semicolons:-

the semicolon is a statement terminator. That is, each individual
statement must be ended with a semicolon. It indicates the end of one logical
entity.
For Example:
printf("Helo");
getch();
Given Above Is Example Of Termination Of Two Statements.

B.)Comments:-

Comments are like helping text in your C program and they are ignored by the
compiler. They start with /* and terminate with the characters */ as shown
below:

/*This Is My First Program*/

       OR
We can use double slash(//) for comment one line as:-

//this is My First Program

C.) Identifiers:-

A C identifier is a name used to identify a variable, function, or any other user-
defined item. An identifier starts with a letter A to Z, a to z, or an underscore ‘_’
followed by zero or more letters, underscores, and digits (0 to 9)


-> C does not allow punctuation characters such as @, $, and % within identifiers.
C is a case-sensitive programming language. Thus, Manpower and manpower
are two different identifiers in C. Here are some examples of acceptable
identifiers:

     mohd            zara         abc     move_name   a_123
     myname50 _temp j    a23b9   retVal

D.)KeyWords:-

The following list shows the reserved keywords in C. These reserved words may not
be used as constants or variables or any other identifier names.

E.)Whitespace:-

Whitespace is the term used in C to describe blanks, tabs, newline characters
and comments. Whitespace separates one part of a statement from another and
enables the compiler to identify where one element in a statement, such as int,
ends and the next element begins.
The FolloWing Example Clears This Concepts:

int day;
float pi;
char name;


there must be at least one whitespace character (usually a space) between int
and age for the compiler to be able to distinguish them.

no whitespace characters are necessary between operators:-
example

Sum=sum+a[i];

No need of space between sum and "=" or "+".

Pointer In C Language

          Introduction To Pointer: About Pointer:- *POINTER is a variable whose value is the address of another variable *Every variable is a memory location and every memory location  has its address defined which can be accessed using ampersand(&)  operator,which denotes an address in memory *Dynamic memory allocation,cannot be performed without using pointers. Let's start learning them in simple and easy steps. pointer variable declaration:- data_type *variable_name; *The asterisk ( * ) used to declare a pointer is the same asterisk used for   multiplication. some of the valid pointer declarations:- int *in;             //pointer to an intege r  double *db;  // pointer to a double  float *fl;         //  pointer to a float  char *chr    //pointer to a character   *The only difference between pointers of different data types is the data type of the va...

Calling Method Of Function In C Language

Calling Method In C Language:- As We Already See That Any Function has Some Arguments Or void If We Use Variable As Argument Then It Is Called FORMAL PARAMETERS. *Formal parameters behave like other local variables inside the function  and are created upon entry into the function and destroyed upon exit. In C Language there are two ways in which arguments can be passed to a function:- 1)Call by value:-      (using value) 2)Call by reference:-  (using pointer) Now We Will See One By One These Arguments By Taking Suitable Example: 1)Call by value:-  *In This Method actual value copies to formal parameter: *Due To That changes made to the parameter inside the function  have no effect on the argument. This will cleared by following example:- Example Program:- //in this program we swap two variable using third variable: #include <stdio.h> /* function declaration */ void swapping(int a, int b); int main () { /* local variable definition */ int x =...

Use Of Pointers In C language

Use Of Pointer In C Language:- We Have already Discussed About Pointe rs In Previous Post. This is the most important and useful IN C programming . The Uses Of Pointers In C Language Is Given below:- 1.Array of pointers:- We Can Use Collection Of Pointer by using   An Array Of Pointers. 2.Pointer to pointer:- C allows you to have pointer on a pointer. 3.Passing pointers to functions:-  We Pass Pointer As  Arguments. Now We Will know About These Uses Of Pointers One By One:- 1.Array of pointers:- In This Method We Declare An array For Storing Pointers: declaration of an array of pointers to an integer:- int *ptr[MIN]; declaration of an array of pointers to an float:- flot *ptr[MIN]; declaration of an array of pointers to a CHAR:- char *ptr[]; Example Program:- THIS PROGRAM DEMONSTRATES ARRAY OF POINTER, WE SIMPLY PRINT ADDRESS AND VALUE OF POINTERS #include <stdio.h> const int MAX = 5; int main () { int *ptr; int var[] = {10, 100, 200,400,500}; int i; ptr=var; for (...
