C programming language was developed 1972 by Dennis
Ritchie in Bell Laboratories.
It‟s an offspring of “Basic combined programming” called „B‟
which was developed by Ken Thomson
B language was interpreter-based but it was very slow
So Dennis Ritchie modified the „B‟ language and named it as

Benefits
C programs are efficient, fast & Highly portable It can be written in one computer and can be run in another
computer without any Modification.
Its easy for debugging, testing & maintenance because of
structured programming
C
OMPILER A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs)
that transforms source code written in a computer
language (the source language) into another computer
language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most common reason for
wanting to transform source code is to create an executable program.
The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that
translate source code from a high-level programming
language to a lower level language (e.g., assembly language or machine code). A program that translates from a low
level language to a higher level one is a decompiler. A program that translates between high-level languages is usually called a language translator,
D
IFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPILER AND INTERPRETER 1.Compiler checks syntax of programme where as
Interpreter checks the keywords of a prog.
2. compiler checks at a time all the prog, But
interpreter checks simultaneously in the eidtor.
3.Interpretor provides colour coding to the prog
Why
C
used Widely
Pointers it allow reference to memory location
by a name
Memory allocation Allow static as well as
dynamic memory location
Recursion Is a process in which a function can
call itself
Bit Manipulation Allows manipulation of data
D
IFFERENCE BETWEEN STATIC AND DYNAMIC Static memory allocation: The compiler allocates the
required memory space for a declared variable. By
using the address of operator, the reserved address is obtained and this address may be assigned to a pointer variable. Since most of the declared variable have static memory is assigned during compilation time.
Dynamic memory allocation: It uses functions such as
malloc( ) or calloc( ) to get memory dynamically. If these functions are used to get memory dynamically and the values returned by these functions are assingned to pointer variables, such assignments are known as
dynamic memory allocation. memory is assined during run time.

RINTF:
Printf
The printf statement allows you to send
output to standard out.
Here is program that will help you learn more about printf: #include <stdio.h> int main() { int a, b, c; a = 5; b = 7; c = a + b; printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, c); return 0; }

BOUTS
CANF:
The scanf function allows you to accept input from
standard in, which for us is generally the keyboard.
For Example:
#include <stdio.h> int main()
{
int a, b, c;
printf("Enter the first value:");
scanf("%d", &a);
printf("Enter the second value:"); scanf("%d", &b); c = a + b;
printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, c); return 0;
Simple Programs
# include <stdio.h> # include <conio.h> Void main()
{
/*Program to Display The Content*/ clrscr();
printf(“Good Morning..! Have a Nice Day”); getch();
Simple Programs
# include <stdio.h> # include <conio.h> Void main()
{
/*Program for Addition*/ int a,b,c;
clrscr();
printf(“Enter the value of A :”); scanf(“%d”,&a);
printf(“Enter the value of B :”); scanf(“%d”,&b);
c=a+b;
printf(“The Value of C is :”,c); }
Character Set
The Character that can be used to form words,
numbers and expression depends upon the computer on which the program runs.
Letters Digits
Special Character White Space
, .Comma & .Ampersand
. .Period ^ .Caret
; .Semicolon * .Asterisk
: .Colon - .Minus Sign
? .Question Mark + .Plus Sign
' .Aphostrophe < .Opening Angle (Less than sign)
" .Quotation Marks > .Closing Angle (Greater than sign)
! .Exclaimation Mark ( .Left Parenthesis
| .Vertical Bar ) .Right Parenthesis
/ .Slash [ .Left Bracket
\ .Backslash ] .Right Bracket
~ .Tilde { .Left Brace
- .Underscore } .Right Bracket
$ .Dollar Sign # .Number Sign
Keywords
“Keywords” are words that
have special meaning to the C compiler.
These keywords cannot be
used as identifiers in the program
auto double int struct
break else long switch
case enum register typedef
char extern return union
const float short unsigned
continue for signed void
default go to size of volatile
Identifiers
Identifiers" are the names you supply for variables,
types, functions, and labels in your program.
Identifier names must differ in spelling and case from
any keywords.
You cannot use keywords as identifiers; they are
reserved for special use.
Rules:
First character must be an alphabet (or underscore).
Must consist of only letters, digits or underscore. Only first 31 characters are significant.
Cannot use a keyword.

Loop Control Statements
•
Looping is deciding how many times to take certain action.•
In looping process in general would include the following four steps1. Setting and initialization of a counter. 2. Exertion of the statements in the loop.
3. Test for a specified conditions for the execution of the loop.
4. Incrementing the counter.

Syntax: while(expr) while (expr) { Statement; statement1; statement2; }where expr is Boolean
Note:
True Boolean values are any integer different from zero; False Boolean value is the integer zero.
Example for While Construct

Do-while Construct
Syntax:
do do {
Statement; statement1; while (expr); statement2;

Note:
while statement executes zero or more iterations of the loop; do-while statement executes one or more iterations of the loop.
Example for do-while construct
i=0; do { printf(“precision\n”); i++; } while(i<10); #include<stdio.h> int main() {int counter, howmuch; scanf("%d", &howmuch); counter = 0; do { counter++; printf("%d\n", counter); } while ( counter < howmuch); return 0; }

ne-Dimensional Array
Initialization
A character array needs a string terminator, the NULL
character („\0‟) as the last character, whereas integer and float arrays do not need a terminator.
Examples:
char array1[ ] = {„A‟, „R‟, „R‟, „A‟, „Y‟, „\0‟}; char array2[ ] = {“ARRAY”};
char dayofweek[7] = {„M‟, „T‟, „W‟, „T‟, „F‟, „S‟, „S‟}; float values[ ] = {100.56, 200.33, 220.44, 400.22, 0};
Initialization
Example:
#include<stdio.h> main( )
{
char array1[ ] = {„A‟, „R‟, „R‟, „A‟, „Y‟, „\0‟}; char array2[ ] = {“ARRAY”};
int i = 0;
printf( “String 1 is %s\n”, array1); printf( “String 2 is %s\n”, array2); }

Array offset always start with 0
Array Manipulation Using Subscripts
/* this function finds the length of a character string */ #include <stdio.h>
main( ) {
int i = 0;
char string[11]; /* char array decalaration */
printf(“Enter a string of maximum ten characters\n”);
gets(string); /* get the input from the keyboard (stdin
buffer) */
fflush( stdin); /* clear the stdin buffer */ for(i =0; string[i] != „\0‟; i = i + 1);
printf(“The length of the string is %d \n”, i); }
Array Addressing
In the declaration:
char string[11];
the name of the array refers to the starting address of the area that gets allocated for storing the elements of the array.
Thus, string contains the address of string[0]. In the aforesaid declaration, string refers to
the starting position of the array, and the
subscript refers to the offset position from the starting position.
Array Addressing
string 100 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 a b c d e f g h i j \0Array Addressing
To arrive at the address of the particular element, the compiler applies the following simple formula:
starting address of the array + ( offset position * size of
data type)

Rules and Regulations
A function should follows
1.Function Declaration 2.Function call
Example
#include<stdio.h>
Void display() /* function declaration*/ Void main()
{
display();/*function call*/ }
Void display()/*function definition*/ { int a,b,c; a=10;b=20; c=a+b; printf(“%d”,c); }
Key Points
C program is a collection of one or more functions.
A function gets called when the function name is followed by a
semicolon. For example, main( ) {
argentina( ) ; }
A function is defined when function name is followed by a pair of
braces in which one or more statements may be present. For example, argentina( ) { statement 1 ; statement 2 ; statement 3 ; }
Any function can be called from any other function. Even
main( ) can be called from other functions.
For example, main() { message( ) ; } message( ) {
printf ( "\nCan't imagine life without C" ) ; main( ) ;
A function can be called any number of times. For example, main( ) { message( ) ; message( ) ; } message( ) {
printf ( "\n Hai Welcome to C Language !!" ) ; }
Advantages of Functions
Divide and conquer
Manageable program development
Software reusability
Use existing functions as building blocks for new programs
Types of functions
There are mainly 4 types of functions
1.Function with no arguments and no return values 2.Functions with arguments and no return values
3.Functions without arguments and no return values 4. Functions with arguments and return values
Function with no arguments and no return values
void main() {
Printf(“welcome to c”); message();
printf(“for good learning c”); }
Void message() {
printf(“all the best”); }
Function with arguments and no return values
#include<stdio.h> Void main() { int a,b,c; a=10;b=20; add(a,b); }Void add( int x,int y) {
printf(“%d”,(x+y)); }
Function without arguments and return values
#include<stdio.h> Void main() { Int c; c= add(); Printf(“%d”,c); } int add() { int a,b,c; a=10;b=20; return(a+b); }Function with arguments and return values
#include<stdio.h> Void main() { int a,b; a=10;b=20; c= add(a,b); Printf(“%d”,c); }int add (int x, int y) {
return(x+y); }
Invoking functions
Function can be be invoked by using two ways
1.Call by value
Call by value
If a function is invoked by passing values of actual
arguments to is corresponding formal arguments.
Whenever using call by value, the values of actual
arguments is copied into its corresponding formal arguments
Whenever we make changes in formal arguments which
Example
#include<stdio.h>
Void exchange(int a,int b) {
int t; t=a; a=b; b=t;
printf(“the values of a and b are:%d%d”,a,b); }
Main() {
int a,b; a=10;b=20;
exchange(a,b);/* call by value procedure*/ }
2. Call by reference
If a function is invoked by passing the address of
actual arguments to its corresponding formal arguments.
If we make changes in the formal arguments ,all
the values will reflected into its corresponding actual arguments.
Example
#include<stdio.h>
Void exchange(int *a,int *b) {
int t; t=*a; *a=*b; *b=t;
printf(“the values of a and b are:%d%d”,*a,*b); }
Main() {
int a,b;
a=10;b=20;
exchange(&a,&b);/* call by reference procedure*/ }
Function Prototype
Function name
Parameters – what the function takes in
Return type – data type function returns (default int) Used to validate functions
Prototype only needed if function definition comes after use in
program
The function with the prototype int maximum( int, int, int );
Takes in 3 ints Returns an int
R
ecursion Function
A function call by itselfExample: int main() {
int result, number; . . .
result = factorial( number ); }
int factorial( int num ) /* Function definition */ {
. . .
if ( ( num > 0 ) || ( num <= 10 ) )
return( num * factorial( num - 1 ) ); /*call itself */ }
S
tructures
A structure is a collection of one or more variables, possibly of different types, grouped together under a single name for convenient handling.
Structures help to organize complicated data, particularly in large
programs, because they permit a group of related variables to be treated as a unit instead of as separate entities.
An example of a structure is the payroll record: an employee is described by a set of attributes such as name, address, social security number, salary, etc.
Declaring a Structure
The C language provides the struct keyword for declaring a structure. The following is a structure declaration for employee attributes. struct empdata { int empno; char name[10]; char job[10]; float salary; };
Declaring a Structure Variable
struct empdata { int empno; char name[10]; char job[10]; float salary;} emprec; /* emprec is a variable of structure type empdata */
Or a structure can be declared separately as:
struct empdata emprec;/* emprec is a variable of structure type empdata */
Accessing Elements of a Structure
Once a structure variable has been declared, the individual members of the
structure can be accessed by prefixing the structure variable to the element of the structure. struct empdata { int empno; char name[10]; char job[10]; float salary; }
struct empdata emprec; emprec.empno=101;
Structure Example
#include< stdio.h > void main() { struct { int id_no; char name[20]; char address[20]; int age; }newstudent;printf(“Enter the student information”);
printf(“Now Enter the student id_no”);
scanf(“%d”,&newstudent.id_no); printf(“Enter the name of the student”);
scanf(“%s”,&new student.name); printf(“Enter the address of the student”);
scanf(“%s”,&new student.address);
printf(“Enter the age of the student”); scanf(“%d”,&new student.age); printf(“Student information\n”); printf(“student id_number=%d\n”,newstudent.id_no); printf(“student name=%s\n”,newstudent.name); printf(“student Address=%s\n”,newstudent.address); printf(“Age of student=%d\n”,newstudent.age); }
Initializing of a structure
struct empdata { int empno; char name[10]; char job[10]; float salary; }emprec={101,”Arun”,”Developer”,”20000};Array of Structures
Just as it is possible to declare arrays of primitive data types, it should also be possible to declare arrays of structures as well.
Consider the structure declaration for the employee details used earlier.
struct empdata { int empno; char name[10]; char job[10]; float salary; };
Structure Example
#include< stdio.h > { struct info { int id_no; char name[20]; char address[20]; char combination[3]; int age; } struct info std[100]; int I,n;printf(“Enter the number of students”); scanf(“%d”,&n);
printf(“ Enter Id_no,name address combination age\m”); for(I=0;I < n;I++)
scanf(%d%s%s%s%d”,&std[I].id_no,std[I].name,std[I].address,std[I].combin ation,&std[I].age);
printf(“\n Student information”); for (I=0;I< n;I++)
printf(“%d%s%s%s%d\n”,
”,std[I].id_no,std[I].name,std[I].address,std[I].combination,std[I].age); }
Structure within Structure
A structure may be defined as a member of another structure. In such structures the declaration of the embedded structure must appear before the declarations of other structures. struct date { int day; int month; int year; }; struct student { int id_no; char name[20]; char address[20]; char combination[3]; int age;
structure date def; structure date doa;
Structures & Files
Consider a situation where your application needs to read records from a file for processing.
The general approach would be to read the various fields of a record into
corresponding memory variables.
Computations can then be performed on these memory variables, the
contents of which can then be updated to the file.
But, this approach would involve manipulating the current file offset for the relevant fields that need to be updated.
Writing Records On To a File
The fwrite( ) function allows a structure variable to be
written on to a file.
The following statement writes the structure variable
salesvar on to a file “SALES.DAT, which is pointed to by the FILE type pointer fp:
Reading Records from a File
Records can be read from a file using fread( ). The corresponding read statement using fread( ) for the earlier fwrite( ) statement would be:
fread(&salesvar, sizeof(struct salesdata), 1, fp);
Here, the first parameter &salesvar is the address of the structure variable salesvar into which 1 record is to be read from the file pointed to by the FILE type pointer fp.
The second parameter specifies the size of the data to be read into the structure variable.
Structures with pointers
We can store the address structure variable in a pointer variable
The pointer variable also should be the variable for the structure data type; #include<stdio.h> struct student { int rollno; int marks; }s={101,99},*p;
Accessing structure by pointer
#include<stdio.h> struct student { int rollno; int marks; }s={101,99},*p; main() { p=&s; printf("%d",(*p).rollno); printf("%d",(*p).marks); }Accessing structure by pointer
With pointers, though, in accessing structure members an arrow notation is
used, rather than the dot notation:
struct student { int rollno; int marks; }s={101,99},*p; main() { p=&s; printf("%d",p->rollno); printf("%d",p->rollno); getch(); }
Passing structure in a function
struct student{ int rollno; int marks; }s={101,99},*p; main() { p=&s; printf("%d",p->rollno); printf("%d", p->marks); f1(&s); printf("%d", p-> rollno); printf("%d", p-> marks); } f1(struct student *s1) { s1->rollno=103; }P
ointers
Pointers is a memory variable that stores a memory
address
It always denoted by (
*
) asterisk symbolFeatures
Pointers save the memory space. Direct access to memory location
Useful for representing two-dimensional & Multi- dimensional
array
Declaration
int *x; float *f;
Example for Pointer
# include <stdio.h> # include <conio.h> void main() { int v=10, *p; clrscr(); p=&v; printf(“ \n Address of V = %u ”,p); printf(“ \n Value of V = %d ”,*p); printf(“ \n Address of P = %u ”,&p); }Output
Address of V = 4060 Value of V = 10
P
ointers
Pointers are variables that contain memory
addresses as their values.
A variable name directly references a value. A pointer indirectly references a value.
Referencing a value through a pointer is called
indirection.
A pointer variable must be declared before it can
be used.
Concept of Address and Pointers
Memory can be
conceptualized as a linear set of data locations.
Variables reference the
contents of a locations
Pointers have a value
of the address of a given location Contents1 Contents11 Contents16 ADDR1 ADDR2 ADDR3 ADDR4 ADDR5 ADDR6 * * * ADDR11 * * ADDR16
Syntax: datatype * variablename; Example: int *a; Indirection operator identifier
Note: A normal variable(identifier) declared with * symbol is called pointer variable.
Examples of pointer declarations:
int *a; float *b; char *c;
The asterisk, when used as above in the declaration,
tells the compiler that the variable is to be a pointer, and the type of data that the pointer points to, but
Consider the statements:
#include <stdio.h> int main ( )
{
int *aptr ; /* Declare a pointer to an int
*/
float *bptr ; /* Declare a pointer to a
float */
int a =10; /* Declare an int variable */
aptr = &a ; bptr = &b ; printf(“%u”,&a); printf(“%u”,aptr); printf(“%d”,a); printf(“%d\n”,*aptr); printf(“%u”,&b); printf(“%u”,bptr); printf(“%f”,b); printf(“%f”,*bptr); return 0 ; } 1000 10 1500 2.5 aptr bptr 1000 1500 a b
Output:
1000 1000 10 10
Use of & and *
When is & used? When is * used?
& -- "address operator" which gives or produces
the memory address of a data variable
* -- "dereferencing operator" which provides the
contents in the memory location specified by a pointer
Arithmetic and Logical Operations on Pointers
A pointer may be incremented or decremented An integer may be added to or subtracted from a
pointer.
Pointer variables may be subtracted from one
another.
Pointer variables can be used in comparisons, but
Arithmetic Operations on Pointers
When an integer is added to or subtracted from a
pointer, the new pointer value is changed by the integer times the number of bytes in the data variable the pointer is pointing to.
For example, if the pointer valptr contains the
address of a double precision variable and that address is 234567870, then the statement:
valptr = valptr + 2;
Arithmetic Operations on Pointers
Example: int *a; int b=10; a=&b; a++; 1000a 2.5b 1000 Before this StatementAfter this Statement a++ a=a+1
1000++ a=1000+1 a value is 1002
Arithmetic Operations on Pointers
Example: #include< stdio.h > main() { int *ptr1,*ptr2; int a,b,x,y,z; a=30;b=6; ptr1=&a; ptr2=&b; x=*ptr1+ *ptr2 –6; y=6*- *ptr1/ *ptr2 +30; printf(“\nAddress of a +%u”,ptr1); printf(“\nAddress of b %u”,ptr2); printf(“\na=%d, b=%d”,a,b); printf(“\nx=%d,y=%d”,x,y); ptr1=ptr1 + 70; ptr2= ptr2; printf(“\na=%d, b=%d”,a,b); }Pointer to arrays
An array is actually very much like pointer.
We can declare the arrays first element as
a[0] or as int *a
because a[0] is an address and *a is also an address
the form of declaration is equivalent.
The difference is pointer is a variable and can
appear on the left of the assignment operator that is lvalue.
The array name is constant and cannot appear as
Pointer to arrays
/* A program to display the contents of array using pointer*/ main()
{
int a[100]; int i,j,n;
printf(“\nEnter the elements of the array\n”); scanf(“%d”,&n);
printf(“Enter the array elements”); for(I=0;I< n;I++)
scanf(“%d”,&a[I]);
printf(“Array element are”); for(ptr=a,ptr< (a+n);ptr++)
printf(“Value of a[%d]=%d stored at address %u”,j+=,*ptr,ptr); }
Strings are characters arrays and here last element is \0 arrays and pointers to char arrays can be used to perform a number of string functions.
Files in C
In C, each file is simply a sequential stream of
bytes. C imposes no structure on a file.
A file must first be opened properly before it can
be accessed for reading or writing. When a file is opened, a stream is associated with the file.
Successfully opening a file returns a pointer to
(i.e., the address of) a file structure, which
Files in C
The statement:
FILE *fp1, *fp2 ;
declares that fptr1 and fptr2 are pointer variables of type FILE. They will be assigned the address of a file descriptor, that is, an area of memory that will be associated with an input or output stream.
Whenever you are to read from or write to the
file, you must first open the file and assign the address of its file descriptor (or structure) to the file pointer variable.
Opening Files Syntax: FILE *fp; fp=fopen(“filename”,”mode”); The statement: fp1 = fopen ( "mydata", "r" ) ;
Opening Files
The statement:
fp = fopen ("results", "w" ) ;
would open the file results for output (writing).
Once the files are open, they stay open until you
close them or end the program (which will close all files.)
Testing for Successful Open
If the file was not able to be opened, then the
value returned by the fopen routine is NULL.
For example, let's assume that the file mydata
does not exist. Then: FILE *fptr1 ;
fptr1 = fopen ( "mydata", "r") ; if (fptr1 == NULL)
{
printf ("File 'mydata' did not open.\n") ;
Open Mode
"r“ Open text file for reading only
"w“ Truncate to 0 length, if existent, or create
text file for writing only.
"a“ Append; open or create text file only for
writing at end of file
"r+“ Open text file for update (reading and
writing)
"w+“ Truncate to 0 length, if existent, or
create text file for update
"a+“ Append; open or create text file for

{
file *f1;
printf(“Data input output”);
f1=fopen(“Input”,”w”); /*Open the file Input*/
while((c=getchar())!=EOF) /*get a character from key board*/

while((c=getc(f1))!=EOF) printf(“%c”,c);
fclose(f1); }

#include< stdio.h > main() { FILE *f1,*f2,*f3; int number I;printf(“Contents of the data file\n\n”); f1=fopen(“DATA”,”W”); for(I=1;I< 30;I++) { scanf(“%d”,&number); if(number==-1) break; putw(number,f1); } fclose(f1); f1=fopen(“DATA”,”r”); f2=fopen(“ODD”,”w”); f3=fopen(“EVEN”,”w”);
getw() & putw()
while((number=getw(f1))!=EOF)/* Read from data file*/ {
if(number%2==0)
putw(number,f3);/*Write to even file*/ else
putw(number,f2);/*write to odd file*/ } fclose(f1); fclose(f2); fclose(f3); f2=fopen(“ODD”,”r”); f3=fopen(“EVEN”,”r”);
printf(“\n\nContents of the odd file\n\n”); while(number=getw(f2))!=EOF)
printf(“%d%d”,number);
printf(“\n\nContents of the even file”); while(number=getw(f3))!=EOF)
printf(“%d”,number); fclose(f2);
fclose(f3); }
Reading From Files
In the following segment of C language code:
int a, b ;
FILE *fptr1, *fptr2 ;
fptr1 = fopen ( "mydata", "r" ) ; fscanf ( fptr1, "%d%d", &a, &b) ;
the fscanf function would read values from the file "pointed" to by fptr1 and assign those values to a and b.
End of File
The end-of-file indicator informs the program when
there are no more data (no more bytes) to be processed.
There are a number of ways to test for the
end-of-file condition. One is to use the feof function which returns a true or false condition:
fscanf (fptr1, "%d", &var) ; if ( feof (fptr1) )
{
printf ("End-of-file encountered.\n”); }
End of File
There are a number of ways to test for the
end-of-file condition. Another way is to use the value returned by the fscanf function:
int istatus ;
istatus = fscanf (fptr1, "%d", &var) ; if ( istatus == EOF )
{
printf ("End-of-file encountered.\n”) ; }
Writing To Files
Likewise in a similar way, in the following
segment of C language code: int a = 5, b = 20 ; FILE *fptr2 ;
fptr2 = fopen ( "results", "w" ) ; fprintf ( fptr2, "%d %d\n", a, b ) ; the fprintf functions would write the values
Closing Files
The statements:
fclose ( fptr1 ) ; fclose ( fptr2 ) ;
will close the files and release the file descriptor space and I/O buffer memory.
Reading and Writing Files
#include <stdio.h> int main ( )
{
FILE *outfile, *infile ; int b = 5, f ;
float a = 13.72, c = 6.68, e, g ;
outfile = fopen ("testdata", "w") ;
fprintf (outfile, "%6.2f%2d%5.2f", a, b, c) ; fclose (outfile) ;
Reading and Writing Files
infile = fopen ("testdata", "r") ;
fscanf (infile,"%f %d %f", &e, &f, &g) ; printf ("%6.2f%2d%5.2f\n", a, b, c) ; printf ("%6.2f,%2d,%5.2f\n", e, f, g) ; } 12345678901234567890 **************************** 13.72 5 6.68 13.72, 5, 6.68
