C Programming Syntax

**Decision Making:**
1. **Simple if statement:**
- Executes code only if a given condition is true.
2. **if...Else statement:**
- Chooses between two code blocks based on whether a condition is true or false.
3. **Nesting of if...Else statement:**
- Places one if...Else inside another for handling more intricate conditions.
4. **Else if ladder:**
- Chains multiple conditions, executing the block of the first true condition.
5. **Switch-Case statement:**
- Selects a branch of code based on the value of an expression.
6. **? : Operator:**
- A concise way for conditional expressions, acting as a shortcut for if...Else.
**Decision Making and Looping:**
1. **While statement:**
- Repeats a code block as long as a specified condition holds true.

2. **Do statement:**
- Similar to while but guarantees the code block executes at least once before checking the condition.
3. **For statement:**
- Compact way to express loops with initialization, condition, and iteration in one line.
4. **Jumps in loops:**
- **Break:** Exits the loop prematurely based on a specified condition.
- **Continue:** Skips the rest of the loop and moves to the next iteration.
- **Goto statement:** Allows jumping to a labeled section of code.
Sure, here are the basic syntax structures for each of the decision-making and looping constructs in the
C programming language:
**Decision Making:**
1. **Simple if statement:**
```c
if (condition) {
// code to be executed if the condition is true
```
2. **if...Else statement:**
```c
if (condition) {
// code to be executed if the condition is true

} else {
// code to be executed if the condition is false
```
3. **Nesting of if...Else statement:**
```c
if (condition1) {
// code to be executed if condition1 is true
if (condition2) {
// code to be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are true
} else {
// code to be executed if condition1 is true and condition2 is false
} else {
// code to be executed if condition1 is false
```
4. **Else if ladder:**
```c
if (condition1) {
} else if (condition2) {

} else {
// code to be executed if none of the conditions are true
```
5. **Switch-Case statement:**
```c
switch (expression) {
case value1:
// code to be executed if expression is equal to value1
break;
case value2:
// code to be executed if expression is equal to value2
break;
default:
// code to be executed if none of the cases match
```
6. **? : Operator:**
```c
variable = (condition) ? value_if_true : value_if_false;
```
**Decision Making and Looping:**

1. **While statement:**
```c
while (condition) {
// code to be executed while the condition is true
```
2. **Do statement:**
```c
do {
// code to be executed at least once
} while (condition);
```
3. **For statement:**
```c
for (initialization; condition; iteration) {
// code to be executed in each iteration
```
4. **Jumps in loops:**
- **Break:**
```c
while (condition) {
// code
if (some_condition) {
break; // exit the loop
// more code
```
- **Continue:**
```c
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (some_condition) {
continue; // skip rest of the loop and move to the next iteration
// code to be executed in each iteration
```
- **Goto statement:**
```c
if (condition) {
goto label; // jump to the labeled section of code
// rest of the code

label:
// code to be executed after the goto statement
**One-Dimensional Arrays:**
- Represent a collection of elements of the same data type.
- Accessed using an index that starts from 0.
- Declaration example: ìnt myArray[5];`
**Two-Dimensional Arrays:**
- Organized in rows and columns.
- Declared with two size parameters.
- Declaration example: ìnt myMatrix[3][4];` (3 rows, 4 columns).
**Multi-Dimensional Arrays:**
- Extend the concept to more than two dimensions.
- Declaration example: ìnt my3DArray[2][3][4];` (2 layers, each with 3 rows and 4 columns).
Remember to initialize arrays and handle index out-of-bounds carefully.
**One-Dimensional Arrays:**
- **Definition:** Collection of same-type elements.
- **Access:** Index starts at 0.
- **Example:** ìnt myArray[5];`

Certainly! Here's a concise set of notes on character arrays and strings in C programming:
### Character Arrays and Strings in C
1. **Declaring and Initializing String Variables:**
- Strings in C are typically represented as character arrays.
- Declaration: `char myString[10];`
- Initialization: `char myString[] = "Hello";`
2. **Reading String from Terminal:**
- Use `scanf` to read strings from the terminal.
```c
char input[50];
scanf("%s", input);
```
3. **Writing String to Screen:**
- Use `printf` to display strings.
```c
char greeting[] = "Hello, World!";
printf("%s", greeting);
```
4. **Concatenating Strings:**
- Use `strcat` or simply iterate and copy characters.
```c
char str1[20] = "Hello";
char str2[] = " World!";
strcat(str1, str2);
```
5. **Comparison of Two Strings:**
- Use `strcmp` for string comparison.
```c
char s1[] = "apple";
char s2[] = "banana";
int result = strcmp(s1, s2);
```
6. **String Handling Functions:**
- Standard library functions like `strlen`, `strcpy`, `strncpy`, etc.
```c
char source[] = "Copy me";
char destination[20];
strcpy(destination, source);
```
7. **Other Features of Strings:**
- Strings are terminated with a null character (`'\0'`).

- Manipulate individual characters using array notation.
```c
char name[] = "John";
char firstInitial = name[0];
```
Remember to include the necessary header file `#include <string.h>` for string manipulation functions.
Sure, let's make these notes more memorable:

### Unleashing Function Magic in C 🚀✨
1. **Function Symphony:**
- Programs dance with multiple functions.
- The main function is the star, but others join the performance.
2. **Function Formula:**
- Create functions with the magic formula:
```c
returnType functionName(parameters) {
// Function magic
```
3. **Calling the Magic:**
- Summon functions by their names:
```c
int result = addNumbers(5, 7);
```
4. **Function Prologue:**
- Declare functions before the grand entrance:
```c
int addNumbers(int a, int b);
```
5. **Categories Ballet:**
- Two dance categories: Library Functions & User-Defined Performers.

- Libraries are pre-choreographed, user-defined are your unique steps.
6. **Nesting Harmony:**
- Functions perform a synchronized dance.
```c
void outerFunction() {
innerFunction();
```
7. **Recursion Waltz:**
- A dance where a function twirls itself.
```c
int factorial(int n) {
return n == 0 ? 1 : n * factorial(n-1);
```
8. **Array Serenade:**
- Pass arrays like musical notes to functions.
```c
void printArray(int arr[], int size) {
// Function melody
```
9. **String Symphony:**
- Strings join the orchestra of functions.
```c
void printString(char str[]) {
// Function chorus
```
Let your code dance with the rhythm of user-defined functions! 🕺💻
Certainly! Below are simplified explanations and syntax examples for the concepts you mentioned in C
programming language:
1. **Definition of a Function:**
- A function is a block of code that performs a specific task.
- Syntax:
```c
return_type function_name(parameters) {
// code to be executed
return value; // optional, depending on the return type
```
2. **Function Calls:**
- To execute a function, you need to call it from another part of the program.
- Syntax:
```c
function_name(arguments);
```
3. **Function Declaration:**
- Declaring a function informs the compiler about the function's name, return type, and parameters.
- Syntax:
```c
return_type function_name(parameter_types);
```
4. **Categories of Functions:**
- Functions can be categorized as built-in functions, user-defined functions, library functions, etc.
5. **Nesting of Functions:**
- Calling one function from another is called nesting of functions.
- Syntax: (nested function call)
```c
outer_function(inner_function());
```
6. **Recursion:**
- A function calling itself is known as recursion.
- Syntax:
```c
return_type recursive_function(parameters) {
// base case check
// recursive call
```
7. **Passing Arrays to Functions:**
- Arrays can be passed to functions by specifying the array as a parameter.
- Syntax:
```c
return_type function_name(data_type array_name[]) {
// code using the array
```
8. **Passing Strings to Functions:**
- Strings in C are represented as arrays of characters and can be passed similarly.
- Syntax:
```c
return_type function_name(char string_parameter[]) {
// code using the string
```
These are basic examples; actual implementations may vary based on the specific requirements of your
program.
**User-Defined Functions:**
1. **Definition of Function:**
- A function is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task.
- It is defined using the `def` keyword in many programming languages.
- Functions are executed by calling them in the main program.
- Parameters can be passed to functions, and they may return values.
- Function declaration specifies the function's name, parameters, and return type (if any).
- Example: `def my_function(parameter1, parameter2):`
4. **Category of Functions:**
- Functions can be categorized into built-in functions and user-defined functions.
- Built-in functions are provided by the programming language, while user-defined functions are
created by the programmer.
- Nesting involves calling a function within another function.
- It allows for modular and organized code structure.

6. **Recursion:**
- Recursion is when a function calls itself.
- It can be a powerful technique but needs careful implementation to avoid infinite loops.
- Arrays can be passed to functions as arguments.
- The function can then manipulate or analyze the array elements.
- Strings are passed to functions similarly to other data types.
- They can be modified within the function or used for specific operations.
Note: Proper understanding of function concepts is crucial for modular and efficient programming.
Certainly! Here's the syntax for each of the mentioned concepts in C programming:
```c
void myFunction() {
// Code block
```
```c
int result = addNumbers(5, 7); // Assuming addNumbers is a function that adds two numbers
```
```c
int myFunction(int parameter1, float parameter2);
```
No specific syntax, but built-in functions are part of the language, and user-defined functions are
created using `def` as mentioned earlier.
No specific syntax, but functions can be called within other functions as needed.
6. **Recursion:**
```c
if (n == 0 || n == 1)
return 1;
else
return n * factorial(n - 1);
```
```c
void modifyArray(int arr[], int size) {
// Code to manipulate array elements
```
```c
void modifyString(char str[]) {
// Code to modify characters in the string
```
These examples provide a basic representation of the syntax for each concept in C programming.
Remember that the actual implementation details may vary based on specific requirements and the
programming context.
Certainly! Here are the syntax examples for each of the mentioned function concepts in C programming:
```c
void myFunction() {
// Code for the function's task
}
```
```c
int main() {
// Calling the function
myFunction();
return 0;
```
```c
// Function declaration
void myFunction(int parameter1, int parameter2);
// Function definition
void myFunction(int parameter1, int parameter2) {
// Code for the function's task
```
```c
// Built-in function example

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("This is a built-in function.\n");
return 0;
// User-defined function
void myFunction() {
printf("This is a user-defined function.\n");
```
```c
void outerFunction() {
// Code for the outer function
innerFunction();
void innerFunction() {
// Code for the inner function
```
6. **Recursion:**
```c
// Example of recursive function (factorial)
if (n == 0 || n == 1)
return 1;
else
return n * factorial(n - 1);
```
```c
// Passing array to function
void processArray(int arr[], int size) {
// Code to manipulate or analyze array elements
```
```c
// Passing string to function
void processString(char str[]) {
// Code to modify or operate on the string
```
Note: Make sure to include necessary header files and adjust data types based on the specific
requirements of your program.
