What is the content?
1. Binary VS decimal number system

2. ASCII code

3. Variables.

4. Data types.

5. Conversion Specifiers

6. Scan and print (scanf, printf)

7. Program to get the area of a rectangle.


Binary vs decimal number system

• In our real life we have digits from 0 to 9, and we can use them to

represent any number.

• In the machine language we only have two values for every bit. if it is

on, that means 1, and if it is off, that means 0. So, we can use 0s and

1s to represent any thing.


ASCII code
American Standard
Code for Information
Interchange.
Note that:
Variables
C & C++ are case
• The name of a variable: sensitive.
➢ can’t be a number (0 – 9)

➢ Can’t be a special character ( @, #, $, *, %, !, -, …etc.)

➢ the first character can't be a number (1var, 2name, …etc.)

➢ The first character can’t be a special character (#var, *me, …etc.)

➢ The variable name can’t be a reserved word (int, float, if, switch, case, try, set, catch, …etc.)

➢ Can be a character or start with character, start with underscore , contains numbers or ends
with them (variable1, f1st, i, j, _var, …etc.)
Before using a variable,
Data types we need to declare /
initialize it.

Float has a precision of


8 bits / 1 byte

seven digits.
0.1234567

Double has a precision


of fifteen digits.
0.123456789123456
Conversion Specifiers

Data type Format specifier


char %c
short %d
Int %d
long %l or %dl
float %f
double %f or %lf
string %s
Scan and print
• We use scanf(); to get input from the user and use printf(); to print
output on the screen.
• We can use gets(); and puts(); in some cases. Both the functions are
involved in the input/output operations of the strings.
