C++ Character Set

5
Constants
An entity that doesn’t change

6
Integer Constants
Must have at least one digit
It must not have a decimal point
It can be either positive or negative
If there is no sign an integer constant is assumed to be positive
No commas or blanks are allowed within an integer constant
Examples: 135, -67, 3401, -5670

7
Real Constants
Also called Floating Point constants
A real constant must have at least one digit
It must have a decimal point
It could be either positive or negative
Default sign is positive
No commas or blanks are allowed within a real constant
Examples: +325.34, 426.0, -32.76, -48.5792

8
 Character Constants
A character constant is a
single alphabet
a single digit
or a single special symbol
Enclosed within single inverted commas
Both the inverted commas should point to the left
The maximum length can be 1 character
Examples: ’A’, ‘I’, ‘5’, ‘=‘

9
 Variables
An entity that may vary during program execution
Names given to locations in memory

x=3 x=5

10
 Variable
In a program a variable has:
1. Name
2. Type
3. Size
4. Value

11
Data Types
1. int
2. short
3. long
4. float
5. double
6. char

12
Range of Integer data Type

13
 Variables..
Series of characters (letters, digits, underscores)
Must begin with a letter or underscore
Case sensitive
Meaningful naming scheme

14
Variables..
No commas or blanks are allowed within a variable name.
No Special symbol are used in name.
Examples: Interger1, Sum, _FirstNum
Invalid variable names
#sum, 12x, first name

15
Keywords
Meaning already explained to compiler
Cannot be used as variable name

16
Writing C/C++ Programs
Instructions as statements
Order of statements
Each statement must end with a ;
Blanks for readability or clarity
Case-Sensitive

18
 Variable declaration
Any variable used in the program must be declared first before using it.

19
Output function

cout<<“This is my First Program”;

20
Input
To make gross salary calculation program general, the program ask the
user to input value of hours and payrate during execution

“ Cin ” function is used to input value from user during program
execution

21
Gross salary C Program

22
Input function syntax
Cin>> payrate;
Cin>> hours;

23
C++ Instructions
Type Declaration Instruction
To declare the type of variables used in a C++ program.

Arithmetic Instruction
To perform arithmetic operations between constants and variables
Control Instruction
To control the sequence of execution of various statements in a C+
+ program.

24
Type Declaration Instruction
This instruction is used to declare the type of variables being used in the
program.
The type declaration statement is written at the beginning of main( )
function.
 int hours, payrate, grosspay;
 float salary;
 char name;

25
Variations of type declaration instruction
Initializing at declare time
int x =10, y = 20;
float a = 1.25, b = 1.99*2.4+1.5;
Order of variable decleration
int i = 10, j = 25 ;
is same as
int j = 25, i= 10 ;
However,
float a = 1.5, b = a + 3.1 ;
is alright, but
float b = a + 3.1, a = 1.5 ;

26
Cont.
The following statements would work
int a, b, c, d ;
a = b = c = 10 ;
However, the following statement would not work
int a = b = c = d = 10 ;

27
 Arithmetic Instruction
C++ arithmetic instruction consists of
variable name on the left hand side of =
and variable names & constants on the right hand side of =.


The variables and constants appearing on the right hand side of = are
connected by arithmetic operators like +, -, *, and /.

28
Example
int ad ;
float kot, deta, alpha, beta, gamma ;
ad = 3200 ;
kot = 0.0056 ;
deta = alpha * beta / gamma + 3.2 * 2 / 5 ;
The variables and constants together are called ‘operands’
that are operated upon by the ‘arithmetic operators’

29
Types of arithmetic statement
Integer mode arithmetic statement
This is an arithmetic statement in which all operands are
either integer variables or integer constants.
Example:
 int i, king, issac, noteit ;
i = i + 1 ;
 king = issac * 234 + noteit - 7689 ;

30
Cont.
Real mode arithmetic statement
This is an arithmetic statement in which all operands are either real constants
or real variables.
Example.
float x, y, si, prin, anoy, roi ;
x = y + 23.123 / 4.5 * 0.3442 ;
si = prin * anoy * roi / 100.0 ;

31
Cont..
Mixed mode arithmetic statement
This is an arithmetic statement in which some of the operands are integers and
some of the operands are real.
Example.
float si, prin, anoy, roi, avg ;
int a, b, c, num ;
si = prin * anoy * roi / 100.0 ;
avg = ( a + b + c + num ) / 4 ;

32
 Arithmetic instructions
C++ allows only one variable on left-hand side
Modular operator
This operator returns the remainder on dividing one integer with another
Expression 10 / 2 yields 5 whereas, 10 % 2 yields 0
Expression 10 / 3 yields 3 whereas 10 % 3 yields 1

 An arithmetic instruction is often used for storing character constants in

34
Cont..
No operator is assumed to be present. It must be written explicitly.
a = c.d.b(xy)

b=c*d*b*(x*y)

35
 Integer and float conversions
An arithmetic operation between an integer and integer always yields an integer
result
An operation between a real and real always yields a real result
An operation between an integer and real always yields a real result

36
Type Conversion in Assignments
k is int and a is float

37
Hierarchy of Operations

38
Example
i=2*3/4+4/4+8-2+5/8
i=6/4+4/4+8-2+5/8 operation: *
i=1+4/4+8-2+5/8 operation: /
i = 1 + 1+ 8 - 2 + 5 / 8 operation: /
i=1+1+8-2+0 operation: /
i=2+8-2+0 operation: +
i = 10 - 2 + 0 operation: +
i=8+0 operation : -
i=8 operation: +

39
Association of Operators
When an expression contains two operators of equal priority the tie
between them is settled using the associativity of the operators
It can be of two types
Left to right
Right to left

40
Example
Consider the expression
a = 3 / 2 * 5 ;
Left to right:
a = 3 / 2 * 5
a = 1 * 5
a = 5

Right to left :
 a= 3/2*5
 a = 3 / 10
 a=0

41
Control Instructions in C++
Enable us to specify the order in which the various instructions in a
program are to be executed by the computer.
Sequence Control Instruction
Selection or Decision Control Instruction
Repetition or Loop Control Instruction
Case Control Instruction

42
Cont.
Sequence Control Instruction
The Sequence control instruction ensures that the instructions are executed in
the same order in which they appear in the program.

43
Cont..
Selection or Decision Control Instruction
Decision instructions allow the computer to take a decision as to which
instruction is to be executed next.
Repetition or Loop Control Instruction
The Loop control instruction helps computer to execute a group of statements
repeatedly.

44
Cont…
Case Control Instruction
same as decision control instruction.
