  INTRODUCTION TO CPROGRAMMING  The basic structure of a C program:       Similarities to the structure of a Java program:     Inclusion of headers is similar to importing packages or classes Differences from the structure of a Java program:     Inclusion of headers Definition of types/classes Declaration of global variables Definition of functions The main function Functions and variables may also be defined outside of a class The main function is not part of a class Arrays can also be allocated statically in C/C++ A C program is written in a file with the “.c” extension: the source code After compilation, another file, with the “.o” extension appears: the object code. After execution, another file, with the “.exe” extension appears: the executable

  INTRODUCTION TO CPROGRAMMING EXAMPLE OF A C PROGRAM: #include <stdio.h> // inclusion of the stdio.h header int a, b, c; // global variables of the type int: a, b, c int main() { // beginning of the main function a = 10; scanf("%d", &b); // read the value of b from the standard input c = a + b; // assign the sum of a and b to the variable c printf("%dn", c); // print the value of c to the standard output return 0; // finish the main function successfully } Pay attention: C is case-sensitive!

  I/O OPERATIONS: STANDARDOUTPUT OPERATIONS  We shall use the printf function: printf(format, param_1, param_2, …, param_n); format = a string containing characters and format specifiers  param_1, param_2, …, param_n = expressions; their values are written taking into account the corresponding format specifier  Format Specifier Type %i or %d int %ld long %f float %lf double %c char %s string
• 9.
  I/O OPERATIONS: STANDARDOUTPUT OPERATIONS ‼ Exercise: run the below example and see how each format specifier works #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("%dn", 7); printf("%3dn", 7); printf("%03dn", 7); printf("%3.2fn", 5.1); printf("%.2fn", 4.245); printf("%sn", "blue"); return 0; } Note: we used a special character /n (newline character) The n used in the printf statements is called an escape sequence. Commonly used escape sequences are:        n (newline) t (tab) v (vertical tab) f (new page) b (backspace) r (carriage return) n (newline)

  I/O OPERATIONS: STANDARDINPUT OPERATIONS  We shall use the scanf function: scanf(format, param_1, param_2, …, param_n); format = a string containing characters and format specifiers  param_1, param_2, …, param_n = expressions; their values are stored taking into account the corresponding format specifier  Similar to printf  Use «stdio.h» for I/O operations 
• 11.
  I/O OPERATIONS: STANDARDINPUT OPERATIONS #include <stdio.h> int main () { char name [80]; int age; printf ("Enter your family name: "); scanf ("%s",name); printf ("Enter your age: "); scanf ("%d", &age); printf ("Mr. %s , %d years old.n“, name, age); return 0; }
• 12.
  I/O OPERATIONS ‼Exercise: Writea program to calculate the average of two float numbers. The result shall be displayed with 2 decimals. Use scanf and printf! Hint: %.2f -> format specifier for float with 2 decimals

  FUNCTIONS: DECLARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION  Thegeneral form of a function definition in C programming language is as it follows: return_type function_name( parameter list ) { body of the function } Visibility domain: local vs. global variables  Parameter passing: by-value 
• 15.
  FUNCTIONS: EXAMPLE • Notethe use of math.h library: for sqrt function (the same meaning as in Java) • Note the control flow structures (if, if-else, for, …) • Note the function definition and call: the implemented function calculates if a number is prime or not
• 16.
  FUNCTIONS ‼Exercise: Check whethera number is a palindrome or not. Hint: a palindrome is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed. 333 is a palindrome 123 is not a palindrome
• 17.
  STRUCTURES struct struct_name { variables(fields of the struct type) }  Like Java classes but without methods or public/private specifications  Used to package related data together  User-defined collection of one or more variables (fields), grouped under one name  The members of a structure are accessed with “.”
• 18.
  STRUCTURES: EXAMPLE struct date{ unsigned int day; unsigned int month; unsigned long year; char name_day[3]; char name_month[4]; }; typedef struct date { unsigned int day; unsigned int month; unsigned long year; char name_day[3]; char name_month[4]; } date; typedef struct date date; date today; date today; ‼ date is now a type ‼ typedef allows you to declare instances of a struct without using keyword "struct"
• 19.
  STRUCTURES: EXAMPLE void writeDDMMMYYYY(datemyDate) { printf("%2d %s %4d ", myDate.day, myDate.name_month, myDate.year); }
• 20.
  STRUCTURES ‼ Exercise: Designa structure for representing dates and write functions that: - Check if a variable value of the structure is a valid date - Calculate the next date of a given date - Calculate the date before a given date

  HOMEWORK     Finish all thelab exercises. Write a program that displays the first ten Fibonacci numbers. Write a program to simulate the Bulls and Cows game(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulls_and_cows), by giving two input numbers. Write functions for writing, reading, addition and multiplication of rare polynomials. Rare polynomials with integer coefficients are polynomials of large degrees and many coefficients equal to 0. They can be represented by a data structure defined as: typedef struct TMonom { int coefficient; unsigned int exponent; }TMonom; TMonom[50] polynomial;
