    Unit1 Data Types

    Uploaded by

    Selva
    This document provides an overview of data types in C programming including basic, derived, and user-defined data types. It discusses the five basic data types of char, int, float, double, and void along with their memory requirements and value ranges. Derived data types include arrays, pointers, and functions. User-defined data types can be created using structures, unions, and enumerations. The document also covers type qualifiers like const and volatile as well as type modifiers like signed, unsigned, short, and long that modify the base type.

    UNIT I BASICS OF C PROGRAMMING


    Introduction to programming paradigms - Structure of C program - C programming:
    Data Types –Storage classes - Constants – Enumeration Constants - Keywords –
    Operators: Precedence and Associativity - Expressions - Input/Output statements,
    Assignment statements – Decision making statements - Switch statement - Looping
    statements – Pre-processor directives - Compilation process

    DATA TYPES
    Data type determines the possible values that an identifier can have and the valid
    operations that can be applied on it.
    In C language data types are broadly classified as:
    1. Basic data types(Primitive data types)
    2. Derived data types
    3. User-Defined data types
    1. Basic data types:
    There are five basic data types:
    (i)Character - char
    (ii)Integer - int
    (iii)Single-Precision floating point - float
    (iv)Double Precision floating point - double
    (v)No value available - void
    Data types and their memory requirements

    S.No Data type No of bytes Range


    required
    1 Char 1 -128 to 127
    2 Int 2 -32768 to 32767
    3 Float 4 3.4*10-38 to
    3.4*10 38
    4 Double 8 1.7*10-308 to
    1.7*10308
    5 Unsigned char 1 0 to 255

    Derived data types


    These data types are derived from the basic data types. Derived data types available in
    C are:
    1. Array type eg. Char[ ], int [ ]
    2. Pointer type eg. Char*, int*
    3. Function type eg. int (int,int), float(int)
    User-defined data types
    The C language provides the flexibility to the user to create new data types. These newly
    created data types are called user-defined data types. The user defined data types available in C
    can be created by using:
    1. Structure
    2. Union
    3. Enumeration

    Type qualifiers and Type Modifiers


    The declaration statement can optionally have type qualifiers or type modifiers or both.

    Type qualifier
    A type qualifier is used to indicate the special properties of data within an object. It
    never affects the range of values & the arithmetic properties of the declared object.
    Two type qualifiers available in C are:
    Const qualifier: Object value will not be changed during the execution of a
    program
    Volatile qualifier
    Type Modifiers
    A type modifier modifies the base type to yield a new type. It modifies the range and the
    arithmetic properties of the base type.
    Type modifiers and the corresponding keywords available in C are:
     Signed (signed)
     Unsigned (unsigned)
     Short (short)
     Long (long)
