C Pointer Tutorial (1)
First is the basic
- About
#
- these code are processed by the preprocessor
- After the preprocessor read the code, the preprocessor directives will deal with it
- then give the main code that are dealed with by the preprocessor directives to the complier
- like
#include <stdio.h>
- It means that use the content in the stdio.h to replace the

- About
const
- the value that is named const can not be modified
- and it would be better to use
const
thandefine
to define some const value.
About passing the value
- in C programming language
- all the array is passed using reference(if the value change in the function, it will change.)
- and all the value and const value are passed using value(if the value change in the function, it will not change.)
- in C programming language
About string I/O
gets
- it is used to read a line in the content and store it as a parameter to pass to the array
- the input line contains: a string and a newline
puts
- About
*
- the pointer point the address of a value that is stored in the memory
data type
- In C programming language, there are only 4 basic data type
- int, float, pointer and polymerization
- INT
- contains : char, short, int and long int
- signed and ubsigned
- thr range of the variable
type range char 0~127 signed char -127~127 unsigned char 0~255 short int -32767~32767 unsigned short int 0~65535 int -32767~32767 unsigned int 0~65535 long int -2147483647~2147483647 unsigned long int 0~4294967295 - short int is at least 16 bits
- long int is at least 32 bits
- if the computer is 32 bits then int is 32 bits
- else if the computer is 64 bits than the int is 32 bits
- The range difference in difference kinds of machine
data type 32 bits compiler 64 bits compiler char 1 byte 1 byte char * 4 bytes 8bytes short int 2 bytes 2 bytes int 4 bytes 4 bytes unsigned int 4 bytes 4 bytes float 4 bytes 4 bytes double 8 bytes 8 bytes long 4 bytes 4 bytes long long 8 bytes 8 bytes unsigned long 4 bytes 8 bytes - use
sizeof(data type)
to get the length of the data type - add
0
before number to make it octal number - add
0x
before number to make it hexadecimal number - add
L
before character to make it wider charactor literal(it the environment support)- e.g
L'X'
- e.g
- FLOAT
- contains : float, double, long double
- range : 10^-37 ~ 1037
