format specifiers
%d is used as a format mask to represent and integer %f prints a floating point value %c is used as a format mask to represent characters
escape sequence (\n newline \t tab)
A sequence of characters that does not represent itself when used inside a character or string, but is translated into another character or a sequence of characters *Control codes comprising combinations of a backslash followed by letters or digits which represent non printing characters.*
extended conditional
Evaluates an expression returning a value if that expression is true and different one if the expression is evaluated as false
main
Function called by the system to start a C++ Program
C-programming
High level and general purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie
machine language
Programming language that can be directly understood and obeyed by a machine without conversation
preprocessor directive
Removes comments, performs macro substitution and # includes * Source file instruction about how the file shall be processed and compiled*
if/else
Statement selecting between two alternatives based on a condition
format string
The whole statement Specifies what/how to output this string Can contain front specifiers
initialize
When a variable means to give it its first value Ex. num=s
declare
When you declare a variable, you are basically saying: there is something with this name, and it has this type
while
a loop statement presenting its condition "at the top"
variable
a place in memory that is given a name and holds a value
source code
any collection of computer instructions (possibly with comments) written using some human-readable computer language, usually as text
compiler
computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language) *Converts source code to machine language*
4 ways of controlling program flow: sequence conditional loop subroutine
conditional: provides branching (program can be in different directions) Sequence Loops: Provide repitition or iteration Sub- Routine: allows you to go somewhere else
assign
is to give a new value to a variable
printf/print formatted
printf= print format Standard function in the C Programming language for printf formatted output
