Statement
The ability to control the flow of your program
valuable to the programmer
Many types of statements e.g. assignment
statement Control statement ,compound
,selection ,iteration,jump statement else
statement ,switch statement,break statement
,continuous statement etc
Reserved Word
Reserved words are one type of grammatical
construct in programming languages. int,switch
etc
reserved words include labels for primitive data
types in languages
reserved words in a language are defined
when a language is developed
Reserved word is a special word that cannot be
used as a user-defined name.
Reserved words that are intended for possible
use in future versions.
Parameter
The parameter attribute specifies names for
constants.
There are many types of parameters ,template
type ,non template ,template ,template
parameter
Instruction
A programming instruction in a subroutine that tells
the processor to execute parts of a program only if
conditions are true
A programming instruction used to disable a rung,
typically while testing a new program
An instruction set is a list of all the instructions,
and all their variations, that a processor (or in
the case of a virtual machine, an interpreter)
can execute.
Keyword
Keywords are identifiers reserved by
the language for special use example
auto,
break etc
Keyword do is usually used together
The keyword extern is optional for a function
prototype.
A keyword is a word that is special only in
certain contexts
keyword is extremely rarely used
Argument
An argument is an entity used to pass the data
from calling function to the called function
There are two type formal argument ,actual
argument
All function declarations for one particular
function must have the same number
and type of parameter, and must have the
same return type.
The term parameter refers to any declaration within
the parentheses following the function name in a
function declaration or definition
Inline function
inline functions are similar to macros
inline functions are parsed by the compiler
the compiler will insert the complete body of the
function in every place in the code where that
function is used.
An inline function is one for which the compiler
copies the code from the function definition
directly into the code of the calling function
rather than creating a separate set of
instructions in memory.
Variable Definition
the memory area allocates the memory for the
variable
memory is allocated once
Definition is when you define a variable or give it a
value, so a = 10 would be a definition
Formal Parameter
Formal parameters are the parameters as
they are known in the function definition
int max(int a, int b) {
if (a > b) return a;
else return b;
}
int m = max(x, y);
the following code, a and b are the formal
parameters
The variables declared in a subprogram
specification and referenced in the subprogram
body are formal parameters
An argument is one of the following: an
expression in the comma-separated list in a
function call; a sequence of one or more
preprocessor tokens in the comma-separated
list in a macro call;
Macro
A macro is a bunch of code that gets put inline in the
code every time you put it in your program
macros are expanded by the preprocessor
macro takes up much more memory than does a
function if it is to be used more than once.
A macro can be used in a constant expression,
such as an array bound
Variable Declaration
declaration tells about the signature of the variable
type and size to be considered
the declaration can occur many times.
he declaration is into a - you are declaring a variable
type integer
Actual Parameter
Actual parameters (also known asarguments)
are what are passed by the caller.
The following code x and y are the actual
parameters
The variables or expressions referenced in the
parameter list of a subprogram call are actual
parameters.
