Identifiers
An identifier is a name for a variable, constant, function, etc. It consists of a letter followed by any sequence of letters, digits, and underscores.

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

Identifiers rules
A valid identifier is a sequence of one or more letters, digits or underscore character (_). Neither spaces nor punctuation marks or symbols can be part of an identifier Only letters, digits and underline characters are valid variable identifiers always have to begin with a letter They can also begin with an underscore character (_ ), but this is usually reserved for compiler specific keywords or external identifiers.

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

Identifiers rules
They can not begin with a digit. The C/C++ is a "case sensitive" language. An identifier written in capital letters is not equivalent to another one with the same name but written in small letters. The RESULT variable is not the same as the result variable or the Result variable They cannot match any keyword of the C++ language or your compiler's specific ones since they could be confused with these.

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

Identifiers
Examples of valid identifiers: First_name, age, y2000, y2k Examples of invalid identifiers: 2000y Identifiers cannot have special characters in them. For example: X=Y, J-20, ~Ricky,*Michael are invalid identifiers. Identifiers are case-sensitive. For example: Hello, hello, WHOAMI, WhoAmI, whoami are unique identifiers.

Constants
A value that IS NOT going to be changed during the execution of our program; Constant are specific values that are used in arithmetic expressions or assigned to variables, e.g. 2, 5, -10, 2.e+6, 3.14159, and so forth; Sometimes a constant represents truly a constant value in nature such as: Pi 3.14159 speed of light 2.99792+E8 meters/sec

Symbolic Constants
Which helps us to associate an identifier with a constant value in your program; The advantage is that you can refer to the identifier any time you need to use the constant value instead of having to repeat writing the value; To declare a symbolic constant you must do it as follows: const data type identifier = value;

Symbolic Constant - example


Consider the Example below: void main() { float area, perimeter; float radius; const double Pi = 3.14159; area = radius * radius * Pi; perimeter = 2 * Pi * radius; cout <<Area equals <<area << Perimeter equals <<perimeter; }

Variables
A variable is a data name that may be used to store a data value. A variable may take different values at different times during execution. Variable name chosen by the programmer in a meaningful way. Each variable needs an identifier that distinguishes it from the others. ( rules similar to identifier)

Declaration of variables

In order to use a variable in C++, we must first declare it. It does two things Tells the compiler the variable name. Specifies the type of data. Primary Type declaration: write the specifier of the desired data type (like int, char, float...) followed by a valid variable identifier. i.e data-type V1, V2,,Vn ; For example: int a; float mynumber, sum;

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

Declaration of variables
The integer data types short, long and int can be either signed or unsigned depending on the range of numbers needed to be represented. Signed types can represent both positive and negative values, whereas unsigned types can only represent positive values (and zero).

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

Declaration of variables
Signed and unsigned can be specified by using either the specifier signed or the specifier unsigned before the type name. For example: unsigned short int NumberOfSisters; signed int MyAccountBalance By default most compiler settings will assume the type to be signed(exception is char).

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

Short and long can be used alone as type specifiers.


o

Declaration of variables
short Year; short int Year;

The following two variable declarations are equivalent:

Signed and unsigned may also be used as standalone type specifiers.


o

The following two declarations are equivalent:


unsigned NextYear; unsigned int NextYear;

Declaration of variables
Floating point: keywords float, double, long double Character Type: keywords char, unsigned char, signed char. Eg: double deviation; char p, q;

Assigning values to variables


Values can be assigned using the assignment operator = o It is possible to assign at the time of declaration.
data-type varaiable-name=constant ; int final_value = 100, p = 20; char yes = m; The process of giving initial values to variables Initialization. external & static variables initialized to zero by default. Assigning values to variables after declaration Eg: initial = 1; area = 23.89; const int class_size = 40; const tells the compiler the value of variable class_size must not modified by the program. It can be used on the right hand side of any assignment statement.

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Initialization of variables example


#include <iostream.h> void main () { int a=5; // initial value = 5 int b; b=2; // initial value = 2 int result; // initial value undetermined a = a + 3; result = a - b; cout << result; }

User defined Type declarations


typedef

Type definition - lets you define your own type identifiers. Enumerated data type - a type with restricted set of values.

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

User defined Type Declaration


typedef : general declaration format
typedef type identifier; The type refers to an existing data type and identifier refers to the new name given to the data type.
After the declaration, we can use the identifier to declare variables.

typedef int marks; typedef float units; marks m1,m2; //m1 & m2 are declared as integer variables units u1, u2; //u1 & u2 are declared as floating point variables
The main advantage of typedef is that we can create meaningful data type names for increasing the readability of the program.

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

User defined Type Declaration


enum data type : general declaration format
enum identifier {value1, value2,..,valuen}; The identifier is a user defined enumerated data type which can be used to declare variables that can have one of the values known as enumeration constants. After this declaration as follows: enum identifier v1,v2,vn; enumerated variables v1,v2,..,vn can only have one of the values value1, value2,,valuen

1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

Dept of CSE

User defined Type Declaration


E.g.: enum day {Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun} ; enum day week_st, week_end, Today; week_st = Mon; week_end= Sat; if(Today == Fri) cout<<I got CP Lab
Compiler automatically assigns integer starting with 0 to all enumeration constants. But can be overridden.

E.g.: if you give enum day {Mon=2, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun};
Mon is assigned 2 & subsequent constants incremented by one.
1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM Dept of CSE

enum example
If declared; enum day { Monday=1, Tuesday,, Sunday};
cout<<"\n\nEnter n >1 &<7., 0 for Exit:- "; cin>>i; switch(i) { case Monday: cout<<Monday."; break; case Tuesday cout<< Tuesday."; break; case Wednesday: cout<< Wednesday."; break; case Thursday: cout<< Thursday."; break;
1/23/2011 10:12:26 PM

case Friday: cout<< Friday."; break; case Saturday: cout<<\Saturday."; break; case Sunday: cout<<Sunday."; break; case 0: exit(0); default: cout<<"\nInvalid Entry. Enter 0-7."; break; }

#include <iostream.h>
Lines beginning with a sign (#) are directives for the preprocessor. They are not regular code lines. directive #include <iostream.h> tells the preprocessor to include the iostream standard header file. This specific file (iostream.h) includes the declarations of the basic standard input-output library in C++, and it is included because its functionality is going to be used later.

void main ()
The main function is the point where all C++ programs start their execution, independently of its location within the source code. it is essential that all C++ programs have a main function. The word main is followed in the code by a pair of parentheses (). That is because it is a function declaration. Optionally, these parentheses may enclose a list of parameters within them. Right after these parentheses we can find the body of the main function enclosed in braces{ }.

cout <<Welcome to C++!\n;


This line is a C++ statement. A statement is a simple or compound expression that can actually produce some effect. cout represents the standard output stream in C++. meaning of the entire statement is to insert a sequence of characters into the standard output stream (which is usually the screen). (;) This character is used to mark the end of the statement and in fact it must be included at the end of all expression statements [other than control structures & main()] in all C+ + programs.
