The document serves as an introduction to the C programming language, covering its structure, data types, operators, control statements, error types, functions, and storage classes. It describes how to compile and execute C programs and details various constructs like loops, conditionals, and arrays with examples. Additionally, it explains compiler errors and different data types, emphasizing the organization and functionality of C programming.

5. Data types
 Character data type (char)
 Signed - 1 byte (-128 to 127)
 Unsigned - 1 byte (0 to 255)
 Integer data type (int)
 Short int : signed - 1 byte (-128 to 127)
Unsigned - 1 byte (0 to 255)
 int : signed - 2 byte (-2G to 2G)
Unsigned - 2 byte (0 to 4G)
 long int : signed - 4 byte (-4G to 4G)
Unsigned - 4 byte (0 to 8G)
 Real data type (float and double)
 Float - 4bytes (3.4e-38 to 3.4e+38)
 Double - 8 bytes (1.7e-308 to 1.7e+308)
 Long double - 10 bytes (3.4e-4932 to 3.4e+4932)
 String data type (string)
‘a’ , ’1’
123 , 0X1223
Float (0.25f) and double (0.25)
“1234”, “nishma”

6. Operators
• Arithmetic operator ( + , - , * , / , % ) – binary – doesn’t change the value – result (value)
• Relational operator ( > , >= , < , <= , == , != ) – binary – doesn’t change the value – result (0 or 1)
• Logical or Boolean operator (&& , || , ! ) – binary – doesn’t change the value – result (0 or 1)
• Conditional operator ( [? :] ) – ternary – doesn’t change the value – result (true stat or false stat)
• Bitwise operator ( & , | , ~ , << , >> ,^ ) – binary – changes the value
• Increment and decrement operator ( ++ , -- ) – unary – changes the value
• Size of operator ( sizeof() ) –unary –doesn’t change the value
