4. DATA TYPE
 A data type determines the type of the
data that will be stored, usually, in the
computer memory (RAM).
 Type statements in C++ are used to allow
the compiler to:
 reserve blocks of memory to store information
 give the reserved blocks of memory a symbolic
name so that the data contained in this block of
memory can be manipulated by referring to this
name in future C++ statements.

5. Data Types
C++ provides three fundamental data types:
- int (integers ) ex: 1 , -8 ,0 ,etc
- float (decimal numbers) ex: 2.03 , -7.15 , 0.0 , etc
- char (character) ex: ‘a’ , ‘A’ , ‘1’, etc
0 is not float
0.0 is float

6. Name Description Size* Range*
char Character 1byte
signed: -128 to 127
unsigned: 0 to 255
short int
(short)
Short Integer. 2bytes
signed: -32768 to 32767
unsigned: 0 to 65535
int Integer. 2 or 4 bytes
signed: -2147483648 to
2147483647
unsigned: 0 to
4294967295
long int
(long)
Long integer. 4bytes
signed: -2147483648 to
2147483647
unsigned: 0 to
4294967295
bool
Boolean value. It can take
one of two values: true or
false.
1byte true or false
float Floating point number. 4bytes +/- 3.4e +/- 38 (~7 digits)
double
Double precision floating
point number.
8bytes
+/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15
digits)
long double
Long double precision
floating point number.
8bytes
+/- 1.7e +/- 308 (~15
digits)

7. Exercise
 What is the suitable data type for the following?
 number of student in your class - unsigned int
 your matrix elements - float
 assignment marks for this subject - float
 the distance to the moon (the distance to the moon is over 200,000
miles) - long double
 last month's checking account balance - float /double
 a counter used to count the number of lines in a text file - int
 number of people living in Malaysia - long
 the temperature used in a chemistry formula - float

8. Variables
variable
 a valid identifier whose value can change during the course
of execution of a program
general form of the declarations:
data-type variable_name;
example:
int mass;
double x, speed, dragForce;

9. Declaration of Variables
when a variable is declared, you can initialize it in
two alternative but equivalent ways
int mass = 22;
or
int mass; //(garbage value)
mass = 22;
Declaration of string variable
example:
string name = “Mohamad”;

10. Variables
// Declaration of variables
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
short x = 22, y = 11, z;
z = x - y;
cout << "z = " << z << endl;
int p = 3;
int q = x * y * z - 2 * p;
cout << "q = " << q << endl;
return 0;
}

11. Exercise :
Correct the following errors
 long Float x; long x;
 int code = three, int code = 3;
 const int array size; const int array_size;
Declare the following variable:
Name Type Initial value
marks double None
grade char A
price float 10.0
num_1 int 5
msg string Hello World
result bool true

12. Scope of Variable
variable can have either local or global
scope
scope (visibility) of local variables is
limited to the block enclosed in braces
({ }) where they are declared
global variables are declared outside of
all blocks and their scope are the entire
program, i.e. the main body of the
source code.

13. What is the Scope of A
variable ?
Scope refers to the visibility of variables. In
otherwords, which parts of your program can see
or use it. Normally, every variable has a global
scope. Once defined, every part of your program
can access a variable.

14. A scope is a region of the program and broadly speaking there
are three places, where variables can be declared:
Inside a function or a block which is called local
variables,
In the definition of function parameters which is called
formal parameters.
Outside of all functions which is called global
variables.

15. Operators in C++
An operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to
perform specific mathematical or logical
manipulations. C++ is rich in built-in operators
and provides the following types of operators:
Arithmetic Operators
Relational Operators
Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators
Assignment Operators

16. Arithmetic Operators:
Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20
Operat
or
Description Result
+ Adds two operands 30
- Subtracts second operand from first -10
* Multiplies both Operands 200
/ Divides numerator by De-numerator B/A=2
% Modulus Operator and reminder of after
integer division
A%B=0
++ Increment operator , increases integer value
by one
11 A++
-- Decrement Operator, Decreases Integer
Value by One
9

main()
{
int a = 21;
int b = 10;
int c ;
c = a + b;
cout << "Line 1 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
c = a - b;
cout << "Line 2 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
c = a * b;
cout << "Line 3 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
c = a / b;
cout << "Line 4 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
c = a % b;
cout << "Line 5 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
c = a++;
cout << "Line 6 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
c = a--;
cout << "Line 7 - Value of c is :" << c << endl ;
return 0;

18. Relational Operators
Assume variable A holds 10 and variable holds 20
Operato
r
Description Example
== Checks if the Value of two Operands are
Equal or not , if yes then condition
becomes True
(A==B) is not
true
!= Checks if the value of two operands are
equal or not , if values are not equal then
condition becomes true
(A!=B) is true
> Checks if the value of Left operand is
greater than the value of right operand , if
yes then condition becomes true,
(A>B) is not true
< , >= , <= are relationals operators

19. Bitwise Operators
Bitwise operator works on bits and perform bit-by-bit
operation.
P Q P & Q P|Q P^Q
0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 1 1
1 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 1

20. if A = 60; and B = 13
Assume if A = 60; and B = 13; now in binary
format they will be as follows:
 A = 0011 1100
 B = 0000 1101
 A&B = 0000 1100
 A|B = 0011 1101
 A^B = 0011 0001
 ~A = 1100 0011

21. Operato
r
Description Result
& Binary AND Operator copies a bit
to the result if it exists in both
operands.
(A & B) will give 12
which is 0000 1100
| Binary OR Operator copies a bit if
it exists in either operand.
(A | B) will give 61
which is 0011 1101
^ Binary XOR Operator copies the
bit if it is set in one operand but
not both.
(A ^ B) will give 49
which is 0011 0001

22. Operato
r
Description Result
~ Binary Ones Complement Operator
is unary and has the effect of
'flipping' bits.
(~A ) will give -61
which is 1100 0011 in
2's complement form
due to a signed binary
number.
<< Binary Left Shift Operator. The left
operands value is moved left by the
number of bits specified by the right
operand.
A << 2 will give 240
which is 1111 0000
>> Binary Right Shift Operator. The
left operands value is moved right
by the number of bits specified by
the right operand.
A >> 2 will give 15
which is 0000 1111

c = a & b; // 12 = 0000 1100
cout << "Line 1 - Value of c is : " << c << endl ;
c = a | b; // 61 = 0011 1101
cout << "Line 2 - Value of c is: " << c << endl ;
c = a ^ b; // 49 = 0011 0001
cout << "Line 3 - Value of c is: " << c << endl ;
c = ~a; // -61 = 1100 0011
cout << "Line 4 - Value of c is: " << c << endl ;
c = a << 2; // 240 = 1111 0000
cout << "Line 5 - Value of c is: " << c << endl ;
c = a >> 2; // 15 = 0000 1111
cout << "Line 6 - Value of c is: " << c << endl ;

Operator Description Example
= Simple assignment
operator, Assigns values from right
side operands to left side operand
C = A + B will
assign value of A
+ B into C
+= Add AND assignment operator, It
adds right operand to the left
operand and assign the result to left
operand
C += A is
equivalent to C =
C + A
-= Subtract AND assignment operator,
It subtracts right operand from the
left operand and assign the result to
left operand
C -= A is
equivalent to C =
C - A

25. Assignment Operators
Operator Description Example
*= Multiply AND assignment operator, It
multiplies right operand with the left
operand and assign the result to left
operand
C *= A is
equivalent to C =
C * A
/= Divide AND assignment operator, It
divides left operand with the right
operand and assign the result to left
operand
C /= A is
equivalent to C =
C / A
%= Modulus AND assignment operator,
It takes modulus using two operands
and assign the result to left operand
C %= A is
equivalent to C =
C % A

main()
{
int a = 21;
int c ;
c = a;
cout << "Line 1 - = Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c += a;
cout << "Line 2 - += Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c -= a;
cout << "Line 3 - -= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c *= a;
cout << "Line 4 - *= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c /= a;
cout << "Line 5 - /= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c = 200;
c %= a;
cout << "Line 6 - %= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c <<= 2;
cout << "Line 7 - <<= Operator, Value
of c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c >>= 2;
cout << "Line 8 - >>= Operator, Value
of c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c &= 2;
cout << "Line 9 - &= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c ^= 2;
cout << "Line 10 - ^= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;
c |= 2;
cout << "Line 11 - |= Operator, Value of
c = : " <<c<< endl ;

27. Conditional operator
Operator Example
() ? : a = 2;
b = 9;
c = (a>b) ? 2:7;
Cout<<“c = ”<<c;
Output :
c = 7

28. Arrays
It is continuous memory of same data
types
Array can be of int , float or char
Syntax :
data_type variable_name[n];
where n is size of array
For example,
int arry[5] ;

29. Initilization of array
int a[3];
a[0] = 0; a[1] = 1; a[2] = 3;
OR
int a[3] = {0,1,2};
