Workshop

To help solidify your understanding of this hour's lesson, you are encouraged to answer the quiz questions and finish the exercises provided in the Workshop before you move to the next lesson. The answers and hints to the questions and exercises are given in Appendix E, "Answers to Quiz Questions and Exercises."

Quiz

    What is the difference between the = operator and the == operator?
    In the x + - y - - z expression, which operator is the subtraction operator, and which one is the unary minus operator?
    Given x = 15 and y = 4, what do the x / y and (float)x / y expressions return, respectively?
    Is the y *= x + 5 expression equivalent to the y = y * x + 5 expression?

Exercises

   1. Given x = 1 and y = 3, write a program to print out the results of these expressions: x += y, x += -y, x -= y, x -= -y, x *= y, and x *= -y.
    Given x = 3 and y = 6, what is the value of z after the expression  z = x * y == 18 is executed?

   2. Write a program that initializes the integer variable x with 1 and outputs results with the following two statements:

    printf("x++ produces:   %d\n", x++);
    printf("Now x contains: %d\n", x);

    Rewrite the program you wrote in exercise

 

3. This time, include the following two statements:

    printf("x = x++ produces: %d\n", x = x++);
    printf("Now x contains:   %d\n", x);

    What do you get after running the executable of the program? Can you explain why you get such a result?
    The following program is supposed to compare the two variables, x and y, for equality. What's wrong with the program? (Hint: Run the program to see what it prints out.)

    #include <stdio.h>

    main()
    {
       int x, y;

       x = y = 0;
       printf("The comparison result is: %d\n",  x = y);
       return 0;
    }

Question and Answer

    Q Is the C preprocessor part of the C compiler?

    A No. The C preprocessor is not part of the C compiler. With its own line-oriented grammar and syntax, the C preprocessor runs before the compiler in order to handle named constants, macros, and inclusion of files.

Compiling Your Code Under Conditions

You can select portions of your C program that you want to compile by using a set of preprocessor directives. This is useful, especially when you're testing a piece of new code or debugging a portion of code.
