The answers and hints to the questions and exercises are given in Appendix E, "Answers to Quiz Questions and Exercises."
Quiz

    Given x = 0, will the arithmetic operations inside the following if statement be performed?

    if (x != 0)
       y = 123 / x + 456;


    Given x = 4, y = 2, and operator = `-', what is the final value of x after the following switch statement is executed?

    switch (operator){
       case `+':  x += y;
       case `-':  x -= y;
       case `*':  x *= y;
       case `/':  x /= y;
       default:   break;
    }


    Similarly to in question 2, using x = 4, y = 2, and operator = `-', what is the final value of x after the following switch statement is executed?

    switch (operator){
       case `+':  x += y; break;
       case `-':  x -= y; break;
       case `*':  x *= y; break;
       case `/':  x /= y; break;
       default:   break;
    }


    What is the value of the integer variable x after the following code is executed?

    x = 1;
    for (i=2; i<10; i++){
       if (i%3 == 0)
          continue;
       x += i;
    }


Exercises

    Rewrite the program in Listing 10.1. This time, use the logical expression i%6 == 0 in the if statement.
    Rewrite the program in Listing 10.1 by using nested if statements.
    Write a program to read characters from the standard I/O. If the characters are A, B, and C, display their numeric values on the screen. (The switch statement is required.)
    Write a program that keeps reading characters from the standard input until the character q is entered.
    Rewrite the program in Listing 10.7. This time, instead of skipping 3 and 5, skip the integer that can be divided evenly by both 2 and 3.

What Does x?y:z Mean?

In C, ?: is called the conditional operator, which is the only operator that takes three operands. The general form of the conditional operator is

Using Shift Operators

Using Shift Operators

There are two shift operators in C. The >> operator shifts the bits of an operand to the right; the << operator shifts the bits to the left.

The general forms of the two shift operators are

x >> y

Manipulating Bits

Manipulating Bits

In previous hours, you learned that computer data and files are made of bits (or bytes). There is even an operator in C_the sizeof operator_that can be used to measure the number of bytes for data types.
