00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Scope of variables in C and C++. |
00:08 | In this tutorial we will learn, |
00:11 | What is the Scope of variable? |
00:13 | What is a Global variable? |
00:16 | What is a Local variable? |
00:19 | Few examples. |
00:22 | We will also see some common errors and their solutions. |
00:27 | To record this tutorial, I am using |
00:30 | Ubuntu Operating System version 11.04, gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1. |
00:41 | Let us start with the introduction to the scope of variables. |
00:47 | It is the region of code within which the variable can be accessed. |
00:54 | Depending on it's type and place of declaration it is divided into two categories: |
00:59 | Global Variable & |
01:02 | Local Variable. |
01:05 | Now we will see an example. |
01:07 | I have already typed the program on the editor. |
01:10 | Let me open it. |
01:14 | Note that our file name is scope.c. |
01:19 | Let me explain the code now. |
01:23 | This is our header file. |
01:26 | Here we have declared two global variables a and b. |
01:32 | And we have initialized them by assigning values as 5 and 2. |
01:39 | A global variable is available to all functions in your program. |
01:44 | These are declared outside any functions, above main() function. |
01:51 | These have a global scope. |
01:53 | Here we have declared a function add without arguments. |
01:59 | Here 'sum' is a local variable, it is declared inside the function add. |
02:07 | A local variable is available only to the function inside which it is declared. |
02:13 | These variables are declared inside a block. |
02:16 | These have local scope. |
02:19 | Then sum of a & b will be stored in the variable 'sum'. Here we print the sum. |
02:29 | This is our main() function. |
02:33 | The add function is called and then executed. |
02:38 | And this is our return statement. |
02:40 | Now click on Save. |
02:43 | Let us execute the program. |
02:45 | Please open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
02:55 | To compile, type gcc space scope.c space hyphen o space sco and press Enter. |
03:05 | To execute, type ./sco (dot slash sco), press Enter. |
03:10 | The output is displayed as |
03:13 | Sum of a and b is 7. |
03:16 | Now let us see how to execute the same program in C++. |
03:20 | Come back to our program. First press Shift, Ctrl & S keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
03:31 | Now save the file with an extension .cpp (dot cpp) and click on Save. |
03:41 | Let us change the header file as iostream. |
03:47 | Now include the using statement. Click on save . |
03:58 | The declaration of global variable and local variable is same in C++. |
04:03 | So, no need to change anything. |
04:07 | Now replace the printf statement with the cout statement. |
04:13 | Delete the format specifier and '\n'. |
04:17 | Now delete the comma. |
04:19 | Type two opening angle brackets. |
04:22 | Delete the closing bracket, again type two opening angle brackets. |
04:26 | And within the double quotes type backslash n. Now click on Save. |
04:35 | Let us execute the program. |
04:39 | Come back to our terminal. |
04:42 | To compile, type g++ space scope dot cpp space -o space sco1 |
04:52 | Here we have sco1 because we don't want to overwrite output parameter sco for the file 'scope.c'. |
05:04 | Now press Enter. |
05:07 | To execute type ./sco1 and press Enter. |
05:14 | The output is displayed as Sum of a and b is 7. |
05:19 | We can see that it is similar to our C code. |
05:27 | Now we will see some common errors which we can come across. |
05:31 | Come back to our program. Suppose here I will declare a variable a again. |
05:41 | Type int a and a semicolon. |
05:45 | Click on Save. We have declared the variable 'a' above the main() function and after the add function. |
05:55 | Let us see what happens. |
05:57 | Come back to our terminal. |
06:01 | Now compile as before. |
06:05 | We see errors, redefinition of 'int a' , 'int a' previously defined here. Come back to our program. |
06:18 | a is a global variable. |
06:20 | It has a global scope. |
06:22 | We cannot declare the variable twice as it is already declared globally. |
06:27 | We can only declare variable a as a local variable . |
06:34 | Let us fix the error. |
06:36 | Delete this . |
06:39 | Click on Save. |
06:41 | Let us execute again Come back to our terminal. |
06:45 | Now compile as before, execute as before. |
06:49 | Yes, it is working. |
06:52 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
06:56 | Let us summarize. |
06:58 | In this tutorial we learnt , |
07:00 | Scope of variable, |
07:02 | Global variable, e.g : int a=5 & |
07:07 | and local variable ,e.g:int sum |
07:12 | As an assignment, |
07:14 | write a program to print the difference of two numbers. |
