| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Tokens in C and C Plus Plus. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn , |
| 00:09 | How to define and use tokens. |
| 00:12 | We will do this with the help of an example. |
| 00:15 | We will also see some common errors and their solutions. |
| 00:20 | To record this tutorial, |
| 00:21 | I am using Ubuntu Operating system version 11.10, |
| 00:26 | gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1. |
| 00:33 | Let us start with an introduction. |
| 00:36 | Token is a generic word for data types, variables, constants and identifiers. |
| 00:46 | Let us start with our program. |
| 00:49 | I have already typed the code on the editor. |
| 00:53 | Let me open it. |
| 00:56 | Note that our file name is Tokens.c. |
| 01:04 | In this program we will initialize the variables and print their values. |
| 01:09 | Let me explain the code now. |
| 01:12 | This is our header file. |
| 01:16 | This is our main function. |
| 01:20 | Here, int is a keyword. |
| 01:22 | The compiler knows the meaning of keywords. |
| 01:26 | a is an integer variable. |
| 01:28 | We have assigned a value of 2 to it. |
| 01:32 | This is called as initialization. |
| 01:35 | If a value is not assigned to a variable then it is called as declaration of the variable. |
| 01:43 | Here, b is a constant. |
| 01:46 | We have initialized 'b' by assigning a value of 4 to it. |
| 01:53 | const keyword is used to create 'read only' variable. |
| 01:58 | Let us switch back to our slides to know more about keywords and constant. |
| 02:06 | Keywords have fixed meanings that cannot be changed. |
| 02:11 | Keywords cannot be used as variable names. |
| 02:15 | There are 32 keywords in C. |
| 02:18 | To name some, auto, break, case, char, enum, extern, etc. |
| 02:28 | Constants, Constants are fixed values. |
| 02:33 | They do not change during the execution of a program. |
| 02:38 | There are two types of constants, Numeric constants and Character constants. |
| 02:45 | Now come back to our program. |
| 02:47 | Here, float is a data type of variable c. |
| 02:52 | We have assigned it a value of 1.5. |
| 02:56 | Data type is a finite set of values along with a set of rules. |
| 03:04 | Here, d is a variable. |
| 03:07 | char and single quotes suggest that we are dealing with a character. |
| 03:12 | As a result, d is a character variable storing the value A. |
| 03:20 | It is easy to see that int, double float and char are data types. |
| 03:30 | a, c and d are variables. |
| 03:35 | Now come back to our slides. |
| 03:37 | We will know more about data types and variable. |
| 03:48 | Data types: Let us begin with integer data type. |
| 03:50 | It is declared as int. |
| 03:53 | If we want to print an integer data type , we will use %d as the format specifier. |
| 04:01 | Similarly, we will use float and %f for floating point numbers. |
| 04:09 | For character data type, we will use char and %c. |
| 04:15 | And For double data type, we will use double and %lf as the format specifier. |
| 04:24 | Now we will see the range of data types. |
| 04:29 | Integer data type has a range of this |
| 04:34 | Floating point has a range of this |
| 04:39 | Character has a range of this |
| 04:42 | And Double has a range of this |
| 04:47 | The values stored in the variable must not be greater or less than this range. |
| 04:56 | Now we will move on to variables. |
| 05:00 | Variable is a data name. |
| 05:02 | It may be used to store a data value . |
| 05:06 | The values can change when a program runs. |
| 05:10 | Before using a variable it must be declared. |
| 05:14 | We should try to give meaningful names to variables. |
| 05:18 | example john, marks, sum etc. |
| 05:24 | Now we will move back to our program. |
| 05:27 | Here, printf is the identifier name for this function. |
| 05:32 | Come back to our slides. |
| 05:35 | Let us know about identifiers. |
| 05:38 | Identifiers are user defined names. |
| 05:41 | An identifier consists of letters and digits. |
| 05:46 | Both uppercase and lowercase letters are permitted. |
| 05:51 | First character must be an alphabet or underscore. |
| 05:55 | Now Come back to our program. |
| 05:58 | Here we have initialized the variables and constants. |
| 06:02 | Here we print them. |
| 06:05 | And this is our return statement. |
| 06:08 | Now click on Save. |
| 06:10 | Let us execute the program. |
| 06:12 | Please open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
| 06:21 | To compile, type gcc space tokens dot c space hyphen o tok. Press Enter. |
| 06:30 | To execute, type ./tok(dot slash tok) |
| 06:35 | The output is displayed. |
| 06:39 | We can see that here we have six values after the decimal point. |
| 06:44 | And here we have two values. |
| 06:48 | Now let us find out how this happened. Come back to our program. |
| 06:54 | This is because we have % point 2f here. |
| 06:59 | It denotes that we can print only two values after the decimal point. |
| 07:04 | Suppose here I want an output with three decimal places. |
| 07:09 | Let us replace % point 2f with % point 3f. |
| 07:16 | Now click on Save. |
| 07:19 | Come back to our terminal. |
| 07:22 | Compile as before, execute as before. |
| 07:28 | We see here three values after the decimal point. |
| 07:33 | Now we will execute the same program in c++. |
| 07:36 | Come back to our program. |
| 07:40 | I will change a few things here. |
| 07:42 | First press Shift+Ctrl+s keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
| 07:50 | Now save the file with an extension .cpp and click on Save. |
| 07:58 | Let us change the header file as iostream |
| 08:03 | Now include the using statement. |
| 08:08 | And click on Save. |
| 08:11 | Now replace the printf statement with the cout statement |
| 08:15 | since we use cout<< function to print a line in C++. |
| 08:21 | Click on Search for and replace text option. |
| 08:27 | Type here printf opening bracket “(” |
| 08:33 | And here in this column type, cout and two opening angle brackets “<<”. |
| 08:40 | Now click on Replace All and click on Close. |
| 08:45 | We don't need the format specifier and '\n' |
| 08:50 | Let us delete them. |
| 08:52 | Now delete the comma and type two opening angle brackets. |
| 09:01 | Click on Save. Now delete the closing bracket. |
| 09:04 | Type two opening angle brackets again. |
| 09:09 | And within the double quotes type \n. |
| 09:16 | Now Click on Save. |
| 09:20 | Let us execute the program. Come back to our terminal. |
| 09:24 | To compile, type g++ space tokens dot cpp space hyphen o space tok1. |
| 09:35 | Here we have tok1 because we don't want to overwrite the output parameter tok for the file tokens.c. |
| 09:46 | Now press Enter. |
| 09:48 | To execute, type ./tok1 . Press Enter. |
| 09:55 | The output is displayed. |
| 09:59 | Now let us move on to some common errors which we can come across. |
| 10:03 | Come back to our program. |
| 10:05 | Suppose here I will reassign a new value to b as 8. |
| 10:12 | Now click on Save. Let us see what happens. |
| 10:15 | Come back to our terminal. |
| 10:17 | Let me clear the prompt. |
| 10:22 | Now compile as before. |
| 10:26 | We see an error at line no.7 in our tokens. cpp file. |
| 10:32 | Assignment of read only variable b. |
| 10:36 | Come back to our program. |
| 10:39 | This is because 'b' is a constant. Constants are fixed values. |
| 10:45 | They do not change during the execution of program. |
| 10:49 | Hence it is giving an error. Let us fix the error. |
| 10:54 | Delete this. Click on Save. |
| 10:57 | Let us execute again. Come back to our terminal. |
| 11:01 | Compile as before. |
| 11:03 | Execute as before. Yes, it is working. |
| 11:09 | Now we will see another common error. |
| 11:12 | Switch back to our program. |
| 11:15 | Suppose here I will miss the single quotes. Click on Save. |
| 11:21 | Let us execute. Come back to our terminal. |
| 11:25 | Compile as before. |
| 11:28 | We see an error at line no.9 in our tokens dot cpp file. |
| 11:34 | A was not declared in the scope. Come back to our program. |
| 11:40 | This is because anything within the single quotes is considered as a character value. |
| 11:47 | And here we have declared 'd' as a character variable. |
| 11:53 | Let us fix the error. Type single quotes at line no.9 here. |
| 11:59 | Now Click on Save. Let us execute. |
| 12:02 | Come back to our terminal. |
| 12:04 | Now Compile as before. |
| 12:06 | Execute as before. Yes it is working. |
| 12:13 | Now switch back to our slides. |
| 12:15 | Let us summarize. |
| 12:16 | In this tutorial we learnt, |
| 12:18 | * Data types eg. int, double, float etc. |
| 12:24 | * Variables eg. int a=2; |
| 12:29 | * Identifiers eg. printf() and |
| 12:34 | * Constant eg. double const b=4; |
| 12:40 | As an assignment, |
| 12:41 | Write a program to calculate the simple interest. |
| 12:45 | Hint: principal * rate * time upon 100. |
