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 11.10gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1. |
00.33 | Let us start with an introduction |
00.37 | 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. 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. This is our header file. |
01.16 | This is our main functions. |
01.20 | Here, int is a keyword |
01.22 | The compiler knows the meaning of keywords. |
01.26 | a is an integer variable |
01.29 | 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, const, default, enum extern, etc. |
02.28 | Constants are fixed values. |
02.34 | They do not change during the execution of a program. 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 |
02.57 | Data type is a finite set of values along with a set of rules |
03.05 | Here, d is a variable |
03.07 | Char and single quotes suggest that we are dealing with a character |
03.13 | 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 datatypes. |
03.30 | a, c and d are variables |
03.36 | Now come back to our slides. |
03.38 | We will know more about datatypes and variable |
03.48 | Let us begin with integer data type |
03.51 | 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 use double and %lf as the format specifier. |
04.25 | Now we will see the range of data types |
04.29 | Integerdata type has a range of this -32,768 to 32,767 |
04.34 | Floating point has a range of this 3.4E +/-38 |
04.39 | Character has a range of this -128 to 127 |
04.42 | And Double has a range of this 1.7E +/-308 |
04.48 | 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. |
05.03 | 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 |
05.15 | We should try to give meaningful names to variables |
05.19 | example john, marks, sum etc. |
05.24 | Now move back to our program. |
05.27 | Here, printf is the identifier name for this function
|
05.32 | Come back to our slides. 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. Here we print them. |
06.05 | And this is our return statement. Now click on save. |
06.10 | Let us execute the program |
06.12 | Please open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
06.21 | To compile ,Type gcc tokens.c -o tok press Enter |
06.30 | To execute type./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 %.2f here. |
06.59 | It denotes that we can print only two values after the decimal point.
|
07.04 | here I want an output with three decimal places. |
07.09 | Let us replace %.2f with %.3f |
07.16 | Now Click on Save |
07.20 | Come back to the terminal. compile as before, execute as before. |
07.29 | We can see here three values after the decimal point. |
07.33 | NOW WE WILL EXECUTE THE SAME PROGRAM IN C++
|
07.37 | 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 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 |
08.28 | Type here printf opening bracket “(” |
08.33 | And here in this column type, |
08.35 | cout and two opening angle brackets “<<”. Now click on Replace All and click on Close. |
08.45 | We don't need the format specifier /n |
08.50 | Let us delete them.Now delete the comma. |
08.54 | And type two opening angle brackets. |
09.01 | Click on Save. Now delete the closing bracket
|
09.06 | Type two opening angle brackets again.
|
09.09 | And within the double quotes type \n. Now Click on Save |
09.20 | Let us execute the program.Come back to the terminal. |
09.24 | To compile , type g++ tokens.cpp -o tok 1
|
09.35 | Here we have tok1 |
09.36 | Because we don't want to overwrite the output parameter tok for the file tokens.c . 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.Suppose here I will reassign a new value to b as 8. |
10.13 | now Click on Save. Let us see what happens. |
10.15 | Come back to our terminal.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 |
10.40 | This is because b is a constant. Constants are fixed values. |
10.46 | 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.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. 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. |
12.14 | 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 C program to calculate the simple interest. |
12.45 | Hint: Simple Interest = principal * rate * time / 100 |
