All rights reserved. 0136097200 12 Identifiers F An identifier is a sequence of characters that consists of letters, digits, and underscores (_). F An identifier must start with a letter or an underscore. It cannot start with a digit. F An identifier cannot be a reserved word. (See Appendix A, “C++ Keywords,” for a list of reserved words.),-- creates lots of syntax errors ! F An identifier can be of any length, but your C++ compiler may impose some restriction. Use identifiers of 31 characters or fewer to ensure portability.

13. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 Identifiers F InnerCap naming method vs underlines –Screen space can become important F Use good names with rich meanings: –Names are important –Magic – if you know something’s true name, you can control it. –Interest rate vs MonthlyInterestRate vs MonthlyDecimalInterestRate F Consistent abbreviations: –Num, no, nm, number – pick one and stick w/ it 13

18. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 18 Named Constants const datatype CONSTANTNAME = VALUE; const double PI = 3.14159; const int SIZE = 3; Why use const or #define: Don’t bake in constants, particularly in multiple locations. Things change. Constant with good name makes code easier to read.

19. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 19 Numerical Data Types

20. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 20 sizeof Function You can use the sizeof function to find the size of a type. For example, the following statement displays the size of int, long, and double on your machine. cout << sizeof(int) << " " << sizeof(long) << " " << sizeof(double);

21. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 21 Synonymous Types short int is synonymous to short. unsigned short int is synonymous to unsigned short. unsigned int is synonymous to unsigned. long int is synonymous to long. unsigned long int is synonymous to unsigned long. For example, short int i = 2; is same as short i = 2; (I would stick with “short int” and “unsigned short int” to avoid mistakes)

22. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 22 Numeric Literals A literal is a constant value that appears directly in a program. For example, 34, 1000000, and 5.0 are literals in the following statements: int i = 34; long k = 1000000; double d = 5.0; Style note: a given literal constant should appear only once in a program – constants are not constant!

23. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 23 why called floating-point? The float and double types are used to represent numbers with a decimal point. Why are they called floating-point numbers? These numbers are stored into scientific notation. When a number such as 50.534e+1 is converted into scientific notation such as 5.0534, its decimal point is moved (i.e., floated) to a new position. Precision limits to floating point – how stored and example

24. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 24 Numeric Operators Remainder often called modulus or MOD

25. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 25 Integer Division +, -, *, /, and % 5 / 2 yields an integer 2. 5.0 / 2 yields a double value 2.5 5 % 2 yields 1 (the remainder of the division)

26. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 26 Remainder Operator Remainder is very useful in programming. For example, an even number % 2 is always 0 and an odd number % 2 is always 1. So you can use this property to determine whether a number is even or odd. Suppose today is Saturday and you and your friends are going to meet in 10 days. What day is in 10 days? You can find that day is Tuesday using the following expression:

27. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 27 Example: Displaying Time Write a program that obtains hours and minutes from seconds. DisplayTime Run

28. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 28 Overflow When a variable is assigned a value that is too large to be stored, it causes overflow. For example, executing the following statement causes overflow, because the largest value that can be stored in a variable of the short type is 32767. 32768 is too large. short value = 32767 + 1;

32. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 32 Increment and Decrement Operators OperatorNameDescription ++varpreincrementThe expression (++var) increments var by 1 and evaluates to the new value in var after the increment. var++postincrementThe expression (var++) evaluates to the original value in var and increments var by 1. --varpredecrementThe expression (--var) decrements var by 1 and evaluates to the new value in var after the decrement. var--postdecrement The expression (var--) evaluates to the original value in var and decrements var by 1. These are ok as stand alone statements, but don’t use them inside an assignment statement. Consider the following: i = i++ + i <- different compliers will do different things – just don’t go there. The way to fix a bug is to not make it in the first place. Develop coding styles that minimize the number of bugs you create.

34. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 34 Numeric Type Conversion Consider the following statements: short i = 100; long k = i * 3 + 4; double d = i * 3.1 + k / 2;

35. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 35 Type Casting Implicit casting double d = 3; (type widening) Explicit casting //this is better int i = static_cast (3.0); (type narrowing) int i = (int)3.9; (Fraction part is truncated)

36. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 36 NOTE Casting does not change the variable being cast. For example, d is not changed after casting in the following code: double d = 4.5; int i = static_cast (d); // d is not changed

37. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 37 NOTE The GNU and Visual C++ compilers will give a warning when you narrow a type unless you use static_cast to make the conversion explicit.

38. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 38 Character Data Type char letter = 'A'; (ASCII) char numChar = '4'; (ASCII) NOTE: The increment and decrement operators can also be used on char variables to get the next or preceding character. For example, the following statements display character b. char ch = 'a'; Ch++; cout << ch;

39. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 39 Read Characters To read a character from the keyboard, use cout << "Enter a character: "; char ch; cin >> ch;

44. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 44 Numeric Operators on Characters The char type is treated as if it is an integer of the byte size. All numeric operators can be applied to char operands. A char operand is automatically cast into a number if the other operand is a number or a character. For example, the following statements int i = '2' + '3'; // (int)'2' is 50 and (int)'3' is 51 cout << "i is " << i << endl; // i is decimal 101 int j = 2 + 'a'; // (int)'a' is 97 cout << "j is " << j << endl; cout << j << " is the ASCII code for character " << static_cast (j) << endl; Display i is 101 j is 99 99 is the ASCII code for character c

45. Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0136097200 45 Note It is worthwhile to note that the ASCII for lowercase letters are consecutive integers starting from the code for 'a', then for 'b', 'c',..., and 'z'. The same is true for the uppercase letters. Furthermore, the ASCII code for 'a' is greater than the code for 'A'. So 'a' - 'A' is the same as 'b' - 'B'. For a lowercase letter ch, its corresponding uppercase letter is static_cast ('A' + (ch - 'a')).
