Topics discussed in this section: 3-1 Expressions An expression is a sequence of operands and operators that reduces to a single value. Expressions can be simple or complex. An operator is a syntactical token that requires an action be taken. An operand is an object on which an operation is performed; it receives an operator’s action. Topics discussed in this section: Primary Expressions Postfix Expressions Prefix Expressions Unary Expressions Binary Expressions Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

An expression always reduces to a single value. Note An expression always reduces to a single value. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

Note If ++ is after the operand, as in a++, the increment takes place after the expression is evaluated. If ++ is before the operand, as in ++a, the increment takes place before the expression is evaluated. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

Topics discussed in this section: 3-2 Precedence and Associativity Precedence is used to determine the order in which different operators in a complex expression are evaluated. Associativity is used to determine the order in which operators with the same precedence are evaluated in a complex expression.

FIGURE 3-8 Left-to-Right Associativity Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

FIGURE 3-9 Right-to-Left Associativity Associativity used when operators have same precedence: the += type operatorrs use R->L associativity, basic math operators like * use L->R FIGURE 3-9 Right-to-Left Associativity Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

So you can have things like: int i =1; int j =2; i = j So you can have things like: int i =1; int j =2; i = j*= 2; // i = j = 4 after i += j+=2; // j=6, i = 10 // after Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

You can actually say int i, sum; i = sum = 3 +1; // Right to left // associativity And i will equal 4, but it is not good programming practice. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

3-3 Side Effects A side effect is an action that results from the evaluation of an expression. For example, in an assignment, C first evaluates the expression on the right of the assignment operator and then places the value in the left variable. Changing the value of the left variable is a side effect. Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C

Topics discussed in this section: 3-5 Type Conversion Up to this point, we have assumed that all of our expressions involved data of the same type. But, what happens when we write an expression that involves two different data types, such as multiplying an integer and a floating-point number? To perform these evaluations, one of the types must be converted.

3-6 Statements A statement causes an action to be performed by the program. It translates directly into one or more executable computer instructions. You may have noticed that we have used a semicolon at the end of the statements in our programs. Most statements need a semicolon at the end; some do not.
