1. Definitions

| |
| Define some words as follows: |
| |
 Datatypes: |
– The datatype of an object in memory determines the set of values it can have and what operations that can be performed on it.
– C is a weakly typed language. It allows implicit conversions as well as forced (potentially dangerous) casting. |
| Operators: |
– Operators specify how an object can be manipulated (e.g.,, numeric vs. string operations).
– operators can be unary(e.g., -,++),binary (e.g., +,-,*,/),ternary (?:) |
| Expressions: |
| – An expression in a programming language is a combination of values, variables, operators, and functions |
| Variables: |
| – A variable is as named link/reference to a value stored in the system’s memory or an expression that can be evaluated. |
| |
| Consider: int x=0,y=0; y=x+2;. where x, y are variables, y = x +2 is an expression, and + is an operator. |
