Presentation Transcript

  1. Week 3-4 • Control flow (review) • Conditional statements • If, else, else if, switch-case, break • Loop constructs • for, while, do-while, break, continue, label--go; • Function definition • Return type, parameter definition, parameter passing • Function calls and standard library • Program Structures • Preprocessing • Header files, Application Programming Interfaces (API) • Scope rules • C library

  2. Conditional statements • If, else, else if, • switch-case, break • http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~yuw/459-21/switch.c

  3. Control flow • Loop constructs • for • while • do-while • Other flow control methods • break • continue • label—go • Sample programs • calculate the sum of 1-10 using different loops

  4. Function • Function prototype • return type • argument definition • Function calls • basic syntax • parameter passing • Example: find the next prime number

  5. Function Organization • A set of functions • Defined in the same files as main() • Add two more interfaces: • my_isuppercase() and my_islowercase() • Sample program • Use separated file • Header files • Application Programming Interfaces (API) • How to modify the above sample • counting.c • new_ctype.h • new_ctype.c • Separated compilation

  6. Recursion • A function can call itself • Directly • Indirectly • examples: • Calculate the power of x to y • Find a matching number in an increasing array of integers

  7. Scope Rules • Scope: • Where the variable or function definitions can be accessed • Local and global variables • Local: a variable defined inside a function • Global: a variable defined outside of functions • external variable • Note: global variable and external variables • Typically used when a global variable is used in another file

  8. Scope Rules -- continued • static variable • Value are retained on exit from function • Limited scope • Only accessible within the same file • Or other source files that ‘include’s this file • Automatic variables: • Typically local variables • variables that are automatically created/destroyed • Register variable: • variables are saved in register for fast access

  9. Function scope • All functions are defined externally • Static function, limited scope • Inline functions

  10. Preprocessing • Preprocessing directives • file inclusion • #include • code replacement • #define • Others • #error, #warning • #pragma, machine or platform dependent • Conditional compilation • #ifdef -- #endif; #if EXP -- #endif • Conditional inclusion • #ifdef #include #endif

  11. C library • Library: • A collection of object files that contains the function definitions • Static and shared libraries • Static library • Copies of function definitions are compiled into the final executable • Shared library • Functions are not copied into the final executable • Information are recorded in the image so that the correct library will loaded on demand when the program starts up.

  12. C library -- continued • Creating libraries on *nix systems • Static library, with suffix .a • gcc -c file1.o • ar cr libc459.a file1.o • Shared library, with suffix .so • gcc -c -fPIC file1.c • gcc -shared -fPIC -o libc459.so file1.o
