Pointers in C

A Pointer is a variable in C that contains address of another variable.

A pointer variable is denoted by

int *p; //This means p is a pointer to an integer variable

* is Value at Address operator

& is Address of Operator

int x =15; //x is an integer variable

int *ptr1 = &x //Now p contains the address of x..i.e ptr is a pointer to x

int **ptr2 = &ptr1 //And ptr2 contains the address of ptr1..so prt2 is a pointer to a pointer


#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
    int x=15;
    int *ptr1;
    int **ptr2;

    ptr1 = &x; //Now ptr contains the address of x
    ptr2 = &ptr1; //ptr2 contains the address of ptr

    printf("\nAddress of x = %u", &x);
    printf("\nValue of x = %d", x);
    printf("\nValue of x = %d", *(&x));

    printf("\n ");
    printf("\nAddress of ptr1 = %u", &ptr1);
    printf("\nValue of ptr1 / Address of x = %d", ptr1);
    printf("\nValue at address pointed by ptr1/Value of x = %d", *ptr1);

    printf("\n ");
    printf("\nAddress of ptr2 = %u", &ptr2);
    printf("\nValue of ptr2 / Address of ptr1 = %d", ptr2);
    printf("\nValue at address pointed ptr2 / Address of x= %d", *ptr2);
    printf("\nValue at address pointed by ptr1 which is pointed by ptr2/Value of x = %d", **ptr2);

    getch();
    return 0;

C Program printing Celsius-Fahrenheit table

Hi Friends!!

This is the 2nd Program of our Temperature Conversion Table.

This time we converted from Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula

F = C *(9/5)+32

where

C is Celsius
F is Fahrenheit 

Here is the program

/*Program printing Celsius-Fahrenheit table*/

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

#define LOWER 0 /* lower limit of table */

#define UPPER 200 /* upper limit */

#define STEP 10 /* step size */

 

int main()

{

     int celc;

     printf(” Celsius\t Fahrenheit\n\n “);

     for (celc = LOWER; celc <= UPPER; celc = celc + STEP)

     printf(” %d \t   %6.1f\n”, celc, celc *(9.0/5.0)+32);

    

     getch();

     return 0;   

}

A Simple C Program

Hello Friends,

This is a very simple C Program demonstrating input, output using printf(), scanf() functions in C. It also shows how to write and call some simple functions in C without any argument or return type.

Level- Beginner

Hello.c
