C Programming - 3. Bits & Bytes

Bits

Bits means the measurement of computer memory where we can store binary number or word. N-bits memory can store n-bits binary number or words

for example :

         1-bit memory can store either  1 or 0

because 1 and 0 are 1-bit binary numbers

         2-bit memory can store:
                                                  00
                                                  01
                                                  10
                                                  11


        3-bit memory can store:
                                                 000
                                                 001
                                                 010
                                                 011
                                                 100
                                                 101
                                                 110
                                                 111

and so on


Byte

1-byte memory consists of 8-bits that mean 1-byte memory can store, 8-bit binary number.

The byte is likely the unit to the measurement of computer memory.

So, it will be better if you know some relations

                                  8-bit = 1 byte
                                  1024 byte = 1 Kilobyte(KB)
                                  1024 KB = 1 Megabyte(MB)
                                  1024 MB = 1 Gigabyte(GB)
                                  1024 GB = 1 Terabyte(TB)

Happy Coding

C Programming - 4.5 The printf() function

We have been talking about this guy for so long and he finally came And you will see him most of the time whenever you write a C code. So, What printf() function do? It basically prints everything within the double quotation . for example: printf("I am a programmer"); this prints:                     I am a Programmer In full code that will be- #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer");      return 0; } Now, see another code  #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer");      printf("I am a Programmer");      return 0; } the output will be:          I am a ProgrammerI am a Programmer The output is like this because we haven't use newline character to indicate the en...

C Programming - 4.3 Header Files

Now, again see the first C program I wrote #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } Now, what #include <stdio.h> means actually  Here, stdio.h known as a Header file 😮, remember it's not studio.h 😜 . So many persons done that mistake when he/she first write C codes And, the coolest thing about header file is, it will give you a headache 😨 OK, I am just kidding  Header file term refers to that kind of file which contains C function declarations and macro definitions. A C header file contains .h extension. Like in this code stdio.h contains function declaration and definition of printf() that's why we had to include the  stdio.h  header file at the top of the code The basic syntax of including header files on top of the code #include <header_file_name> Now, you can wonder about printf() function, don't worry we will lea...
