Rules for Constructing Character Constants

Rules for Constructing Character Constants



A character constant is a single alphabet.
A single digit or a single special symbol enclosed within single inverted commas. 
Both the inverted commas should point to the left.


For example:


                     ’A’ is a valid character constant whereas ‘A’ is not.

The maximum length of a character constant can be 1 character.

Ex.: 

'A'
'I'
'5'

'='

The type declaration statement is written at the beginning of main( ) function. Ex.: int bas ; float rs, grosssal ; char name, code ; There are several subtle variations of the type declaration instruction. These are discussed below: While declaring the type of variable we can also initialize it as shown below. int i = 10, j = 25 ; float a = 1.5, b = 1.99 + 2.4 * 1.44 ; The order in which we define the variables is sometimes important sometimes not. For example, int i = 10, j = 25 ; is same as int j = 25, j = 10 ; However, float a = 1.5, b = a + 3.1 ; is alright, but float b = a + 3.1, a = 1.5 ;         is not. This is because here we are trying to use a even before defining it. The following statements would work int a, b, c, d ; a = b = ...
