C Programming

C programming language is used to learn programming concepts and getting along with program development environment before learning other more complex programming languages. Following are a list of topics on C programming.

Introduction to c programming

To expose C program for the first time. TO learn basic structure of a C program and tools needed to write them.

Hello world program

This is the first program written in any programming language to learn how a program is written and to study how the program is executed.

Data types and variables

To use variables in a program, we must understand what types of data is supported by the programming language. Supported data types are int, float, double and char. A variable which is a memory location which stores data into it, must be prepared to hold these different types of data. Its because these data is stored differently and their sizes also differs.

Input and output

To enable program to interact with it users by allowing them to give inputs and display processed output back to them. Normally inputs are given using keyboard and output by default produces on computer screen. Typically outputs are formatted strings.

Condition

Conditional statement enable us to write a program that controls the flow of execution. We can control the flow by executing statement only when condition is meet, and skip few steps if condition is wrong. It also allows to execute statements in repetitive way.

Function

Function is a collection of statement that under a specific name that performs specific task when called. Function also a way to break down a program into smaller units. A C program at least has one function, and it the main function. There are twp types of function: predefined functions from library and user defined functions.

Array

Array is a collection of data that are of same type under same name. Data in an array is referred to as elements and each elements are referenced using index. Once an array is created, the size of the array of the number of elements in an array is fixed.

Structure

Similar to array, structure is a collection of data that uses same name. The difference is the data in a structure are from different data type. Structures are used to better manage data, by grouping them to represent a single entity in a program. Individual elements in a structure are access using dot operator.

Pointer

Pointers are powerful tool that are used to refer to memory location of a variable. Pointers can be used to access the data of a variable and to manipulate the address of the variable.

String

A string is an array of characters.Strings are enclosed in double quotation marks (") and are used to show as an output. Strings can be manipulated using various functions.

Drawing Simple Pie Chart

Image
To draw pie chart with 5 sectors. The program calculates the total of all the input given by user and find the angle in degrees to draw each sectors. When the program first loads, chart based on default values is painted by the program. User can edit the values in the text field and presses draw button to redraw the chart. Each time the draw button is pressed, new set of angle is calculated and repainted. I have attached the the sources for this program. It is simple and needs upgrades. Pie.java This class executed the program and initializes the components JTextField and JPanel to draw the chart. package coolApp.graphics; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class Pie { JTextField a,b,c,d,e; JButton btnDraw; double total; JPanel contentPane; Pie(){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("Pie - CoolApps"); frame.setSize(500,500); contentPane = new JPanel(); contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); frame

VB.net connecting to SQL Server

Connecting to SQL server 2014 from VB.Net 2017, read values from the database and display the data in windows form. Before begin to write this program, first we need to import SqlClient class. Imports System.Data.SqlClient Step 1 Create a sql connection object. This is to make connection to object. Dim conn As New SqlConnection() Step 2 Set the connection string to the sqlconnection object: conn.ConnectionString = connStr Road block The variable connStr is a connection string. Connection object need connection string to make connection to database. It has information like who providing the database, the name of the database and some security information. Dim connStr As String = "Data Source = ServerInstanceName;Initial Catalog=testDB;Integrated Security=True" Let's break down the connection string into the three main components. Dim provider As String = "ServerInstanceName;" Dim database As String = "Initial Catalog=testDB;" Dim

VB.net

a quick and convenient way to build a window based application. basically there is two main components in VB, the design view where we place the controls on a window form. then we have the code view where we write implementation for each controls on the form. Typically the control implementation or procedures are executed when certain events happens to the controls. Events like mouse click, or value change on text box, form load, form close and so on. After working with programming language like C, C++ and Java, getting use to VB is a bit challenging. its because first of all, VB don't use curly bracket to specify code blocks, and the statements don't end with semicolon. variable declaration for example is written as dim age As Integer in C, C++ and Java it written int age; in VB, variable declaration start with dim keyword, it means dimension and the functions are written as Function addNumber(ByVal num1 As Integer, ByVal num2 As Integer) As Integer addNumber
