Storage classes in C

DEFINITION:- 

Storage class define the scope(visibilty) and life time of a variables or functions within a C program.Storage class are associated with the variables for describing the features of any variables or functions.

There are 4 types of storage classes:



  1. auto:- auto is the default storage class for all local variable(i.e the variable inside function).auto keyword is used to define the storage classes.





  2. register :- register is used to define the local variables that should be stored in a register instead of RAM(random access memory) , this means that unary operator (& or reference) can't applied.Register variables work fast than the variable stored in RAM.Register variable are used for looping.

  3. static:- it is the default storage classes for global variables.global static variable can be accessed in any part of the program.The default value is assigned 0 by the compiler.static keyword is used to define the static variable.

  4. extern:- the extern is used to feature a variables to be used from different blocks within the same program. for extern storage class , extern is used.to give a reference of a global variable that is visible to all the program files.

Type casting

type casting or type conversion  allows us to convert one data types into another.for type casting cast operator is required. Syntax:--      (type)expression or value; Example:       int f =9/4; //without type casting       o/p=2       float f=(float)9/4;  //with type casting       o/p=2.3 Type conversion are of two types: 1)Implicit Type Conversion:-  it is also known as automatic type conversion.When the type conversion is performed automatically by the compiler,such type of conversion is known as implicit type conversion. 2)Explicit Type Conversion:-  the type conversion performed by the programmer is known as explicit type conversion.which is done by cast operator as above mentioned.

UNION

Definition:-                 Union is similar to structure, except it allows you to define the variable that share storage spaces.Defining a means creating a new data types. How use union:-                       when we create a structure by using struct keyword, now making a union we just replace the keyword struct with the keyword union , other syntax will be same. Difference  between Structure  and Union:- the only difference between them is in memory. NOTE:-  union is used for low level programming but structure mostly used for high level programming. Program to access union:- """SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS IF HE DID NOT KNOW""""

Recursion--

Definition:- when a function call itself is called recursion. note:- the problem which is solved by recursion is also solved by loops, but it is not necessary the problem solved by loops is also solved by recursion.  Example:- Explanation:- 1) a fun function declared which takes argument and return value 2) main starts fun is called by passing 3 value 3)after calling fun definition starts, where check if a==1 no because a is 3, s=a+fun(a-1) means s=3+fun(2)  from here fun function is again called now this body again execute now a is 2, so s=3+fun(2), fun(2) is replaced by 2+fun(2-1=1) i.e s=3+2+fun(1) again fun function is called... overall s=3+2+1=6, s is return this return value goes where fun function is called , where return value is stored in k, so k=6 now print is 6.
