A picture is worth a thousand words...


As a way to understand how my students view computer scientists, I asked them to draw a picture of a computer scientist or an image to represent computer science.  It was fascinating to see their perceptions and understandings come alive through a drawing.

I love how this student addressed misconceptions about what people think of when they think of computer scientists and then addressed those myths by including images of "tech women" and "tech man."

I love this drawing with the message that "anyone can do it!" and that computer scientists always have their "thinking cap" on.  Then there is the message that computer scientists are "always using their knowledge to think of new innovations." Last, but not least, computer scientists are today's superheroes!

Here's another representation with the message of iteration and perseverance.  "Computer scientists iterate until the achieve what they wanted to achieve!"

Operators And Separators In C Language Operators in C Language:

Below are various operators available in C Programming language.  They are used to perform operations arithmetic, logical, relational, bitwise, assignment, etc.  We will see more about all the below operators in details in the forth coming chapters. Operators Name Of Operators [ ] ( ) . -> ++ -- Array subscript Function Call Structure reference Structure dereference Postfix increment/Postfix decrement ++ -- + - ! ~ (type) *  & sizeof Prefix increment/Prefix decrement Unary plus/Unary minus Logical negation/One's complement Typecast operator Pointer dereference/Address of Size of type/variable in bytes *  /  % Multiplication/Division/Modulo + - Addition/Subtraction <<   >> Bitwise left shift/ Bitwise right shift <    > <= >= Comparison less than/Comparision greater than Comparison less than or equal to Comparison greater than or equal to ==   != Comparison equal to/Comparison not equal to & Bitwise AND ^ Bitwise XOR

Difference between asterisk and ampersand operators in c

Address Operator (& - Ampersand): Returns address of the given variable.  Consider the following example, int *ptr, var = 10; ptr = &var; ptr = &var sets the address of the variable var to pointer ptr.  & is also called as reference operator. Let us try to understand the purpose of reference operator using the following example program.   #include <stdio.h>   int main() {         int var = 10, *ptr;         /* assigning address of variable var to pointer ptr */         ptr = &var;         /* printing the address of the variable var */         printf("Address of var is 0x%x\n", &var);         /* printing the value of pointer ptr */         printf("Value of ptr is 0x%x\n", ptr);         return 0;   }   Output:   jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./a.out   Address of var is 0xbfdf202c   Value of ptr is 0xbfdf202c Indirection Operator('*' - asterisk): The dereference operator is an unary operator which returns the value of
