Expression statement in c


It is possible to convert expressions into statements.  All we need to do is add a semicolon at the end of expressions.  Consider the following,

1 + 1;
2 * 2;
3 / 3;
10 <= 9;

All of the above are valid expression statements.  But, they are useless since we are not storing the result of the expression in any variable.  We won't get any compilation error when we include the above statements in our code.  Expression statements are useful when we store the result of the expression in some variable as shown below.

x = 1 + 1;
y = 2 * 2;
res = (10 <= 9);


  #include <stdio.h>
  int main() {
        int x, y, res;
        2 + 3;
        4 * 9;
        10 < 2;
        x = 2 + 3;
        y = 4 * 9;
        res = (10 < 2);
        printf("Value of x is %d\n", x);
        printf("Value of y is %d\n", y);
        printf("Value of res is %d\n", res);
        return 0;
  }

  Output:
  jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./a.out
  Value of x is 5
  Value of y is 36
  Value of res is 0

textcolor in c

textcolor function is used to change the color of drawing text in c programs. Declaration :- void textcolor(int color); where color is an integer variable. For example 0 means BLACK color, 1 means BLUE, 2 means GREEN and soon. You can also use write appropriate color instead of integer. For example you can write textcolor(YELLOW); to change text color to YELLOW. But use colors in capital letters only. C programming code to change text color #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> main() {    textcolor(RED);    cprintf("C programming");    getch();    return 0; } C programming code for blinking text #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> main() {    textcolor(MAGENTA+BLINK);    cprintf("C programming");    getch();    return 0; } Note that we have used cprintf function instead of printf. This is because cprintf send formatted output to text window on screen and...
