Now lets suppose that the value of g is 5 and the value of d is 4. Here a question arises that previously we discussed that all expressions resolve to a value but false is not a value. In programming languages, logic true and logic false do resolve to a value in the end. In most languages, true logic resolves to a non-zero value and logic false resolves to zero.

Relational expressions are designed to resolve to a logical true or false state. So they ultimately do resolve to a value that can be used in a program. A statement is a complete C instruction for the computer. All C statements end with a semicolon. Examples are. In the first example, operands are variable i and The equal sign is called the assignment operator and is used to assign the value on the right hand side of the equal sign to the operand in the left hand side of the assignment operator.

Therefore in the first statement value 50 is assigned to the variable i. Note that this example is nothing more than an expression using the assignment operator with a semicolon in the end of the line. The operand here is 50 and variable is i. We have used a word variable in the explanation of a statement. You must be wondering what is a variable.

A variable is nothing more than a location in the memory that has been assigned a name. In example 2, we have a complex expression with a semicolon at the end. In this expression the value to assign into the variable a is not yet known.

So you must resolve the expression to get that value. Lets suppose that b is equal to 4 and c is equal to 5. Then we can resolve it to the last expression that assigns the value 9 into the variable a by adding semicolon at the end of the line. The expression becomes a statement. For example in previous expression it causes variable a to change its value to 9. In the previous tutorial, we discussed that C compiler is responsible for changing the english like syntax of C into ones and zeros which the microcontroller understands.

For example, if you have a complex statement like shown in above picture. Then the compiler must resolve all of the intermediate expressions like a plus b, c plus g and h plus k before it can determine what new value to assign into variable x. It is the semicolon at the end of the statement that tells the compiler it has all the intermediate information it needs to resolve the statement.

Semicolon is a statement terminator. Each statement must end with a semicolon. Without a semicolon, the compiler would not know when it has the information necessary to process the statement.

Suppose you have the following statement. Where k is equal to 3 and the asterik is the multiplication operator. There are two ways to solve it one way gives j equal to 16 and second method gives j equal to This statement is ambiguous because we are not sure about the order in which the complex expression is resolved.

We are not sure which method to adopt. Arduino C programming resolves such ambiguities by assigning each operator a precedence or priority level.

Operator precedence refers to the order in which complex expressions are resolved. Given table shows the precedence level of an operator. This table shows that multiplication, division and modulo operations are resolved before addition and subtraction. If there is a tie between mathematical operators or we can say that if two operators with same precedence level appear in an expression then we use the concept of associativity.

In this case expressions are resolved by solving the sub expression in a left to right manner. For example multiplication and division operators have same precedence according to the given table.

Because there are more operators than are presented in the table. We will be expanding the precedence table as we learn more about C.

A statement block consists of one or more statements grouped together. So they are viewed by the compiler as though they are a single statement. For example, suppose you are an apartment manager and if there is 4 or more inches of snow on the ground then you need to shovel the side walk you might express this as if snow is greater than or equal to 4 put on snow shovel removal stuff get snow shovel, shovel side walk, else go to bed.

So we will see a code for this purpose. Statement block start with an opening brace character and end with a closing brace character.

All the statements between the opening and closing braces form the statement block body. In our example, it appears that when 4 or more inches of snow exist. We pull on our coat, grab a snow shovel and shovel the side walks. You can place any type of statement you wish within the statement block.

We will discuss lots of examples of statement block in the coming tutorials on Arduino programming. For now just think of a statement block as being defined by opening and closing braces. A function block is a block of code that is designed to accomplish a single task. Previously, we have seen an example. In that example, we used a function blocks, it was put on snow removal stuff. The function that is designed to have to put on your coat. The actual code of this function block is in this example function block also starts with an opening brace and and ending brace.

For example, you might be thinking of writing the code to control a robot that will require sensors to sense whatever lies ahead. Read an introduction on what is Arduino and why you'd want to use it.
