Learning C for Arduino

By: Syed Omar Faruk Towaha

Overview of this book

This book will start with the fundamentals of C programming and programming topics, such data types, functions, decision making, program loops, pointers, and structures, with the help of an Arduino board. Then you will get acquainted with Arduino interactions with sensors, LEDs, and autonomous systems and setting up the Arduino environment. Moving on you will also learn how to work on the digital and analog I/O, establish serial communications with autonomous systems, and integrate with electronic devices. By the end of the book, you will be able to make basic projects such as LED cube and smart weather system that leverages C.

Preface

Expression in C


Before we learn about logical operations, let's look at a few expressions in C programming. Suppose you need to identify the larger of two numbers (100 and 200). You will definitely say 200 is larger than 100, right? The question is, how did you get your answer? Yes, by comparing the numbers with each other. The condition is 100<200, or 200>100. The two symbols (< and >) are known as less than and greater than. Let's look at a few more expressions:

Expression

Meaning

x == y

x is equal to y.

x != y

x is not equal to y.

x < y

x is less than y.

x > y

x is greater than y.

x <= y

x is less than or equal to y.

x >= y

x is greater than or equal to y.

Tip

Remember, we use double equal signs (==), not a single equal sign (=) to indicate a data type is equal to another. The preceding expressions only work when we use logical conditions in C.

Logical operations in C

Sometimes, an event may depend on something. Say, if the weather is good, I will...
