Value of variable in c language

Value of variable in c language :

Data which any variable keeps is known as value of variable. For example:

int a=5;

Here value of variable a is five. Name of variable always returns value of the variable.

How to assign any value to a variable:

    C supports eleven type of assignment operator to assign any value to operator. Those are:

(a)   =  (b) += (c) -= (d) v*= (e) /= (f) %=

(g)   <<= (h) >>= (i) |= (j) &= (k) ^=

In this chapter will discuss only first operator i.e. =

Assignment statement in c:

LValue: Lvalue stands for left value. In any assignment statement LValue must be a container i.e. which have ability to hold the data. In c has only one type only container and which is variable. Hence LValue must be any variable in c it cannot be a constant, function or any other data type of c. For example

#define <stdio.h>

#define max 125

struct abc{

    char *name;

    int roll;

};

enum {RED,BLUE};

int main(){

    int a;

    const b;

    a=5;

    //10=5; LValue cannot be a integer constant

    //max=20; //Lvalue cannot be a micro constant

    //b=11; Lvalue cannot be a constant variable

    //float=3.3f; Lvalue cannot be a data type

    //abc={“sachin”,5}; Lvalue cannot be a data type

    //BLUE =2; Lvalue cannot be a enum constant

    return 0;

}

RValue: In any assignment statement RValue must be anything which can return and constant value or it is itself a constant. RValue can be any c constants, variables, function which is returning a value etc. For example:

#include<stdio.h>

#define max 5

void display();

float sum();

enum {BLACK, WHITE};

int main(){

    int x=2; //RValue can be a constant.

    float y=9.0;

    const int z=x; //RValue can be a constant variable

    x=max; //RValue can be a variable.

    x=BLACK; //RValue can be a enum constant.

    y=sum();//RValue can be a function.

    y=display(); //RValue can be a function which is

   return 0;

}
