Question
Answer
additive expression   in C, the binary addition and subtraction expressions  
🗑
assignment expression   an expression containing the assignment operator (=) that results in the value of the expression being placed into the left operand  
🗑
associativity   the parsing direction used to evaluate an expression when all operators have an equal priority  
🗑
binary expression   any expression containing one operator and two operands  
🗑
block   in C, a group of statements enclosed in braces {...}  
🗑
cast   a C operator that changes the type of an expression  
🗑
compound statement   a sequence of statements enclosed in braces  
🗑
demotion   an implicit type conversion in which the rank of an expression is temporarily reduced to match other elements of the expression  
🗑
explicit type conversion   the conversion of a value from one type to another through the cast operator, contrast with implicit type conversion  
🗑
expression   a sequence of operators and operands that reduces the a single value  
🗑
expression statement   an expression terminated by a semicolon  
🗑
implicit type conversion   the automatic conversion of data from one type to another when required within a C program  
🗑
KISS   in this text: keep it short and simple  
🗑
left-to-right associativity   the evaluation of an expression that parses from the left to the right  
🗑
multiplicative expression   an expression that contains a multiply, divide or modulus operator  
🗑
operand   an object in a statement on which an operation is performed  
🗑
operator   the syntactical token representing an action on data (the operand)  
🗑
postfix expression   an expression in which the operator follows the operand  
🗑
precedence   the priority assigned to an operator or group of operators that determines the order in which operators will be evaluated in an expression  
🗑
primary expression   an expression consisting of only a single operator, contrast with post-test loop  
🗑
promotion   an implicit type conversion in which the rank of an expression is temporarily increased to match other elements of the expression  
🗑
right-to-left associativity   the evaluation of an expression that parses from the right to the left  
🗑
side effect   a change in a variable that results from the evaluation of an expression; any input/output performed by a called function  
🗑
unary expression   an expression that consists of one operator and one operand  
🗑
user prompts   monitor messages to a user that request the user input one or more values  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
