  2. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    The C language provides the four basic arithmetic type specifiers char, int, ... Arrays are passed to functions by passing a pointer to the first element.

  3. C (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)

    Function parameters are passed by value, although arrays are passed as pointers, i.e. the address of the first item in the array. Pass-by-reference is simulated in C by explicitly passing pointers to the thing being referenced. C program source text is free-form code.

  4. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.

  5. C string handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_string_handling

    Strings are passed to functions by passing a pointer to the first code unit. Since char * and wchar_t * are different types, the functions that process wide strings are different than the ones processing normal strings and have different names. String literals ("text" in the C source code) are converted to arrays during compilation. [2]

  6. Calling convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention

    How functions that take a variable number of arguments (variadic functions) are handled. Options include just passed in order (presuming the first parameter is in an obvious position) or the variable parts in an array. How return values are delivered from the callee back to the caller.

  7. Array programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_programming

    Function rank is an important concept to array programming languages in general, by analogy to tensor rank in mathematics: functions that operate on data may be classified by the number of dimensions they act on. Ordinary multiplication, for example, is a scalar ranked function because it operates on zero-dimensional data (individual numbers).

  8. Type signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_signature

    The practice of multiple inheritance requires consideration of the function signatures to avoid unpredictable results. Computer science theory, and the concept of polymorphism in particular, make much use of the concept of function signature. In the C programming language, a signature is roughly equivalent to its prototype definition.

  9. Variable-length array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_array

    In computer programming, a variable-length array (VLA), also called variable-sized or runtime-sized, is an array data structure whose length is determined at runtime, instead of at compile time. [1] In the language C, the VLA is said to have a variably modified data type that depends on a value (see Dependent type).
