 Operators in C

An expression consists of variables & constants separated by

operators. C language uses many types of operators as listed
below.
 Arithmetic Operator
 Relational Operator
 Logical Operator
 Increment or Decrement Operator
 Assignment Operator
 Conditional Operator
 Bitwise Operator

 Arithmetic Operator

Following table shows all the arithmetic operators

supported by C language. Assume variable A is 20 and
B is 10, then:
Operator Description Example
+ Add two operands A+B = 30
- Subtract 2nd operand from 1st A-B = 10
* Multiply both operand A*B = 200
/ Divides 1st operand by 2nd A/B = 2
operand
% Find the remainder A%B = 0

Example 1: Write a C program to reverse a 3 digit number using ‘/’ & ‘%’
operator.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
Output
void main() {
int n,a,b,c,rev;
clrscr();
printf("\nEnter the 3 digit number::");
scanf("%d",&n);
a=n/100; n=n%100; b=n/10; c=n%10;
rev=c*100+b*10+a;
printf("\nReverse Number=%d",rev);

getch(); }
 Relational Operator

It is used to compare the values of operand to produce a logical

value. A logical value is either true or false. Following table shows
all the relational operators supported by C language.

Operator Meaning Example Result

< Less Than 10<5 false
<= Less Than or Equal to 5<=10 true
> Grater Than 10>5 true
>= Grater Than or Equal to 5>=10 false
== Equal to 5==10 false
!= Not equal to 5!=10 true

 Logical Operator

Logical operators are used to connect more relational

operations to form a complex expression called logical
expression. A value obtained by evaluating a logical
expression is always logical, means either true or false. C
has the following three logical operator.
Operator Meaning Example Result

&& Logical And (5<2)&&(5>3) false

|| Logical Or (5<2)||(5>3) true

! Logical Not !(5<2) true

 Increment & Decrement
Operator

The increment operator (++) is used to increase the value

of the operands by 1 where decrement operator (--) is
used to reduce the value of the operands by 1. Both are
unary operators & take the following forms:
++a or a++ [means a=a+1]
--a or a-- [means a=a-1]
Example:
int x=5, y=10;
x++; // means x=6
8
y--; // means y=9
 Continue…

++a and a++ means the same thing when they form
statements independently & they behave differently
when they are used in expression or the R.H.S. of an
assignment statement.
Consider the following example
int x=10,y,z;
y=++x; // pre increment
printf (“X=%d Y=%d”, x,y); //X=11 & Y=11
z=x++; // post increment
9
printf (“X=%d Z=%d”, x,z); //X=12 & Z=11
 Continue…

Similarly --a and a-- means the same thing when they
form statements independently & they behave
differently when they are used in expression or the
R.H.S. of an assignment statement.
Consider the following example
int p=50,q,r;
q=--p; // pre decrement
printf (“P=%d Q=%d”, p,q); //P=49 & Q=49
r=p--; // post decrement
10 printf (“P=%d R=%d”, p,r); //P=48 & R=49
 Continue…

Example 2: Write a C program to implement the increment & decrement

operator.
#include<stdio.h> Output
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a=10,b=15;
clrscr();
printf(“\n%3d%3d%3d%3d”,a++,++a,a--,--a);
printf(“\n%3d%3d%3d%3d”,++b,b++,--b,b--);
getch();
11 }
