Operators in C

C Operators

C language includes a rich set of integrated operators. An operator is a symbol used to perform a certain application of mathematics or logic. Operators are used in C programming language to manipulating the data and variables in applications and are part of mathematical or logical expressions. In other terms, we may say the operands are handled by an operator.

There are major types of operators in C:

• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational Operators
• Logical Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Conditional Operators

These are operators, we know in this c tutorial

1. Arithmetic operators

Both simple arithmetic operators are provided by C.

The table below shows all of the essential arithmetic operators.

Operator	Description
+	adds two operands
-	subtract second operands from first
*	multiply two operand
/	divide numerator by the denominator
%	remainder of division
++	Increment operator - increases integer value by one
--	Decrement operator - decreases integer value by one

2. Relational operators

The table below lists all C assisted Partnership Operators.

Operator	Description
==	Check if two operands are equal
!=	Check if two operands are not equal.
>	Check if the operand on the left is greater than operand on the right
<	Check operand on the left is smaller than the right operand
>=	check left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand
<=	Check if the operand on left is smaller than or equal to the right operand

3.Logical operators

C language supports 3 logical operators. Assume a = 1 and b = 0,

Operator	Description	Example
&&	Logical AND	(a && b) is false
||	Logical OR	(a || b) is true
!	Logical NOT	(!a) is false

4.Bitwise operators

Bitwise operators perform Bit Level Data Manipulation. Such operators also do bits change from right to left. Bitwise operators are not used for floating or duplicating.

Operator	Description
&	Bitwise AND
|	Bitwise OR
^	Bitwise exclusive OR
<<	left shift
>>	right shift

5. Assignment Operators

Operator	Description	Example
=	Assigns values from right  to left-hand operand	a=b
+=	Attach right operand to left operand and assign the result to left operand	a+=b is same as a=a+b
-=	Subtracts operand right from operand left and assigns the output to operand left	a-=b is same as a=a-b
*=	Multiply the left operand and assign the output to the left operand	a*=b is same as a=a*b
/=	Divide left operand with right operand and assign left operand to the result	a/=b is same as a=a/b
%=	Calculate the modulus using two operands and assign the left operand result	a%=b is same as a=a%b

Conditional Operators

The C-language conditional operators are identified by two more names

1. Ternary Operator
2. ?: Operator

It is basically the if the condition that we use in C language decision-taking, but we transform the if condition expression into a short and easy operator with conditional operators.

The syntax of a conditional operator is :

expression 1? expression 2: expression 3
