OPERATORS IN C

OPERATORS  IN  C

    Operator  are  symbols  that  act  upto  data. They represent a paticular operation to be performed on the data. Operators can be classified as arithmetical, relation, and assigning operators.

     Arithmetical Operators :  These types of operators denote mathematical operators like – Add, Subtract, Multiple, Divide and Exponentiation.

Operator                    Function

 +                           Addition 

 -                         Subtraction   

 /                           Division  

*                           Multiplication

^                           Exponentiation

%                          Mod (Remainder of                             a division)

      Special Arithmetical Operators :  The - - and + + are known as           decrement and increment operators.

       For example :

x = x + 1;

is equivalent to

++x; or x ++;

Also

x = x – 1;

is equivalent to

- - a; or a - -;

Relational Operator : These operator are used to compare two values on the basis of a certain condition.

Operator                          Function

       <                                   Less than

 <=                                Less than or equal to

 >                                  Greater than

  >=                               Greater than or equal to

 !=                               Not equal to

   =                                Equal to      

     Logical Operators : The logical operators are :

     Operators                                      Function

            &&                                            AND

            ||                                              OR

             !                                                NOT

     Assigning Operator : The assigning operators are :

     Operators                                      Function

             =                                            Assign a value

            + =                                          Add the values and

                                                           assign it to the left

            - =                                          Sudtract the values

                                                          and assign it to the left

           * =                                           Multiply the values

                                                           and assign it to the left 

           / =                                           Divide the values and

                                                           assign it to the left

         % =                                          Find the remainder                                                                                    and assign it to the left

    Bitwise Operators :  The  Bitwise  Operators are applicable to the char and int data types only .These operators are not useful with float, double, long double, void or other complex data types.
