An operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical functions. It tells the computer to perform some mathematical or logical manipulations. Such as + is an arithmetic operator used to add two integers.
C language provides a rich set of operators. Operators are classified into the following categories based on their usage:-
Arithmetic Operators
Let's Suppose A holds 10 and variable B holds 20 then −
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
+ | Adds two operands. | A + B = 30 |
− | Subtracts second operand from the first. | A − B = -10 |
* | Multiplies both operands. | A * B = 200 |
/ | Divides numerator by de-numerator. | B / A = 2 |
% | Modulus Operator and the remainder of after an integer division. | B % A = 0 |
++ | The increment operator increases the integer value by one. | A++ = 11 |
-- | Decrement operator decreases the integer value by one. | A-- = 9 |
Relational Operators
Let's Suppose variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20 then −
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
== | Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not. If yes, then the condition becomes true. | (A == B) is not true. |
!= | Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not. If the values are not equal, then the condition becomes true. | (A != B) is true. |
> | Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true. | (A > B) is not true. |
< | Checks if the value of the left operand is less than the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true. | (A < B) is true. |
>= | Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true. | (A >= B) is not true. |
<= | Checks if the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the value of the right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true. | (A <= B) is true. |
Logical Operators
Let's Suppose variable A holds 1 and variable B holds 0, then −
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
&& | Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true. | (A && B) is false. |
|| | Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands is non-zero, then the condition becomes true. | (A || B) is true. |
! | Called Logical NOT Operator. It is used to reverse the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then Logical NOT operator will make it false. | !(A && B) is true. |
