What is Operator? Simple answer can be given using expression 4 + 5 is equal to 9. Here 4 and 5 are called operands and + is called operator. C language supports following type of operators. Arithmetic Operators Logical (or Relational) Operators Bitwise Operators Assignment Operators Misc Operators Lets have a look on all operators one by one. Arithmetic Operators: Logical (or Relational) Operators:
There are following arithmetic operators supported by C language:
Assume variable A holds 10 and variable holds 20 then:Operator Description Example + Adds two operands A + B will give 30 - Subtracts second operand from the first A - B will give -10 * Multiply both operands A * B will give 200 / Divide numerator by denominator B / A will give 2 % Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer division B % A will give 0 ++ Increment operator, increases integer value by one A++ will give 11 -- Decrement operator, decreases integer value by one A-- will give 9
There are following logical operators supported by C language
Assume variable A holds 10 and variable holds 20 then:Operator Description Example == Checks if the value of two operands is equal or not, if yes then condition becomes true. (A == B) is not true. != Checks if the value of two operands is equal or not, if values are not equal then condition becomes true. (A != B) is true. > Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. (A > B) is not true. < Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. (A <> >= Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. (A >= B) is not true. <= Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. (A <= B) is true. && Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are non zero then then condition becomes true. (A && B) is true. || Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands is non zero then then condition becomes true. (A || B) is true. ! Called Logical NOT Operator. Use to reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true then Logical NOT operator will make false. !(A && B) is false.
