Operators are the symbols which performs various operations on operands such as addition,subtraction,multiplications,divisions or modulus etc.
- Operators performs various mathematical operations.
- operands are which on which operators performs these operations.
- Operators performs operations and results stored into the variables (operands) as result value of expression.
- C provides various operators which are as follows:
- Arithmetic operators
- Increment and decrements operators
- Logical operators
- Bitwise operators
- Assignment operators
- Relational operators
- Cast operators
- Arithmetic operators : Arithmetic operators are used to performs various Arithmetic operations on operands.Arithmetic operators must have two operands. Arithmetic operators are : + (addition) , -(subtraction), *(multiplication) , /(division), %(modulus)
Example : a+b=c
- Increment and decrements operators : This operator used to add or subtract number by 1 Increment operator used to increment operand value by 1 and decrement operand used for decrements value by 1.We only require one operand for this.operator can be prefix or postfix that is write operand after and before operators.
Increment ++ , Decrement —
- Prefix operators : In this we write operators before the operands.that is value first increments before the result of expression.
- Postfix operators : In this we write operators after the operands.that is value first increments after the result of expression.
Example : a++;
–b;
- Logical Operators : Logical operators used for performing logical operations such as Logical AND , Logical OR , Logical NOT.
- Logical AND (&&) : This operator returns true if both operands are non zero.
- Logical OR(||) : This operators returns true if either one of two operands are non zero.
- Logical NOT(!) : This operators used to make condition reverse that is if condition true it returns false.
- Relational Operators : This operators used to check relation between the two operands.Relational operators are as follow:
- < Less than
- > greater than
- <= Less than equal to
- >=greater than equal to
- == equal to
- Assignment Operators : This used for assigning the result to operand after expression solved.we assign result to operands which is at left end.Assignment operators are as follow:
- = equal to
- += Add and assign result to operand a+=b => a=a+b
- -= subtract and assign result to operand a-=b => a=a-b
- *= multiply and assign result to operand a*=b => a=a*b
- /= divide and assign result to operand a/=b => a=a/b
- Bitwise Operator : This performs on bit present in each byte of variable.bit can be 0 or 1.bitwise operators are as follow:
- ~ one’s complements
- << left shift (Binary multiplication by 2)
- >> Right shift (Binary divide by 2)
- Cast Operators :This used to convert a value of operands to another type that is int to float or any type.
Example : float(10);
