Operators in C

The document discusses various types of operators supported in the C language including arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment, conditional, and special operators. It provides examples of common operators like addition, subtraction, logical AND, assignment, and describes how they are used to manipulate variables and perform operations at both the value and bit level. Key operator types are arithmetic operators for math operations, relational for comparisons, logical for true/false evaluations, bitwise for bit manipulation, and assignment for storing values.

C language supports a rich set of built-in greater than operand on the right
Check operand on the left is smaller
operators. An operator is a symbol that tells the <

compiler to perform certain mathematical or
check left operand is greater than or
logical manipulations. Operators are used in >=
equal to right operand
program to manipulate data and variables. Check if operand on left is smaller
<=
than or equal to right operand
C operators can be classified into following types,
Logical operators
Arithmetic operators
C language supports following 3 logical
Relation operators operators. Suppose a=1 and b=0,

Operator Description Example


Logical operators
&& Logical AND (a && b) is false
|| Logical OR (a || b) is true
Bitwise operators
! Logical NOT (!a) is false

Assignment operators Bitwise operators

Conditional operators Bitwise operators perform manipulations of data


at bit level. These operators also
Special operators perform shifting of bits from right to left. Bitwise
operators are not applied to float or double.
Arithmetic operators

are as follows.

Operator Description Example


assigns values from
= right side operands to a=b
left side operand
adds right operand to
a+=b is same
+= the left operand and
as a=a+b
assign the result to left
subtracts right operand
from the left operand a-=b is same
-=
and assign the result to as a=a-b
left operand
mutiply left operand
with the right operand a*=b is same
*=
and assign the result to as a=a*b
left operand
divides left operand
with the right operand a/=b is same
/=
and assign the result to as a=a/b
left operand
calculate modulus using

%= same as a=a
assign the result to left

Conditional operator
It is also known as ternary operator and used to
evaluate conditional expression.

epr1 ? expr2 : expr3

If epr1 Condition is true ? Then value expr2 :


Otherwise value expr3
