• At the end of the Lecture students should be able to Use


arithmetic operators in C programs.
• Correctly apply the precedence of arithmetic operators
• Use relational operators in C programs.

Arithmetic Operators
Operation Arithmetic Operator C Expression Example

Addition + No1 + No2 1+2=3

Subtraction - Value – No3 52 – 2 = 50

Multiplication * Num1 * 3 4 * 2.5 = 10

Division / H1 / 5 10 / 3 = 3

Remainder % No1 % no2 10 % 3 = 1

Operator Precedence and
Associativity
▪ Operator precedence establishes the priority of
an operator in relationship to all other operators.
▪ Parentheses can be used to modify the normal
order of execution of an expression.
▪ Operator associativity establishes the order in
which operators of the same precedence are to
be executed.

1 () Parenthesis Left to Right
2 * Multiplication Left to Right
/ Division
% Remainder

3 + Addition Left to Right


- Subtraction

Operator Precedence and
Associativity
▪ Example : 55 / 10 % 2 * 5 -10 % (4-2)

= 55 / 10 % 2 * 5 – 10 % 2
= 5 % 2 * 5 – 10 % 2
= 1 * 5 – 10 % 2
= 5 – 10 % 2
=5–0
=5 6
Operator Precedence and
Associativity
▪ Exercises :
1. 2 * 3 / 4 * 5 – 2

2. 2 * ( 3 + 4 ) % 3 + 3

3. -75 / 25 + 10 * 3

4. 50 % 3 + 2 * 2

5. 2 * 2 * 6 – 7 / 2

7
Equality & Relational Operators
▪ Equality and relational operators test the relationship between two expressions
and yields true or false
Operation Operator C Expression
Equal to == x == y
Not Equal to != x != 2
Greater than > x>6
Less than < x<y
Greater than or equal to >= x >= 9

Less than or equal to <= x <= y

Order Operator Associativity


1 () Left to Right
2 ! Left to Right
3 * / % Left to Right
4 + - Left to Right
5 < <= > >= Left to Right
6 == != Left to Right
7 = Left to Right
9
Logical Operators
Used to form more complex conditions by combining simple
conditions.

Operation Operator C Expression


Logical AND && A = 1 && B=2
Logical OR || Mid = 20 || Final = 70
Logical NOT ! ! (grade == ‘F’)

10
Assignment Operators
▪ There are several assignment operators for abbreviating
assignment expressions.
variable = variable operator expression;
▪ can be written as
variable operator= expression;
where operator is one of the binary operators +, -, *, / or %
Example : a = a+2 is as same as a += 2

11
Increment & Decrement
Operators
▪ ++ increment operator
▪ -- decrement operator

▪ k = ++n; // prefix increment : n = n + 1; then k = n;

▪ k = n++; // postfix increment : k = n; then n = n + 1;

▪ k = --n; // prefix decrement : n = n - 1; then k = n;

▪ k = n--; // postfix decrement : k = n; then n = n - 1;


12
▪ Exercises : x = 5 and y = 10
1. x += 2
2. printf(“%d\n”,x++); printf(“%d\n”,x);
3. printf(“%d\n”,++y); printf(“%d\n”,y);
