Operators<\/strong> are the basic concept of any programming language, used to build a foundation in programming for freshers<\/em>. Operators can be defined as basic symbols that help us work on logical and mathematical operations.\u00a0Operators in C and C++, are tools or symbols that are used to perform mathematical operations concerning arithmetic, logical, conditional and, bitwise operations.<\/p>\n

There are many sub-operators presents in each type of Operators in C\/C++. Let’s discuss one by one with their examples.<\/p>\n

Types of Operators in C and C++<\/h2>\n

There are 6 types of Operators in C\/C++<\/p>\n

\"Types<\/a><\/p>\n

Let us discuss in detail the function of each type of operator.<\/p>\n

1. Arithmetic\u00a0Operators<\/h3>\n

It includes basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus operations, increment, and decrement.<\/p>\n

The Arithmetic Operators in C and C++ include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0+ (Addition)<\/strong> – This operator is used to add two operands.<\/li>\n
  2. – (Subtraction)<\/strong> – Subtract two operands.<\/li>\n
  3. * (Multiplication)<\/strong> – Multiply two operands.<\/li>\n
  4. \/ (Division)<\/strong> – Divide two operands and gives the quotient as the answer.<\/li>\n
  5. % (Modulus operation)<\/strong> – Find the remains of two integers and gives the remainder after the division.<\/li>\n
  6. ++ (Increment)<\/strong> – Used to increment an operand.<\/li>\n
  7. — (Decrement)<\/strong> – Used to decrement an operand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Example of Arithmetic Operators in C<\/h5>\n
    #include<stdio.h>\r\nint main()\r\n{\r\nint a=10, b=7;\r\n\r\nprintf(\"Welcome to DataFlair tutorials!\\n\\n\");\r\nprintf(\"The Addition of %d and %d is: %d\\n\",a,b,a+b);\r\nprintf(\"The Subtraction of %d and %d is: %d\\n\",a,b,a-b);\r\nprintf(\"The Multiplication of %d and %d is: %d\\n\",a,b,a*b);\r\nprintf(\"The Division of %d and %d is: %d\\n\",a,b,a\/b);\r\nprintf(\"The Modulus operation of %d and %d is: %d\\n\",a,b,a%b);\r\nprintf(\"The Incremented value ++a is: %d\\n\",++a);\r\nprintf(\"The Decremented value --b is: %d\\n\",--b);\r\nreturn 0;\r\n}<\/pre>\n

    2. Relational Operators<\/h3>\n
    It is used to compare two numbers by checking whether they are equal or not, less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. ==<\/strong>\u00a0(Equal to)<\/strong>– This operator is used to check if both operands are equal.<\/li>\n
    2. !=<\/strong>\u00a0 (Not equal to)<\/strong>– Can check if both operands are not equal.<\/li>\n
    3. ><\/strong>\u00a0(Greater than)<\/strong>– Can check\u00a0if the first operand is greater than the second.<\/li>\n
    4. < (Less than)- <\/strong>Can\u00a0check if the first operand is lesser than the second.<\/li>\n
    5. >=<\/strong>\u00a0 (Greater than equal to)<\/strong>– Check if the first operand is greater than or equal to the second.<\/li>\n
    6. <=\u00a0(Less than equal to)<\/strong>–\u00a0Check if the first operand is lesser than or equal to the second<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      If the relational statement is satisfied (it is true), then the program will return the value 1, otherwise, if the relational statement is not satisfied (it is false), the program will return the value 0.<\/p>\n
