Arithmetic Operators in C
Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical calculations in a program. Various arithmetic operators in C language are as follows:
1. +
Addition operator is represented as plus (+) sign. It is used to add values of numeric variables, constants or expressions.
Example
11 + 3 = 14
2. –
Subtraction operator is represented as a hyphen (-). It is used to subtract value of one numeric quantity from another.
Example
11 – 3 = 8
3. *
Multiplication operator is represented as an asterisk (*). It is used to multiply value of one numeric quantity with another numeric quantity.
Example
11 * 3 = 33
4. /
Division operator is represented as a forward slash (/). It is used to divide value of one numeric quantity by another numeric quantity.
Example
11 / 3 = 3
5. %
Modulus operator is represented as a percent sign(%). It returns remainder after dividing one numeric quantity by another numeric quantity.
Example :
10 % 3 =1
| Program to demonstrate arithmetic operators. | Output (Line Wise) |
| #include<stdio.h> int main() { int a=10,b=3,c; |
|
| c=a+b; printf(“\na+b=%d”,c); | a+b=13 |
| c=a-b; printf(“\na-b=%d”,c); | a-b=7 |
| c=a*b; printf(“\na*b=%d”,c); | a*b=30 |
| c=a/b; printf(“\na/b=%d”,c); | a/b=3 |
| c=a%b; printf(“\na%%b=%d”,c); | a%b=1 |
| getch(); return (0); } |
