- The symbols which are used to perform logical and mathematical operations in a C program are called C operators.
- These C operators join individual constants and variables to form expressions.
- Operators, functions, constants and variables are combined together to form expressions.
- Consider the expression A + B * 5. where, +, * are operators, A, B are variables, 5 is constant and A + B * 5 is an expression.
Types of C operators:
C language offers many types of operators. They are,
- Arithmetic operators
- Assignment operators
- Relational operators
- Logical operators
- Bit wise operators
- Conditional operators (ternary operators)
- Increment/decrement operators
- Special operators

Description
|
| Arithmetic_operators | These are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus |
| Assignment_operators | These are used to assign the values for the variables in C programs. |
|
These operators are used to compare the value of two variables.
|
|
|
These operators are used to perform logical operations on the given two variables.
|
|
|
These operators are used to perform bit operations on given two variables.
|
|
|
Conditional operators return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
|
|
|
These operators are used to either increase or decrease the value of the variable by one.
