Arithmetic Operators in C:
C Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus in C programs.

Arithmetic Operators/Operation
|
Example
|
|
+ (Addition)
|
A+B
|
|
– (Subtraction)
|
A-B
|
|
* (multiplication)
|
A*B
|
|
/ (Division)
|
A/B
|
|
% (Modulus)
|
A%B
|
Example program for C arithmetic operators:
In this example program, two values “40” and “20” are used to perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus and output is displayed for each operation.

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int a=40,b=20, add,sub,mul,div,mod; add = a+b; sub = a-b; mul = a*b; div = a/b; mod = a%b; printf("Addition of a, b is : %d\n", add); printf("Subtraction of a, b is : %d\n", sub); printf("Multiplication of a, b is : %d\n", mul); printf("Division of a, b is : %d\n", div); printf("Modulus of a, b is : %d\n", mod); } |
Output:
|
Addition of a, b is : 60
Subtraction of a, b is : 20 Multiplication of a, b is : 800 Division of a, b is : 2 Modulus of a, b is : 0 |

Types of 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.
|
|
|
&, *, sizeof( ) and ternary operators.
