Logical operators in C:
These operators are used to perform logical operations on the given expressions.
- There are 3 logical operators in C language. They are, logical AND (&&), logical OR (||) and logical NOT (!).

Operators
|
Example/Description
|
|
&& (logical AND)
|
(x>5)&&(y<5)
It returns true when both conditions are true |
|
|| (logical OR)
|
(x>=10)||(y>=10)
It returns true when at-least one of the condition is true
|
|
! (logical NOT)
|
!((x>5)&&(y<5))
It reverses the state of the operand “((x>5) && (y<5))”
If “((x>5) && (y<5))” is true, logical NOT operator makes it false
|
Example program for logical operators in C:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 |
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int m=40,n=20; int o=20,p=30; if (m>n && m !=0) { printf("&& Operator : Both conditions are true\n"); } if (o>p || p!=20) { printf("|| Operator : Only one condition is true\n"); } if (!(m>n && m !=0)) { printf("! Operator : Both conditions are true\n"); } else { printf("! Operator : Both conditions are true. " \ "But, status is inverted as false\n"); } } |
Output:
|
&& Operator : Both conditions are true
|| Operator : Only one condition is true ! Operator : Both conditions are true. But, status is inverted as false |
- In this program, operators (&&, || and !) are used to perform logical operations on the given expressions.
- && operator – “if clause” becomes true only when both conditions (m>n and m! =0) is true. Else, it becomes false.
- || Operator – “if clause” becomes true when any one of the condition (o>p || p!=20) is true. It becomes false when none of the condition is true.
- ! Operator – It is used to reverses the state of the operand.
- If the conditions (m>n && m!=0) is true, true (1) is returned. This value is inverted by “!” operator.
- So, “! (m>n and m! =0)” returns false (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.
