    The document discusses various types of operators supported in the C language including arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment, conditional, and special operators. It provides examples of common operators like addition, subtraction, logical AND, assignment, and describes how they are used to manipulate variables and perform operations at both the value and bit level. Key operator types are arithmetic operators for math operations, relational for comparisons, logical for true/false evaluations, bitwise for bit manipulation, and assignment for storing values.

    Operators in C

    Language
    C language supports a rich set of built-in
    operators. An operator is a symbol that tells the
    compiler to perform certain mathematical or
    logical manipulations. Operators are used in
    program to manipulate data and variables.
    C operators can be classified into following types,
    Arithmetic operators
    Relation operators
    Logical operators
    Bitwise operators

    Operator Description
    ==
    Check if two operand are equal
    !=
    Check if two operand are not equal.
    Check if operand on the left is
    >
    greater than operand on the right
    Check operand on the left is smaller
    <
    than right operand
    check left operand is greater than or
    >=
    equal to right operand
    Check if operand on left is smaller
    <=
    than or equal to right operand

    Logical operators
    C language supports following 3 logical
    operators. Suppose a=1 and b=0,

    Operator
    &&
    ||
    !

    Description
    Logical AND
    Logical OR
    Logical NOT

    Example
    (a && b) is false
    (a || b) is true
    (!a) is false

    Assignment operators

    Bitwise operators

    Conditional operators

    Bitwise operators perform manipulations of data


    at bit level. These operators also

    Special operators

    Arithmetic operators
    C supports all the basic arithmetic operators. The
    following table shows all the basic arithmetic
    operators.

    Operator
    +
    *
    /
    %
    ++
    --

    Description
    adds two operands
    subtract second operands from first
    multiply two operand
    divide numerator by denumerator
    remainder of division
    Increment operator increases integer
    value by one
    Decrement operator decreases
    integer value by one

    Relation operators
    The following table shows all relation operators
    supported by C.

    perform shifting of bits from right to left. Bitwise


    operators are not applied to float or double.

    Operator
    &
    |
    ^
    <<
    >>

    Description
    Bitwise AND
    Bitwise OR
    Bitwise exclusive OR
    left shift
    right shift

    Now lets see truth table for bitwise &, | and ^

    a
    0
    0
    1
    1

    b
    0
    1
    0
    1

    a&b
    0
    0
    0
    1

    a|b
    0
    1
    1
    1

    a^b
    0
    1
    1
    0

    The bitwise shift operators shifts the bit value.


    The left operand specifies the value to be shifted
    and the right operand specifies the number of
    positions that the bits in the value are to be
    shifted. Both operands have the same
    precedence.

    address of an
    variable

    Assignment Operators
    Assignment operators supported by C language
    are as follows.

    Operator Description
    Example
    assigns values from
    =
    right side operands to a=b
    left side operand
    adds right operand to
    a+=b is same
    +=
    the left operand and
    as a=a+b
    assign the result to left
    subtracts right operand
    from the left operand a-=b is same
    -=
    and assign the result to as a=a-b
    left operand
    mutiply left operand
    with the right operand a*=b is same
    *=
    and assign the result to as a=a*b
    left operand
    divides left operand
    with the right operand a/=b is same
    /=
    and assign the result to as a=a/b
    left operand
    calculate modulus using
    a%=b is
    two operands and
    %=
    same as a=a
    assign the result to left
    %b
    operand

    Conditional operator
    It is also known as ternary operator and used to
    evaluate conditional expression.
    epr1 ? expr2 : expr3
    If epr1 Condition is true ? Then value expr2 :
    Otherwise value expr3

    Special operator
    Operator Description
    sizeof
    &

    Example
    sizeof(x) return
    Returns the size of
    size of the
    an variable
    variable x
    Returns the
    &x ; return

    Pointer to a
    variable

    address of the
    variable x
    *x ; will be
    pointer to a
    variable x
