All Operators Explained - C (with Example)

 Here is list of all Types of Operators with Explanation and Example!!

Lets Start....

1. Arithmetic operators:- These are the symbols used to indicate the operations on operands.Here is a table which shows the operators under this section.

Operator	Meaning	Example
+	Addition	a+b;
-	Subtraction	a-b;
*	Multiplication	a*b;
/	Division	a/b;
%	Modulus	a % b;

     

Operation of modulus operator:- 4/2=2 (here quotient is taken)  but in modulus operator, 4%2=0 (here remainder is taken).

2. Relational operator:- These are the symbols used to show the relation between operands.

Operator	Meaning	Example
<	Less than	a < b;
<=	Less than or equal to	a <= b;
>	Greater than	a > b;
>=	Greater than or eual to	a >= b;
==	Checking Equal to	a == b;
!=	Checking Not equal to	a != b;

  

3.Logical operator:- These are the symbols used to evaluate the conditions and expressions.

Operator	Meaning	Example
&&	And	a=6 and  b=3; (a<10 && b>1)
||	Or	a=12 ,b=3; (a==12 || b==5)
!	Not	a=6 , b=3  !(a == b)

4. Assignment operator:- 

Operator	Meaning	Example
=	Equals to	x=6

5.Compound Assignment Operator:-

Operator	Example	Equivalent Assume  c = 10
+=	c + =10 c=20	c= c + 10 ;
==	c - =5 c=5	c = c- 5 ;
*=	c * =2 c=20	c = c* 2;
/=	c / = 5 c = 2	c = c/ 5 ;

6. Ternary operator:-  

This operator evaluates the expression or a condition .If condition is true then Value 1 is considered or else the Value 2 is considered.

  { Expression ? Value 1 : Value 2 ;}     

   x = (a = =10)  5 : 15 ;    .........where the value of  a=10

  

Since the given expression in the bracket  (a = =10) becomes true, the value 1 will be returned to the user. Hence, the value of x will be 5.

 x = (a = =10)  5 : 15 ;    .........where the value of  a=3

Since the given expression in the bracket  (a = =10) becomes false, the value 2 will be returned to the user. Hence, the value of x will be 15.

7. Bitwise operator:- 

                                          

Short form of binary language is bit ..... for example the language of 0's and 1's ..

When we have 8 bits we have 1 byte i.e., 1 byte = 8 bits.

Bitwise  operators are used to manipulate the data at bit level. These operators operate on each bit of the data.They are used for complimenting or shifting bits . They may not be applied on float or double types.

Operator	Meaning
~	One’s complement
>>	Right shift
<<	Left shift
&	Bitwise AND
|	Bitwise OR
^	Bitwise XOR(exclusive OR)

Working of the operators:-

These operators work on two integer type operands.They work on their operands bit by bit starting from LSB to MSB . Here is their example:-  

Most           -  - - - - - - -      Least

Significant +   - - - - - - - -    Significant

Bit                                        Bit

(MSB)                                    (LSB)

The three most commonly used bitwise operators are :-

1.     Bitwise AND

2.     Bitwise OR

3.     Bitwise XOR

Use and their working:-  Lets take example of milk and tea considering operand1 and operand 2 to be milk and tea respectively.

operand 1= OP1 = milk

operand 2 = OP2 = tea

Operand 1 (milk ) (OP1)	Operand 2 (tea) (OP2)	OP1 & OP2 both OP1  (milk) and OP2 (tea) should be available	OP1 /OP2 Any one OP1 (milk) or OP2 (tea) should be available	OP1^ OP2 Highest number will be taken .  Equal inputs will give zero
0	0	0 (not available)	0	0 (Equal inputs will give zero)
0	1	0  (both not available)	1	1
1	0	0  (both not available)	1	1
1	1	1  (both available)	1	0  (Equal inputs will give zero)
