Unit-2 (Operators)

Operators in C ( use of operators in C )

Operators are the symbol , to perform some

operation ( calculation , manipulation).

&

Set of Operations are used in completion of any

task.

&

C is the Programming language to perform some

task.

2

Operands & Operators

• Any operation is a combination of two things:

1. Operands 2.Operator

• Operators works on operands.

• Operands may be – A Data Value

A Data Variable

A Expression

Examples: 10 + 4 , a - 3 , b + c ,

(a+b)+(b+10)Here, 10,4,3 are Data values and a,b ,c are variables.

3

Types of Operators

On the basis of number of operands, operators are

divided into three types:-

Unary Operators – Acts upon one operand

Binary Operators – Acts upon two operands

Ternary Operators – Acts upon three operands.

4

Types of Operators:-

( On the basis of features of operators)

Increment or Decrement Operator ( Unary)

Arithmetic Operators

Relational Operators

Logical Operators Binary

Assignment Operators

Bitwise Operators

Conditional Operators ( Ternary)

Special Operators

5

Arithmetic Operators

Operator Symbol Action Example

Addition + Adds operands x + y

Subtraction - Subs second from first x - y

Negation - Negates operand -x

Multiplication * Multiplies operandsx * y

Division / Divides first by second x / y

(integer quotient)

Modulus % Remainder of divide op x % y

6

Relational Operators (Relational comparison )

Comparisons can be done with the help of relational operators

These consist of:-

Operator Meaning

< less than

<= less than equal to

> greater than

>= greater than equal to

= = Equal to

!= Not equal to

7

Logical Operators ( Logical comparison )

Expression which combines two or more relational

expression is termed as a logical or compound relational

expression

The result of these operators is either TRUE or FALSE.

Logical expressions are:-

&& logical AND

|| Logical OR

! Logical NOT

Ex- if (age>55 && salary <1000)

8

Assignment Operator

Used to assign the result of an expression to a variable.

ex- int i=20;

1. Simple Assignment e.g. =

2. Compound Assignment e.g. +=, -=, *=, /=, &=

3. Expression Assignment e.g. a=5+(b=8 + (c=2)) - 4

9

Operators continued……..

x + = y+1;

is same as x = x + (y+1)

i.e. += means „add y+1 to x‟

Similarly……..

a=a-1 a - = 1;

a=a*(n+1) a *= n+1;

a=a/(n+1) a/= n+1;

Q: int z=10; z += 34; z *= 2 ; z -=5; z += z+1;

10

Increment and Decrement

C has two very useful operators not generally found in other

languages. These are the increment and decrement operators.

i.e ++ and --

++ operator adds 1 to the operand and -- operator subtracts 1 to the

operand . Both these operators are unary operators and take the

following form.

++m (prefix operator) ; or m++ (postfix operator);

--m; or m--;

++m & m++ means m = m+1;

-- m & m-- means m = m-1;

11

Ex…

int m = 5 , y ;

y = ++m ;

printf ( “ %d%d " y,m );

Result???

int m = 5 , y ;

y = m++ ;

printf ( “ %d%d " y,m );

Result?????

12

Conditional Operator..

A ternary operator pair “?:” is available in C to construct

conditional expressions of the form.

exp1 ? exp2 : exp3;

Operator ?: works as follows: exp1 is evaluated first . If it is

nonzero (true) ,then the expression exp2 is evaluated and

becomes the value of the expression otherwise vice versa.

13

Example….

a=10 ;

b=15;

x=(a>b) ? a : b;

It can be written as …

if ( a > b )

x = a;

else

x=b;

14

Bitwise Operator….

C has distinction of supporting special operators known as

Bitwise Operators for manipulation of data at bit level. These

are used to test bits.

Operators Meaning

& bitwise AND

| bitwise OR

^ bitwise exclusive OR

(Ex-OR)

<< shift left

>> shift right

~ One‟s complement

15

Bitwise Operator….

Examples - int a = 4, b = 3

a = 0000 0100

b = 0000 0011

--------------

a & b = 0000 0000

a | b = 0000 0111

a ^ b = 0000 0111

In Ex-OR (if both bits are same : 0) (if both bits are diff : 1)

a = 10

b = ~ a => ~ (1010) => 0101

16

B Bitwise operators

The shift operator:

x << n

Shifts the bits in x n positions to the left, shifting in zeros on the right.

If x = 1111 1111 1111 00002

x << 1 equals 1111 1111 1110 00002

x >> n

Shifts the bits in x n positions right.

shifts in 0 if it is an unsigned integer

x >> 1 is 0111 1111 1111 10002 (unsigned)

17

Operator Precedence( priority)

Parenthesis

Unary operator ( ~, ++ ,--,-)

Arithmetic ( first - /,%,* then +,-)

Shift Left & Right

Comparison ( first- >,>=,<,<= then ==,!=)

Bitwise AND OR NOT

Logical AND OR

Conditional Operator
