What is Operators in C Language?

Operator in C Language?

·       Operator are nothing but a Token in C Language.

·       It is a special symbol we use to create expression.

·       Expression is nothing but a combination of operand and operator.

·       Ex:- sum = num1+num2;

·   In above example sum, num1 and num2 are operands whereas + is an operator.

·       To perform some operation on operands we use Operator.

·       In c Operands are nothing but a variable which holds some value.

·      There are 6 Types of Operator which are given below:

1.    Arithmetic Operator

2.    Relational Operator

3.    Logical Operator

4.    Bitwise Operator

5.    Assignment Operator

6.    Misc. Operator

·      Every Operator has some Precedence means priority at the time of statement get execute.

·       Below there is table given in which we will see different types of operator.

NO.	Operator Type	Operator	Description	Example
1	Arithmetic Operator	*	Multiplies both operands.	P*Q
		/	Divides numerator by de-numerator.	P/Q
		+	Adds two operands.	P+Q
		-	Subtracts second operand from first.	P-Q
		%	Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer division.	P%Q
		--	Decrement operator decreases the integer value by one.	P--, --P
		++	Increment operator increases the integer value by one.	++P, P++
2	Relational Operator	==	Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not. If yes, then the condition becomes true.	(P==Q)
		!=	Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not. If the values are not equal, then the condition becomes true.	(P! =Q) is true.
		>	Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.	(P > Q) is not true.
		<	Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.	(P < Q) is true.
		>=	Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.	(P >= Q) is not true
		<=	Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand. If yes, then the condition becomes true.	(P <= Q) is true.
3	Logical Operator	&&	Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.	(P && Q) is false.
		||	Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands is non-zero, then the condition becomes true.	(P || Q) is true
		!	Called Logical NOT Operator. It is used to reverse the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then Logical NOT operator will make it false.	! (P && Q) is true.
4	Bitwise Operator	&	Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands.	(P & Q) = 12, i.e., 0000 1100
		|	Binary OR Operator copies a bit if it exists in either operand.	(P | Q) = 61, i.e., 0011 1101
		^	Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both.	(P ^ Q) = 49, i.e., 0011 0001
		~	Binary One's Complement Operator is unary and has the effect of 'flipping' bits	(~P ) = ~ (60), i.e, -0111101
		<<	Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand	P << 2 = 240 i.e., 1111 0000
		>>	Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand.	A >> 2 = 15 i.e., 0000 1111
5	Assignment Operator	=	Simple assignment operator. Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand	C = A + B will assign the value of A + B to C
		+=	Add AND assignment operator. It adds the right operand to the left operand and assign the result to the left operand.	C += A is equivalent to C = C + A
		-=	Subtract AND assignment operator. It subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.	C -= A is equivalent to C = C - A
		*=	Multiply AND assignment operator. It multiplies the right operand with the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand	C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A
		/=	Divide AND assignment operator. It divides the left operand with the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand	C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A
		%=	Modulus AND assignment operator. It takes modulus using two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.	C %= A is equivalent to C = C % A
		<<=	Left shift AND assignment operator.	C <<= 2 is same as C = C << 2
		>>=	Right shift AND assignment operator.	C >>= 2 is same as C = C >> 2
		&=	Bitwise AND assignment operator.	C &= 2 is same as C = C & 2
		^=	Bitwise exclusive OR and assignment operator.	C ^= 2 is same as C = C ^ 2
		|=	Bitwise inclusive OR and assignment operator.	C |= 2 is same as C = C | 2
6	Misc. Operators	sizeof()	Returns the size of a variable.	sizeof(a), where a is integer, will return 4
		&	Returns the address of a variable.	&a; returns the actual address of the variable.
		*	Pointer to a variable.	*a;
		? :	Conditional Expression.	If Condition is true? then value X : otherwise value Y
