Using Operators in C Language to manipulate Data & Variables
C language supports built-in operators. There are different types of operators in C language like arithmetic, logical, bitwise & shift operators. The operator tells the compiler to perform a certain mathematical or logical manipulation.
Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators in C language are used to carry arithmetic operations. The binary arithmetic operators used in C language are '+', '-', '*', '/' & '%'. These Arithmetic operators in C are binary operators which means they operate on two operands. For Example,
Operator | Description | Example |
+ | Adds two operands | 10 + 2 = 12 |
- | Subtracts two operands | 10 - 2 = 8 |
* | Multiply two operands | 10 * 2 = 20 |
/ | Divide two operands | 10/2 = 5 |
% | Modulus - It returns the remainder | 10%4 = 2 |
