Arithmatic Operator in C

0 225

Arithmetic operators in C are used to perform mathematical calculations on operands.

The main arithmetic operators are:

1Addition (+)

2Subtraction (-)

3Multiplication (*)

4Division (/)

5Modulus (%)

1 Addition (+)

The addition operator (+) is used to add two operands.

Syntax:

result = operand1 + operand2;

Example:

 // program for addition operator in C
#include<stdio.h> 

int main() {
    int a = 5, b = 3;
    int result = a + b;
    
    printf("Addition of %d and %d is: %d\n", a, b, result);
    
    return 0;
}

Output:

Addition of 5 and 3 is: 8

2Subtraction (-)

The subtraction operator (-) subtracts the right operand from the left operand.

Syntax:


 result = operand1 - operand2;

Example:

 // program for subtraction in C
#include<stdio.h> 

int main() {
    int a = 10, b = 4;
    int result = a - b;
    
    printf("Subtraction of %d and %d is: %d\n", a, b, result);
    
    return 0;
}

Output:

Subtraction of 10 and 4 is: 6

3Multiplication (*)

The multiplication operator (*) multiplies two operands.

Syntax:

 result = operand1 * operand2;

Example:

 // program for multiplication in C
#include<stdio.h> 

int main() {
    int a = 6, b = 7;
    int result = a * b;
    
    printf("Multiplication of %d and %d is: %d\n", a, b, result);
    
    return 0;
}

Output:

Multiplication of 6 and 7 is: 42

4Division (/)

The division operator (/) divides the left operand by the right operand.

Syntax:

result = operand1 / operand2;

Example:

// program for division in C
#include<stdio.h> 

int main() {
    int a = 20, b = 5;
    int result = a / b;
    
    printf("Division of %d by %d is: %d\n", a, b, result);
    
    return 0;
}

Output:

Division of 20 by 5 is: 4

5Modulus (%)

The modulus operator (%) returns the remainder when the left operand is divided by the right operand.

Syntax:

 result = operand1 % operand2;

Example:

// progam for modulus in C
#include<stdio.h. 

int main() {
    int a = 10, b = 3;
    int result = a % b;
    
    printf("Modulus of %d by %d is: %d\n", a, b, result);
    
    return 0;
}

Output:
