The symbols which are used to perform logical and mathematical operations in a C program are called
C operators.
These C operators join individual constants and variables to form expressions.
Operators, functions, constants and variables are combined together to form expressions.
Consider the expression A + B * 5. where, +, * are operators, A, B are variables, 5 is constant and A + B * 5 is an expression.
TYPES OF C OPERATORS:
- Arithmetic operators: These are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus.
- Assignment operators: These are used to assign the values for the variables in C programs.
- Relational operators:These operators are used to compare the value of two variables.
- Logical operators:These operators are used to perform logical operations on the given two variables.
- Bit wise operators:These operators are used to perform bit operations on given two variables.
- Conditional operators (ternary operators):Conditional operators return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
- Increment/decrement operators:These operators are used to either increase or decrease the value of the variable by one.
- Special operators :&, *, sizeof( ) and ternary operators.
