C Tutorial/Operator/Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators in action
- Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, \ and the modulus operator %.
- % cannot be used for float data type or double data type.
#include<stdio.h>
main(){
int a = 1,b = 2,c = 3,d = 4;
int sum,sub,mul,rem;
float div;
sum = b+c;
sub = b-c;
mul = b*c;
div = b/c;
rem = b%d;
a = b/c * d;
printf("\n sum = %d, sub = %d, mul = %d, div = %f",sum,sub,mul,div);
printf("\n remainder of division of b & d is %d",rem);
printf("\n a = %d",a);
}Common Arithmetic Operators
Operator Description Example
Multiplication Result = Operand1 * Operand2; / Division Result = Operand1 / Operand2; % Modulus (remainder) Remainder = Operand1 % Operand2; + Addition Result = Operand1 + Operand2; - Subtraction Result = Operand1 -Operand2;
Using the Addition operator
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
int iOperand1 = 0;
int iOperand2 = 0;
int iResult = 0;
printf("\nEnter first operand: ");
scanf("%d", &iOperand1);
printf("Enter second operand: ");
scanf("%d", &iOperand2);
iResult = iOperand1 + iOperand2;
printf("The result is %d\n", iResult);
}Enter first operand: 1
Enter second operand: 2
The result is 3
