  Operators

1.What is an operator?

Ans : An operator is a symbol that operates a variable.

There are six type of operators :

1.     Arithmetic operator.

2.     Assignment operator.

3.     Relational operator.

4.     Logical operator.

5.     Bitwise operator.

6.     Increment and decrement operator. 

a. Arithmetic operator : It Performs Mathematical operations.

 

Operators name	Symbol
1. Addition	‘+’
2.Subraction	‘-’
3.Multiplication	‘*’
4.Division	‘/’
5.Modulus	‘%’

b. Assignment operator : It is used for assigning a value to a variable.

                                                 (The most common variable used is '='.)

Operators	Examples	Same as
1. ‘=’	a=b	b=a
2. ‘+=’	a+=b	a=a+b
3. ‘-=’	a-=b	a=a-b
4. ‘*=”	a*=b	a=a*b
5. ‘/=’	a/=b	a=a/b

 

c. Relation operator : It checks relation between two operands.

Operators	Meaning
1. ‘==’	Equal to
2. ‘>’	Greater
3. ‘<’	Lesser
4. ‘>=”	Greater than equal to
5. ‘<=’	Lesser than equal to

d. Logical operator :

Operators	Meaning
1. &&	Logical and : used if Both condition are true.
2. ||	Logical Or : used if a single condition is true.
3. !	Logical Not: It is true only if operand is zero.

 

e. Bitwise operator :

 

Operators	Meaning
1. &	Equal to
2. |	Greater
3. ^	Lesser
4. ~	Greater than equal to
5. !	Lesser than equal to
6.<<	Right shift
7.>>	Left shift

f. Increment and Decrement operator :

 

Operators	Meaning
1. ++	Increment operator  : used for increment (addition)
2. --	Decrement operator : used for decrement   (subtract)
