Arithmetic Operators in C:

• C Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus in C programs.

S.no	Arithmetic Operators	Operation	Example
1	+	Addition	A+B
2	-	Subtraction	A-B
3	*	Multiplication	A*B
4	/	Division	A/B
5	%	Modulus	A%B

Example program for C arithmetic operators:

• In this example program, two values “40″ and “20″ are used to perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus and output is displayed for each operation.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
 {
 int a=40,b=20, add,sub,mul,div,mod;
 add = a+b;
 sub = a-b;
 mul = a*b;
 div = a/b;
 mod = a%b;
 printf("Addition of a, b is : %d\n", add);
 printf("Subtraction of a, b is : %d\n", sub);
 printf("Multiplication of a, b is : %d\n", mul);
 printf("Division of a, b is : %d\n", div);
 printf("Modulus of a, b is : %d\n", mod);
 } 

Output:

Addition of a, b is : 60
 Subtraction of a, b is : 20
 Multiplication of a, b is : 800
 Division of a, b is : 2
 Modulus of a, b is : 0

S.no	Types of Operators	Description
1	Arithmetic operators	These are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulus
2	Assignment operators	These are used to assign the values for the variables in C programs.
3	Relational operators	These operators are used to compare the value of two variables.
4	Logical operators	These operators are used to perform logical operations on the given two variables
5	Bit wise operators	These operators are used to perform bit operations on given two variables.
6	Conditional (ternary) operators	Conditional operators return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
7	Increment/decrement operators	These operators are used to either increase or decrease the value of the variable by one.
8	Special operators	&, *, sizeof( ) and ternary operators.
