Assignment operators in C:

• In C programs, values for the variables are assigned using assignment operators.
• For example, if the value “10″ is to be assigned for the variable “sum”, it can be assigned as “sum = 10;”
• Other assignment operators in C language are given below.

Operators		Example	Explanation
Simple assignment operator	=	sum = 10	10 is assigned to variable sum
Compound assignment operators	+=	sum += 10	This is same as sum = sum + 10
	-=	sum -= 10	This is same as sum = sum – 10
	*=	sum *= 10	This is same as sum = sum * 10
	/+	sum /= 10	This is same as sum = sum / 10
	%=	sum %= 10	This is same as sum = sum % 10
	&=	sum&=10	This is same as sum = sum & 10
	^=	sum ^= 10	This is same as sum = sum ^ 10

Example program for C assignment operators:

• In this program, values from 0 – 9 are summed up and total “45″ is displayed as output.
• Assignment operators such as “=” and “+=” are used in this program to assign the values and to sum up the values.

Code:

# include <stdio.h>

int main()
 {
 int Total=0,i;
 for(i=0;i<10;i++)
 {
 Total+=i; // This is same as Total = Toatal+i
 }
 printf("Total = %d", Total);
 }

Output:

Total = 45

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.
