ARITHMETIC OPERATORS

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical computations. They have

numerical operands and return numerical results. The type char technically repre-

sents small integers, so the char variables can be used as operands in arithmetic

operations.

All arithmetic operators associate from left to right.

Arithmetic Operators Overview

Note: Operator * is context sensitive and can also represent the pointer reference

operator.

Binary Arithmetic Operators

Division of two integers returns an integer, while remainder is simply truncated:

Binary Operators

+ addition 12

- subtraction 12

* multiplication 13

/ division 13

modulus operator returns the remainder of inte-

ger division (cannot be used with floating points)

Unary Operators

+ unary plus does not affect the operand 14

- unary minus changes the sign of the operand 14

increment adds one to the value of the operand.

Postincrement adds one to the value of the

operand after it evaluates; while preincrement

adds one before it evaluates

decrement subtracts one from the value of the

operand. Postdecrement subtracts one from the

value of the operand after it evaluates; while pre-

decrement subtracts one before it evaluates
