OPERATORS AND EXPRESSIONS IN C++

The operations ( specific tasks ) are represented by Operators and the objects of the operation(s) are referred to as Operands.

There are different types of operators.

1. Arithmetic Operators:

to do arithmetic operations.

+, -, *, /, % are arithmetic operators.

Example: 6+7=13, 12%5=2.

There are 2 types of Arithemetic Operators:

a) Unary Operators

operators that act on one operand.

+, -, are unary operators.

Example:

if x=12 then +x=12 and -x = -12

if x= -12 then + x = - 12 and - x= 12

b) Binary Operators

operators that act on two operands.

*, /, %, -

Example:

if a= 2 and b=5 hten

a+b=7

a*b=10

b-a= 3

b%a=1

5 - ( - 4)= 9

2. Increment and Decrement Operators

C++ includes two useful operators not generally found in other computer languages except C.

++ adds 1 to its operand

-- subtracts 1 to its operand

These operators come in two varieties: Postfix and Prefix version

3. Relational Operators

4. Logical Operators

5. Conditional Operators
