C Operators

operator is used to perform some mathematical operations.

Eg:

x=1,y=2;

X + Y

Here x and y are called operand.

+ are called operators.

That is, the + operation works on x and y. Let us assume that the value of x is 1 and the value of y is 2.

The + operator adds these two together and gives us 3.

These are called operand and operator.

Classification of operators:

Unary operator

Binary operator

Ternary operator

Unary operator:

Unary operators are operators that operate on only one operand.

Eg:

++(increment operator)

++a

--(decrement operator)

--a

Binary operator:

Operators that operate using two operands are binary operators.

Eg:

+,-,%,…etc

a+b;

Ternary operator:

Operators using three operands are ternary operators.

It is also known as conditional operator.

(expression 1)?(expression 2):(expression 3);
