C++ Operators

In C++, operators are special symbols that are used to perform operations on variables or values. There are various types of operators in C++, including:

Arithmetic Operators
Assignment Operators
Comparison Operators
Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators
Conditional Operator

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations on variables. The basic arithmetic operators in C++ are addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus (%).

Here’s an example:

int x = 10;
int y = 3;
int z = x + y; // z = 13
int a = x * y; // a = 30
int b = x % y; // b = 1 (modulus gives the remainder after division)

Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. The basic assignment operator in C++ is the equal sign (=).

Here’s an example:

int x = 10;
x += 5; // equivalent to x = x + 5, so x = 15

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare values. The basic comparison operators in C++ are less than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (<=), greater than or equal to (>=), equal to (==), and not equal to (!=).

Here’s an example:

int x = 10;
int y = 5;
bool result = x > y; // result = true

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine boolean expressions. The basic logical operators in C++ are and (&&), or (||), and not (!).

Here’s an example:

bool a = true;
bool b = false;
bool result = a && b; // result = false

Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators are used to perform operations on the binary representations of values. The basic bitwise operators in C++ are and (&), or (|), not (~), exclusive or (^), left shift (<<), and right shift (>>).

Here’s an example:

int x = 5; // binary representation: 0101
int y = 3; // binary representation: 0011
int result = x & y; // result = 1 (binary representation: 0001)

Conditional Operator

The conditional operator ‘? :’ is a ternary operator that evaluates a condition and returns one of two values, depending on whether the condition is true or false.

Here’s an example:

int x = 10;
int y = 5;
int result = (x > y) ? x : y; // result = 10
