Explain the concept of Arithmetic operators in C language


It is used to perform the arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction etc.

Operator
Description
Example
a=20,b=10
Output
+
Addition
a+b
20+10
30
-
subtraction
a-b
20-10
10
*
multiplication
a*b
20*10
200
/
Division
a/b
20/10
2(quotient)
%
Modular Division
a%b
20%10
0 (remainder)

Algorithm

Follow the algorithm mentioned below −

START
Step 1: Declare integer variables.
Step 2: Read all variables at runtime.
Step 3: Perform arithmetic operations.
   i. a+b
   ii. a-b
   iii. a*b
   iv. b/a
   v. a%b
Step 4: Print all computed values.

Program

Following is the C program to compute arithmetic operators −

#include<stdio.h>
main (){
   int a,b;
   printf("enter a,b:
");    scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);    printf("a+b=%d
",a+b);    printf("a-b=%d
",a-b);    printf("a*b=%d
",a*b);    printf("b/a=%d
",b/a);    printf("a%b=%d
",a%b); }

Output

You will see the following output −

enter a,b:
40 60
a+b=100
a-b=-20
a*b=2400
b/a=1
ab=40
