C Operators & Type Conversion

Arithmetic, comparison, logical and casting.

❮ Previous Next ❯

Arithmetic: + - * / % ++ --
Assignment: = += -= *= /=
Comparison: == != > < >= <= (result is 1 for true, 0 for false)
Logical: && || !

Casting

Integer division drops the decimals: 7 / 2 is 3. Cast to get a decimal result: (float) 7 / 2 is 3.5.

Key Takeaways: C Operators & Type Conversion

Mastering C Operators & Type Conversion helps you write clean and reliable C code. Follow standard conventions, test edge cases, and keep logic simple. Try running the code example below and complete the exercises to build confidence.

C Operators & Type Conversion Code Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int a = 7, b = 2;
    printf("%d\n", a / b);
    printf("%.1f\n", (float) a / b);
    printf("%d\n", a % b);
    printf("%d\n", a > b && b > 0);

    int x = 5;
    x += 3;
    printf("%d\n", x++);
    printf("%d\n", x);
    return 0;
}
