Operators

 

The operations are represented by operators and the object of the operation are referred to as operands.

5 types of operators:

1. Arithmetic Operator 

  • Addition : 2 + 4 = 6
  • Subtraction : 2 - 4 = -2
  • Multiplication : 2 * 4 = 8
  • Division : 2 / 4 = 0
  • Modulus (remainder operator, used only with integer values) : 7 % 2 = 1

2. Increment (++) / Decrement (--) Operator

Increment Operator increases its operand value by 1 while decrement operator decreases its operand value by 1. 

They both have two types :

  • Prefix : First it will increase (or decrease) the operand value by one and then participate in the operation.

  • Postfix : First it will participate in the operation and then increase (or decrease) the operand value by 1.

3. Relational Operator

They determine the relation among different operands. But they do not work with strings.

6 types of relational operator are:

  • > greater than
  • < less than
  • >= greater than or equals to
  • <= less than or equals to
  • == equal to
  • != not equal to

If the comparison is true then relational operator returns 1 otherwise 0.

4. Logical Operator

C++ provides 3 logical operators to combine existing expressions :

  • && : logical AND represents multiplication
  • || : logical OR represents addition
  • ! : logical NOT represents compliment or reverse

5. Conditional Operator

C++ offers a conditional operator ( ? : ) that stores a value depending upon a condition.

It is a ternary operator i.e, it requires 3 operands.

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

If expression 1 evaluates to true then result will be expression 2 otherwise result will be expression 3.

Data Representation

 Digital Number System In digital representation, various number systems are used. The most common ones are : Binary : base 2 (0, 1) Octal : base 8 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) Decimal : base 10 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) Hexadecimal : base 16 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F) Number Conversions : From Decimal to any system (base) (Decimal) 10 = (Any) base

Data Type Modifiers

 As the name suggests, data type modifiers are used with fundamental data types to modify the length of data that a particular data type can hold. Following 4 datatype modifiers are available in C++: Signed Unsigned Short Long

Selection statement

  If statement  If tests a particular condition, if the condition evaluates to true then set of statements under the body of 'if' statement will be executed otherwise it will be ignored by the compiler. Syntax : if(<condition>) {      statements; } <> : programmer defined If else statement If we use 'else' statement with 'if' statement then if the condition of 'if' statement evaluates to false, in that case body of else statement will be executed, otherwise it will be ignored. Syntax :  if(<condition>) {      statements; } else {     statements; } If-else-if ladder If we use 'else if' statement with 'if' statement then if any condition evaluates to true, in that case its associated statement will be executed and all other 'else if' and 'else' statement will be ignored by the compiler. Syntax :  if(<condition>) {      statements; } else if(<condition>) {    statements; } els...
