Arithmetic  operators  are  used  to  perform  mathematical  computations.  They  have  numerical  operands  and  return 

numerical results. The type 

char

 technically represents small integers, so the 

char

 variables can be used as operands 

in arithmetic operations.

All arithmetic operators associate from left to right.

Arithmetic Operators Overview

+

addition

12

-

subtruction

12

*

multiplication

13

/

division

13

%

modulus  operator  returns  the  remainder  of  integer  division 

(cannot be used with floating points)

13

+

unary plus does not affect the operand

14

-

unary minus changes the sign of the operand

14

++

increment adds one to the value of the operand. Postincrement 

adds one to the value of the operand after it evaluates; while 

preincrement adds one before it evaluates

14

--

decrement  subtracts  one  from  the  value  of  the  operand. 

Postdecrement  subtracts  one  from  the  value  of  the  operand 

after it evaluates; while predecrement subtracts one before it 

evaluates

Note: Operator 

* 

is context sensitive and can also represent the pointer reference operator.
