Arithmetic Operators in C++

Arithmetic Operators in C++

Mathematics operators are used to carrying out a few mathematical operations. Like some other operators, C++ additionally supports mathematics operators to carry out a few mathematical actions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and so forth. In this newsletter, we are going to discuss the operators supported by the C++ language.

Top 7 Arithmetic Operators in C++

Below is the list of different operators explained in more detail.

• Addition Operator (+): It is used to add two operands. Suppose X and Y are two operands, this plus operators will add up these two operands X + Y.
• Subtraction Operator (-): It is used to subtract two operands. Suppose X and Y are two operands, then this minis operator will subtract the value of the second operand from the first operand.
• Multiplication Operator (*): It is used to multiply two operands. Suppose X and Y are two operands then this multiplication operator will multiply X with Y.
• Division Operator (/): It is used to numerator by the denominator. Suppose X and Y are two operands, this division operator divides the numerator by denominator.
• Modulus Operator (%): It is used to give the remainder of the division. Suppose X and Y are two operands then this modulus operator first divides the numerator by denominator and gives the remainder.
• Increment Operator (++): It is used to increment the value of the variable by 1. Suppose X is the operand, then this increment operator will add the value of X by 1.
• Decrement Operator (–): It is used to decrementing the value of the variable by 1. Suppose X is the operand, this decrement operator will decrement the value of X by 1.

Examples of Arithmetic Operators in C++

Let’s discuss some examples to understand them in a better way.

Example #1 – Program to Use Addition (+) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X, Y, total;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

cout << "Enter the value of Y: ";

cin >> Y;

total = X + Y;

cout << "Addition of X and Y is: " << total;

return 0;

}

Example #2 – Program to Use Subtraction (-) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X, Y, subtract;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

cout << "Enter the value of Y: ";

cin >> Y;

subtract = X - Y;

cout << "Subtraction of Y from X is: " << subtract;

return 0;

}

Example #3 – Program to Use Multiplication (*) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X, Y, multiply;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

cout << "Enter the value of Y: ";

cin >> Y;

multiply = X * Y;

cout << "Multiplication of X and Y is: " << multiply;

return 0;

}

Example #4 – Program to Use Division (/) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X, Y, divide;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

cout << "Enter the value of Y: ";

cin >> Y;

divide = X/Y;

cout << "Division of X and Y is: " << divide;

return 0;

}

Example #5 – Program to Use Modulus (%) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X, Y, remainder;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

cout << "Enter the value of Y: ";

cin >> Y;

remainder = X % Y;

cout << "Remainder of X and Y is: " << remainder;

return 0;

}

Example #6 – Program to Use Increment (++) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

X++;

cout << "Incremented value of X: " << X;

return 0;

}

Example #7 – Program to Use Decrement (–) Arithmetic Operator

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int X;

cout << "Enter the value of X: ";

cin >> X;

X--;

cout << "Decremented value of X: " << X;

return 0;

}
