C++ Operators - Arithmetic

Arithmetic operators are used to perform common mathematical operations. See table below to

Operator	Name	Description	Example
+	Addition	Adds together two values	x + y
-	Subtraction	Subtracts one value from another	x - y
*	Multiplication	Multiplies two values	x * y
/	Division	Divides one value by another	x / y
%	Modulus	Returns the division remainder	x % y
++	Increment	Increases the value of a variable by 1	++x
--	Decrement	Decreases the value of a ariable by 1	--x

C++ Operator Example: Addition

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 1 + 2;
  cout << x;
  return 0;
}

Output

C++ Operator Example: Subtraction

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 2 - 1;
  cout << x;
  return 0;
}

Output

C++ Operator Example: Multiplication

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 2 * 3;
  cout << x;
  return 0;
}

Output

C++ Operator Example: Division

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 6 / 2;
  cout << x;
  return 0;
}

Output

C++ Operator Example: Modulus

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 6 % 2;
  cout << x;
  return 0;
}

Output

C++ Operator Example: Increment

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 4;
  x ++;
  return 0;
}

Output

C++ Operator Example: Decrement

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x = 4;
  x --;
  return 0;
}

Output
