Title of script: Arithmetic Operators in C and C++

Keywords: Arithmetic Operators, Video Tutorial

Narration
Slide 1 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Arithmetic Operators in C

C++.

Slide 2


In this tutorial, we will learn:

Arithmetic operators

+ Addition: eg. a+b.

- Subtraction: eg. a-b.

/ Division: eg. a/b.

* Multiplication: eg. a*b.

% Modulus: eg. a%b.

Slide 3


To record this tutorial, I am using:

Ubuntu 11.10 as the operating system and

gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1 in Ubuntu.

I will now demonstrate the use of these arithmetic operations with the help of a C program.
Switch to the file arithmetic.c in gedit I have already written the program.

So I will open the editor and explain the code.

Highlight

int a,b;

float c;

a=5;

b=2;

Here is the C program for arithmetic operators.

In the first four statements the variables are declared and defined.

In the next two statements,

a is assigned the value of 5.

b is assigned the value of 2.

Highlight

c=a+b;


Now let's see how the addition operator works.

c holds the sum of a and b.

Highlight

printf("Addition of a and

b is %.2f\n",c);

This printf statement displays the sum of a and b on the screen.

Here %.2f provides the precision of two digits after the decimal point.

Highlight

c=a*b;

In the next statement, c holds the product of a and b.
Highlight

printf("Multiplication of a and

b is %.2f\n",c);

This printf statement displays the product of a and b on the screen.

Let's see how these two operators work.

Type

/*


*/

Now let us comment these lines

Type

/*

*/

Click on Save Click on Save to save the program.

Save the file with extension .c

I have saved the file as arithmetic.c

press Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously. Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously.
Type


gcc incr.c -o incr

Type

./incr

To compile, type the following on the terminal

gcc arithmetic.c -o arith

Press Enter

To execute the code, type

./arith

press Enter
Output The output is displayed on the screen.

It shows,

Sum of a and b is 7.00 and

Product of a and b is 10.00

Assignment Now you should try the subtraction operator on your own

Try replacing the addition operator with subtraction operator.

You should get the result as 3.

Switch back to the editor


Delete /* and */


Coming back to the program and the last set of statements.

Now, I will explain the code for division.

Remove the multi line comments from here and here.

Highlight

c=a/b;


In these statements, c holds the value of integer division of a and b.

Please note that in integer division the fractional part is truncated.

Highlight

printf("Integer Division of a and b is %.2f\n", c);

The printf statement displays the division output on the screen.
Highlight

c=(float)a/b;

In this statement we are performing real division.

Here one of the operands has to be cast as float

The printf statement displays the output of real division on the screen.

For real division, one of the operands has to be cast as float.

Highlight

printf("Real Division of a and b

is %.2f\n",c);

We have type-cast variable a.

Now a will behave as a float varibale for a single operation.

return 0;

}

Type return 0 and close the ending curly bracket.
Click on Save Click on Save.
Switch back to the terminal. Coming back to the terminal to compile and execute the code.
Type


gcc incr.c -o incr

Type

./incr

To compile, type the following on the terminal

gcc arithmetic.c -o arith

To execute the code, type

./arith

Output The output is displayed on the screen:

We have the previous outputs of addition and multiplication operators.

Addition of a and b is 7.00

Multiplication of a and b is 10.00

We have the Integer Division of 5 and 2 is 2.00

We can see that in integer division the fractional part is truncated.

Then we have the Real Division of 5 and 2 is 2.50

In real division the result is as expected.

We used type-casting to obtain these result.

Now suppose, I want to write the same program in C++.

Let see can we use the same code in C++, too?

Switch back to the editor Let's find out.

Let me go back to the editor.

Click on the C++ file in the editor Here is a C++ file with the necessary code.
// Arithmetic Operators in C++

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

Notice that the header is different from the C file header.

namespace is also used here.

int main()

{

int a,b;

float c;

a=5;

b=2;

c=a+b;

cout <<"Addition of a and b is "

<<c <<"\n";

c=a*b;

cout <<"Multiplication of a and

b is " <<c <<"\n";

c=a/b;

cout <<"Integer Division of a

and b is " <<c <<"\n";

c=(float)a/b;

cout <<"Real Division of a and

b is " <<c <<"\n";

return 0;

}

Also, notice that the output statement in C++ is cout.
So, apart from these differences, the two codes are very similar.
Click on Save.

point to .cpp

Click on Save.

Make sure the file is saved with the extension .cpp

I have saved my file as arithmetic.cpp

On the terminal type

g++ arithmetic.cpp -o arithmetic

Let's execute the code and seewhat results we get.

Open the terminal and type

g++ arithmetic.cpp -o arith

Press Enter

On the terminal type

./ arithmetic

Let's execute this code and see what results we get.

Type

./ arith

Here the output is displayed:

Addition of a and b is 7.00

Multiplication of a and b is 10.00

Integer Division of a and b is 2.00

Real Division of a and b is 2.50

So, we see that the results are identical.

The only difference is in the precisions of outputs.

Summary: Let us now summarize the tutorial.

In this tutorial we learnt how to use the arithmetic operators.

Assignment: As an assignment:

Write a program to demonstrate the use of modulus operator.

Please note that Modulus operator finds the remainder of division.

eg. c = a % b;

You should obtain the result as 1.
