Ideas in this flowchart
- C arithmetic operators
- C supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with +, -, *, and /.
- Each arithmetic operator is binary and acts on two operands.
- Operands can be literals, variables, or expressions.
- Multiplication and division have precedence over addition and subtraction.
- Integer arithmetic examples include d = a + 5, d = a + b, d = a - b, d = a + b * c, d = a * b, and d = a / b.
- Floating-point arithmetic examples use double variables with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Arithmetic can combine int and double operands, such as w = a + x and d = b + y.
- When both operands are integers, the result is an integer for all four operators.
- Integer division produces truncation, including d = a / b and d = b + y when the resulting assignment involves an int.
- Special care must be taken when dealing with int types.
