This is a list of operators in the C and C++ programming languages.. All listed operators are in C++ and lacking indication otherwise, in C as well. Some tables include a "In C" column that indicates whether an operator is also in C. Note that C does not support operator overloading.
In order to reflect normal usage, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operators are usually left-associative, [1] [2] [3] while for an exponentiation operator (if present) [4] [better source needed] there is no general agreement. Any assignment operators are typically right-associative. To prevent cases where operands would be ...
For example, (2 + 3) × 4 = 20 forces addition to precede multiplication, while (3 + 5) 2 = 64 forces addition to precede exponentiation. If multiple pairs of parentheses are required in a mathematical expression (such as in the case of nested parentheses), the parentheses may be replaced by other types of brackets to avoid confusion, as in [2 ...
Modular exponentiation is the remainder when an integer b (the base) is raised to the power e (the exponent), and divided by a positive integer m (the modulus); that is, c = b e mod m. From the definition of division, it follows that 0 ≤ c < m. For example, given b = 5, e = 3 and m = 13, dividing 5 3 = 125 by 13 leaves a remainder of c = 8.
These functions can be used to control a variety of settings that affect floating-point computations, for example, the rounding mode, on what conditions exceptions occur, when numbers are flushed to zero, etc. The floating-point environment functions and types are defined in <fenv.h> header (<cfenv> in C++).
This definition uses exponentiation (= =) as the base case, and tetration (=) as repeated exponentiation. This is equivalent to the hyperoperation sequence except it omits the three more basic operations of succession , addition and multiplication .
Exponentiation is easily misconstrued: note that the operation of raising to a power is right-associative (see below). Tetration is iterated exponentiation (call this right-associative operation ^), starting from the top right side of the expression with an instance a^a (call this value c). Exponentiating the next leftward a (call this the ...
C++ can't be described as a superset of C unless it contains all of the features that C contains, and unless all C programs translate correctly under a C++ environment. The modulo operator provides an example of a C program translating incorrectly under a C++ environment. Plebbeh 00:00, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
