The Assignment operators in C are some of the Programming operators that are useful for assigning the values to the declared variables. Equals (=) operator is the most commonly used assignment operator. For example:
int i = 10;
The below table displays all the assignment operators present in C Programming with an example.
| C Assignment Operators | Example | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| = | x = 25 | Value 25 is assigned to x |
| += | x += 25 | This is the same as x = x + 25 |
| -= | x -= 25 | This is the same as x = x – 25 |
| *= | y *= 25 | This is the same as y = y * 25 |
| /= | y /= 25 | This is the same as y = y / 25 |
| %= | y%= 25 | This is the same as y = y % 25 |
Assignment Operators in C Example
In this program, We are using two integer variables, a, Total, and their values are 7 and 21. Next, we are going to use these two variables to show you the working functionality of all the Assignment Operators in C programming language.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a = 7;
int Total = 21;
printf(" Value of the Total = %d \n", Total += a );
printf(" Value of the Total = %d \n", Total -= a );
printf(" Value of the Total = %d \n", Total *= a );
printf(" Value of the Total = %d \n", Total /= a );
printf(" Value of the Total = %d \n", Total %= a );
return 0;
}
The first printf statements will perform Programming Assignment operations on a and Total, and then the output of the result will be displayed. Let us see the Programming Optr functionality in this Program.
Total += a means
Total = Total + a = 21 + 7 = 28
Total -= a => Total – a = 28 – 7 = 21
Total *= a => Total * a = 21 * 7 = 147
Total /= a => Total / a = 147 / 7 = 21
Total %= a => 21 % 7 = 0 (Remainder of 21/7 is = 0)
