int main()

7 int a = 25, b = 5;
8
9 // using operators and printing results
10 printf("a + b = %d\n", a + b);
11 printf("a - b = %d\n", a - b);
12 printf("a * b = %d\n", a * b);
13 printf("a / b = %d\n", a / b);
14 printf("a % b = %d\n", a % b);
15 printf("+a = %d\n", +a);
16 printf("-a = %d\n", -a);
17 printf("a++ = %d\n", a++);
18 printf("a-- = %d\n", a--);
19
20 return 0;

Output

a + b = 30
a - b = 20
a * b = 125
a / b = 5
a % b = 0
+a = 25
-a = -25
a++ = 25
a-- = 26

2. Relational Operators in C
The relational operators in C are used for the comparison of the two
operands. All these operators are binary operators that return true or
false values as the result of comparison.

These are a total of 6 relational operators in C:

S. No. Symbol Operator Description Syntax

1 Returns true if
the left
operand is
< Less than a<b
less than the
right operand.
Else false

2 Returns true if
the left
operand is
> Greater than greater than a>b
the right
operand. Else
false

3 Returns true if
the left
operand is
Less than or
<= less than or a <= b
equal to
equal to the
right operand.
Else false

4 Returns true if
the left
operand is
>= Greater than
greater than a >= b
or equal to
or equal to
right operand.
Else false

5 Returns true if

== both the
Equal to a == b
operands are
equal.

operands are
NOT equal.

Example of C Relational Operators

1 // C program to illustrate the relational operators

2 #include <stdio.h>
3
4 int main()
5 {
6
7 int a = 25, b = 5;
8
9 // using operators and printing results
10 printf("a < b : %d\n", a < b);
11 printf("a > b : %d\n", a > b);
12 printf("a <= b: %d\n", a <= b);
13 printf("a >= b: %d\n", a >= b);
14 printf("a == b: %d\n", a == b);
15 printf("a != b : %d\n", a != b);
16
17 return 0;
18 }

Output

a < b : 0
a > b : 1
a <= b: 0
a >= b: 1
a == b: 0
a != b : 1

Here, 0 means false and 1 means true.
