C# - Arithmatic Operators

Following table shows all the arithmetic operators supported by C#. Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then −

Operator	Description	Example
+	Adds two operands	A + B = 30
-	Subtracts second operand from the first	A - B = -10
*	Multiplies both operands	A * B = 200
/	Divides numerator by de-numerator	B / A = 2
%	Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer division	B % A = 0
++	Increment operator increases integer value by one	A++ = 11
--	Decrement operator decreases integer value by one	A-- = 9

Example

The following example demonstrates all the arithmetic operators available in C# −

Live Demo

using System;

namespace OperatorsAppl {
   class Program { 
      static void Main(string[] args) { 
         int a = 21;
         int b = 10;
         int c;

         c = a + b;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 1 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         
         c = a - b;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 2 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         
         c = a * b;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 3 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         
         c = a / b;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 4 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         
         c = a % b;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 5 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         
         c = a++;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 6 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         
         c = a--;
         Console.WriteLine("Line 7 - Value of c is {0}", c);
         Console.ReadLine();
      }
   }
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −

Line 1 - Value of c is 31
Line 2 - Value of c is 11
Line 3 - Value of c is 210
Line 4 - Value of c is 2
Line 5 - Value of c is 1
Line 6 - Value of c is 21
Line 7 - Value of c is 22
