Assignment Operator

The document explains assignment operators in C programming, detailing how they can simplify expressions like 'x = x + y' to 'x += y'. It also covers pre-increment and post-increment operators, as well as pre-decrement and post-decrement operators, providing examples for clarity. Additionally, it discusses Java operator classification and precedence, along with the concept of constant variables.

Assignment Operators
Assignment Operators
 When the first variable on the right side of the assignment is the same as the one on the
left side, we can implement assignment operators.
 The following table clear the idea of the assignment operators

Assignment Statement Assignment Operator


x = x + y; x += y;

x = x – y; x -= y;

x = x * y; x *= y;

x = x / y; x /= y;
x = x % y; x %= y;

PreIncrement & PostIncrement Operator (++)
 PreIncrement : Add one to the variable and then use the new value in the expression.
Example:
int x =3, y; 1. Add 1 to x  x= 4
y = ++x * 5; 2. Evaluate: x * 5  4 * 5 = 20
3. Store 20 into y

printf(“y = %d”,y); // y = 20
 PostIncrement: Use the old value of the variable in the expression then add one to it.
Example:
int x =3, y; 1. Evaluate: x * 5  3 * 5 = 15
y = x++ * 5; 2. Store 15 into y
3. Add 1 to x  x= 4

printf(“y = %d”,y); // y = 15

M. Rana Bader 4
PreDecrement & PostDecrement Operator (--)
 PreDecrement : Subtract one from the variable and then use the new value in the
expression. Example:
int x =3, y; 1. Subtract 1 from x  x= 2
y = --x * 5; 2. Evaluate: x * 5  2 * 5 = 10
3. Store 10 into y

printf(“y = %d”, y); // y = 10


 PostDecrement: Use the old value of the variable in the expression then subtract one
from it.
Example:
1. Evaluate: x * 5  3 * 5 = 15
int x =3, y;
2. Store 15 into y
y = x-- * 5; 3. Subtract 1 from x  x= 2

printf(“y = %d”, y); // y = 15

Java Operator
Operator Classification Description
Arithmetic operations
(+, -, *, /, %)

Assignment statement (=)


Binary Operators Required two operands

Assignment operators
(+=, -=, *=, /=, %=)

Pre/Post Increment (++)


Unary Operators Required one operand
Pre/Post decrement (--)

M. Rana Bader 6
Java Operator Precedence

 Java has the following operator precedence from left to right as follows:
1. ( …)
2. ++, --
3. *, /, %
4. +, -
5. =, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=

M. Rana Bader 7
Constant Variable

 const data _type cosnt_name = value;


 Ex:
const float pi = 3.14;

 Foreach constant variable


1- It cant not be changed or modified .
2- We can use it on the right side variable in the assignment statement.
3- We can print out its value.
