This document discusses arithmetic, logical, and relational operations and expressions in C++. It covers basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It also discusses arithmetic expressions, precedence rules, assignment statements, initializing variables, relational operations, logical operations, unary operators, and good programming style practices like indenting, comments, and using constants.
Operation and expression in c++
- 1. OPERATION AND EXPRESSION IN C++ 1
- 2. Basic Arithmetic Operation • Arithmetic is performed with operators – + for addition – - for subtraction – * for multiplication – / for division • Example: storing a product in the variable total_weight total_weight = one_weight * number_of_bars; 2
- 3. Arithmetic Expression • Arithmetic operators can be used with any numeric type • An operand is a number or variable used by the operator • Result of an operator depends on the types of operands – If both operands are int, the result is int – If one or both operands are double, the result is double 3
- 4. Arithmetic Expression (cont.) • Division with at least one operator of type double produces the expected results. double divisor, dividend, quotient; divisor = 3; dividend = 5; quotient = dividend / divisor; – quotient = 1.6666… – Result is the same if either dividend or divisor is of type int 4
- 5. Arithmetic Expression (cont.) • Be careful with the division operator! – int / int produces an integer result (true for variables or numeric constants) int dividend, divisor, quotient; dividend = 5; divisor = 3; quotient = dividend / divisor; – The value of quotient is 1, not 1.666… – Integer division does not round the result, the fractional part is discarded! 5
- 6. Arithmetic Expression (cont.) • % operator gives the remainder from integer division • int dividend, divisor, remainder; dividend = 5; divisor = 3; remainder = dividend % divisor; The value of remainder is 2 6
- 9. Arithmetic Expression (cont.) • Use spacing to make expressions readable – Which is easier to read? x+y*z or x + y * z • Precedence rules for operators are the same as used in your algebra classes • Use parentheses to alter the order of operations x + y * z ( y is multiplied by z first) (x + y) * z ( x and y are added first) 9
- 10. Arithmetic Expression (cont.) • Some expressions occur so often that C++ contains to shorthand operators for them • All arithmetic operators can be used this way – += eg. count = count + 2; becomes count += 2; – *= eg. bonus = bonus * 2; becomes bonus *= 2; – /= eg. time = time / rush_factor; becomes time /= rush_factor; – %= eg. remainder = remainder % (cnt1+ cnt2); becomes remainder %= (cnt1 + cnt2); 10
- 11. Assignment Statement • An assignment statement changes the value of a variable – total_weight = one_weight + number_of_bars; • total_weight is set to the sum one_weight + number_of_bars – Assignment statements end with a semi-colon – The single variable to be changed is always on the left of the assignment operator ‘=‘ – On the right of the assignment operator can be • Constants -- age = 21; • Variables -- my_cost = your_cost; • Expressions -- circumference = diameter * 3.14159; 11
- 12. Assignment Statement (cont.) • The ‘=‘ operator in C++ is not an equal sign – The following statement cannot be true in algebra • number_of_bars = number_of_bars + 3; – In C++ it means the new value of number_of_bars is the previous value of number_of_bars plus 3 12
- 13. Assignment Statement (cont.) – Initializing Variables • Declaring a variable does not give it a value – Giving a variable its first value is initializing the variable • Variables are initialized in assignment statements double mpg; // declare the variable mpg = 26.3; // initialize the variable • Declaration and initialization can be combined using two methods – Method 1 double mpg = 26.3, area = 0.0 , volume; – Method 2 double mpg(26.3), area(0.0), volume; 13
- 14. Relational Operation • A Boolean Expression is an expression that is either true or false – Boolean expressions are evaluated using relational operations such as • = = , !=, < , >, <=, and >= which produce a boolean value – and boolean operations such as • &&, | |, and ! which also produce a boolean value • Type bool allows declaration of variables that carry the value true or false 14
- 15. Relational Operation (cont.) • Boolean expressions are evaluated using values from the Truth Tables • For example, if y is 8, the expression !( ( y < 3) | | ( y > 7) ) is evaluated in the following sequence ! ( false | | true ) ! ( true ) false 15

- 17. Mantic/Logic Operation – Order of Precedence • If parenthesis are omitted from boolean expressions, the default precedence of operations is: – Perform ! operations first – Perform relational operations such as < next – Perform && operations next – Perform | | operations last 17
- 18. Mantic/Logic Operation –Precedence Rules • Items in expressions are grouped by precedence rules for arithmetic and boolean operators – Operators with higher precedence are performed first – Binary operators with equal precedence are performed left to right – Unary operators of equal precedence are performed right to left 18
- 19. 19
- 20. Precedence Rules - Example • The expression (x+1) > 2 | | (x + 1) < -3 is equivalent to ( (x + 1) > 2) | | ( ( x + 1) < -3) – Because > and < have higher precedence than | | • and is also equivalent to x+1>2||x+1<-3 20
- 21. Precedence Rules – Example (cont.) • (x+1) > 2 | | (x + 1) < -3 • First apply the unary – – Next apply the +'s – Now apply the > and < – Finally do the | | 21
- 22. Unary Operator • Unary operators require only one operand – + in front of a number such as +5 – - in front of a number such as -5 • ++ increment operator – Adds 1 to the value of a variable x ++; is equivalent to x = x + 1; • -- decrement operator – Subtracts 1 from the value of a variable x --; is equivalent to x = x – 1; 22
- 23. Program Style • A program written with attention to style – is easier to read – easier to correct – easier to change 23
- 24. Program Style - Indenting • Items considered a group should look like a group – Skip lines between logical groups of statements – Indent statements within statements if (x = = 0) statement; • Braces {} create groups – Indent within braces to make the group clear – Braces placed on separate lines are easier to locate 24
- 25. Program Style - Comments • // is the symbol for a single line comment – Comments are explanatory notes for the programmer – All text on the line following // is ignored by the compiler – Example: //calculate regular wages gross_pay = rate * hours; • /* and */ enclose multiple line comments – Example: /* This is a comment that spans multiple lines without a comment symbol on the middle line */ 25
- 26. Program Style - Constant • Number constants have no mnemonic value • Number constants used throughout a program are difficult to find and change when needed • Constants – Allow us to name number constants so they have meaning – Allow us to change all occurrences simply by changing the value of the constant 26
