C# Arithmetic Operators

In this chapter you will learn:

• What is operator in C#?
• What is Arithmetic Operator?
• How to use Arithmetic operator in program?
• What is Escape Character and how to use it?

Operators are a very useful thing in computing value. While writing a program, you need various types of operators to calculate the value. These operators are categorized as different categories in C sharp tutorial that performs specific task ex. The C# arithmetic operator performs the basic calculation as add, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus whereas other operators perform a different kind of task. You will learn one by one all these operators in few next chapters.

Arithmetic Operators are used for basic mathematical calculation in C# programming. The list of Arithmetic Operators is given below:

Arithmetic Operators:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Arithmetic_Operators
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int num1, num2;
            int add, sub, mul;
            float div;

            //Accepting Values from users
            Console.Write("Enter first number\t\t");
            num1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            Console.Write("\n\nEnter second number\t\t");
            num2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

            //Processing Values
            //Used + operator for adding values
            add = num1 + num2;
            //Used - operator for subtracting values
            sub = num1 - num2;
            //Used * operator for multiplying values
            mul = num1 * num2;
            //Used / operator for dividing values
            div = (float)num1 / num2;

            //Displaying Output
            Console.WriteLine("\n\n=====================\n");
            Console.WriteLine("Addition\t\t{0}", add);
            Console.WriteLine("Subtraction\t\t{0}", sub);
            Console.WriteLine("Multiplication\t\t{0}", mul);
            Console.WriteLine("Division\t\t{0}", div);
            Console.WriteLine("\n=======================\n");

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Output

Enter first number   15

Enter second number   12

=====================

Addition   27

Subtraction   3

Multiplication   180

Division   1.25

Note: \t,\n these are the special characters in C# that is known as Escape Characters. It is used for special purpose such as inserting line break, backspace etc.
