Blog Post: Navigating Operators in C#

Operators in C# are symbols that perform operations on variables and values. They allow developers to manipulate data, make comparisons, and control the flow of their programs. In this post, we’ll delve into some common operators in C# and understand how they contribute to the functionality of our code.

Arithmetic Operators:

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations. Here are some examples:

int x = 10;
int y = 5;

int sum = x + y;        // Addition
int difference = x - y; // Subtraction
int product = x * y;     // Multiplication
int quotient = x / y;    // Division
int remainder = x % y;   // Modulus (remainder)

Comparison Operators:

Comparison operators are used to compare values and return a Boolean result. Examples include:

int a = 10;
int b = 20;

bool isEqual = a == b;   // Equality check
bool isNotEqual = a != b;// Inequality check
bool isGreaterThan = a > b; // Greater than
bool isLessThan = a < b;  // Less than

Logical Operators:

Logical operators perform logical operations on Boolean values. Here’s a brief example:

bool condition1 = true;
bool condition2 = false;

bool andResult = condition1 && condition2; // Logical AND
bool orResult = condition1 || condition2;  // Logical OR
bool notResult = !condition1;               // Logical NOT

Assignment Operators:

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. Example:

int variable = 10;
variable += 5;  // Equivalent to variable = variable + 5;

Conclusion:

Operators are essential for performing a wide range of operations in C#. As you experiment with these operators, you’ll gain a better understanding of how to manipulate data and make decisions in your programs. In the next post, we’ll explore type conversion and how to seamlessly convert data between different types.
