OPERATORS & EXPRESSIONS IN C++

TYPE A : VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
1. What is the function of operators? What are arithmetic operators? Give their examples.
Ans. Operators represent specific operations. Arithmetic operators carry out arithmetic for C++. These are unary +,
unary -, +, -, *, / and %. For example, 4 + 2, 19 % 6, -a etc.
2. How is ‘unary +’ operator different from ‘+’ operator? How is ‘unary -’ operator different from ‘-’ operator?
Ans. A ‘unary +’ gives the value of its operand whereas ‘+’ operator gives sum of its operand’s value. A ‘unary –‘ changes
the sign of its operand’s value whereas ‘-‘ operator subtract the value of second operand from the value of first
operand.
3. What are binary operators? Give examples of arithmetic binary operators.
Ans. Operators that act upon two operands are referred to as binary Operators. The +, -, *, /, % etc are binary
arithmetic operators. For example, 4 + 20 results in 24, 3 * 4 evaluates to 12.

Explicit type conversion: An explicit type conversion is user-defined that forces an expression to be of specific type.
33. What is the process of type promotion? What is integral promotion?
Ans. In implicit conversion, all operands are converted up to the type of the largest operand, which is called type
promotion.
The conversion of integer types (i.e., char, short, enumerator, int) into int or unsigned int is called integral
promotion.

TYPE B : SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
1. What are arithmetic operators in C++? Distinguish between unary and binary arithmetic operators. Give
examples for each of them.
Ans. The operators which are performed arithmetic operations are called arithmetic operators.
Unary arithmetic operators Binary arithmetic operators
A unary operator requires a single operand. A binary operators requires two
operands. unary+, unary-, ++, --, sizeof etc. are unary operators. +, -, *, /, % etc. are binary
operators.
For example, if a=2 then +a means 2 For example, 2 + 5 results in 7
2. What is the function of increment/ decrement operator? How many varieties do they come in? How are
these two varieties different from one another?
Ans. The increment and decrement operators (++ and --) add 1 or subtract 1 from operand’s value. They come in
two forms: postfix and prefix.
Postfix version Prefix version
It uses the value of the operand and then changes it. It first changes its operand’s value and then uses it.
For example, a++ or a-- For example, ++a or --a
3. Evaluate a + = a + ++a if a = 20 initially.
Ans. Initially a = 20
a += a + ++a
= 20 + 21
= 63
4. What role do the relational operators play? How is relational operator == different from =?
Ans. Relational operators compare the values of their operands. If the comparison is true, the relational
expression results into the value 1 and to 0, if the comparison is false.
‘==’ Operator ‘=’ Operator
It is a testing operator. It is a assignment operator.
For example, value == 3 For example, value = 3
It returns 1 if the comparison is true otherwise returns It assigns 3 to value.
0.
5. Why should following operations be discouraged?
(i) comparisons between two floating point numbers.
(ii) comparisons between signed and unsigned numbers.
Ans. (i) Floating-point arithmetic is not as exact and accurate as the integer arithmetic is. For instance, 3 * 5 is exactly
15, but 3.25 * 5.25 is nearly equal to 17.06. The exact number resulting from 3.25 * 5.25 is 17.0625. Therefore,
after any calculation involving floating-point numbers, there may be a small residue error. Because of this error, the
equality and inequality comparisons on floating-point number should be avoided.
(ii) It is because if we compare a signed value with an unsigned value, the compiler will treat the signed value as
4
 unsigned. If the signed value is negative, it will be treated as an unsigned integer having the same bit pattern as the
signed value, and the result of the comparison will be arbitrary.
6. How are relational operators and logical operators related to one another?
Ans. The relational operator compares the values of their operands and logical operators connect the relationship among
values. For example, to check whether the age is more than 30 and experience is equal to 3 years following
expression is used: (age>30) && (expr=3)
Above code is a combination of relational and logical operators. Because logical AND operator (&&) has lower
precedence than the relational operator, parentheses are not used in above expression.
7. Illustrate with an example that the unary negation operator ! is useful as a test for zero.
Ans. The unary negation operator ! is useful as a test for zero. For example, the condition if (check == 0) can be written as
(!check). As unary negation operator negates the truth value of an expression, it will negates the value of the
expression (!check) and test whether the variable check is equal to 0 or not.
8. Evaluate the following expressions:
(i) x – y < z && y + z ? x || x – z <= y – x + z if x = 4, y = 7 and z = 10?
(ii) (y) && (y – z) || !(2y + z – x) if x = 13, y = 14 and z = 5
Ans. (i) (((x – y) < z) && ((y + z) > x)) || ((x – z) <= (y – (x + z))
(((4 – 7) < 10) && ((7 + 10) > 4)) || (((4 – 10) <= (7 – (4 + 10)))
((1) && (1)) || (0)
(1) || (0)
=1
The result is 1 i.e., true
(ii) (y) && (y – z) || !(2y + z – x)
((14) && (14 – 5)) || (!((2(14) + 5) – 13))
((14) && (9)) || (!(28+5)-13)
(1) || (0)
=0
The result is 0 i.e., false
9. State why are following expressions invalid?
(i) asm = 5100 || val<35
(ii) age > 70 && <90
(iii) income >= 5000 ||&& val <500
(iv) res! > 20 || x > 20.
Ans. (i) ‘asm’ is a keyword which cannot be used as a variable name.
(ii) There should be a variable name after && operator. (iii)
Both operator ‘||’ and ‘&&’ cannot be used together. (iv)
Both operator ‘!’ and ‘>’ cannot be used together.
10. What are unary, binary and ternary operators? Classify the operators you have learnt so far into these three
categories.
Ans. Unary operator: Operators that act on one operand are referred to as unary operators.
Binary operator: Operators that act upon two operands are referred to as binary operators.
Ternary operator: Operators that requires three operands are referred to as ternary operators.
Unary operator Binary operator Ternary operator
unary +, unary -, ++, --, sizeof +, -, *, /, % ?: (the conditional operator)
11. Under what condition do the mathematical function log(), log10() and pow() produce an error?
Ans. The mathematical function log(), log10() produce a domain error if argument is negative and a range error occurs if
the argument is zero. The function pow() produce a domain error if base = 0 and exp <= 0. Also if base < 0 and exp is
not integer.

to the arg power.
13. Describe the working of these mathematical functions:
(i) fabs() (ii) floor() (iii) fmod()
Ans. No. Function Prototype Description Example

num) absolute value of num. fabs(-1.0) gives 1.0
(ii) floor() double floor(double The floor() function returns the floor(1.03) gives 1.0
num) largest integer not greater than num. floor(-1.03) gives -2.0
(iii) fmod() double fmod(double The fmod() function returns the fmod(10.0,4.0) returns
x, double y) remainder of the division x/y. 2.0
14. What is meant by type conversion? How is implicit conversion different from explicit conversion?
Ans. The process of converting one predefined type into another is called Type conversion. An implicit conversion is a
conversion performed by the compiler without programmer’s intervention whereas, an explicit type conversion is
user-defined that forces an expression to be of specific type.
15. Write arithmetic type conversion rules for float types and int types.
Ans. 1. If either operand if float then, other is converted to float.
2. Otherwise, the integral promotions are performed on both operands.
3. If one operand is a long int and the other unsigned int, then if a long int can represent all the values of an
unsigned int, the unsigned int is converted to long int; otherwise both operands are converted to unsigned long
int.
4. Otherwise, both operands are int.

21. What are the potential problems in type conversions?
Ans. No. Conversion Potential Problems
1. Bigger floating-point type to smaller floating- Loss of precision. Original value may be out of range for
point type (e.g., double to float) target type, in which case result is undefined.
2. Floating-point type to integer type. Loss of fractional part. Original value may be out of range
for target type, in which case result is undefined.
3. Bigger integer type to smaller integer type Original value may be out of range for target type.
(e.g., long to short) Typically, just resulting in loss of information.
22. Why do you think type compatibility is required in assigning values?
Ans. When variable of one type are mixed with variables of another type, a type conversion will occur. In an assignment
statement, the type conversion rule states: The value of the right side of the assignment is converted to the type of
the left side. Therefore, the types of right side and left side of an assignment should be compatible so that type
conversion can take place. The compatible data types are mathematical data types i.e., char, int, float, double. For
example, the following statement
ch = x; (where ch is char and x is int)
converts the value of x i.e., integer to bit into ch, a character.
23. Discuss the possible info-loss in common type conversions.
Ans. Target Type Expression Type Possible Info Loss
signed char char If value > 127, target is negative
char short int High-order 8 bits
char int High-order 8 bits
char long int High-order 8 bits
int long int High-order 16 bits
int float Fractional part and possibly more
float double Precision, result rounded
double long double Precision, result rounded
24. Discuss the role and importance of C++ shorthand’s. Do you see any benefit from them?
Ans. C++ offers special shorthand’s to simplify a certain type of assignment statement. The general form of a C++
shorthand is var oper = expression
where var is the target variable, oper is a binary operator and expression is the expression that is to be operated to
the previous value of var. for example, x -= 2 means x = x - 2
C++ shorthand uses arithmetic assignment operators. One important and useful thing about such arithmetic
assignment operator is that they combine an arithmetic operator and assignment operator, and eliminate the
repeated operand thereby facilitate a condensed approach.
25. Discuss the function of conditional operator, sizeof operator and comma operator with examples.

7
Ans. The conditional operator: It requires three operands, that is, it is a ternary operator. Its general form is expr1?
expr2: expr3. It gives the value of expr2 if expr1 evaluates to true otherwise it gives the value of the expr3. For
example, 13<20? 1: 2 evaluates to 1.
The sizeof operator: Returns the size of a variable or a data-type. It can be used in two forms: sizeof var (where var
is a declared variable) and sizeof(type) (where type is a C++ data type. For example, sizeof(int) returns 2.
The comma operator: Strings together several expressions which are evaluated from left-to-right and the value of
the rightmost expression becomes the value of the total comma-separated expression. For example, y = (x=2, x-1);
first assign x the value 2 and the assigns y the value x-1 i.e., 1.
26. An expression uses arithmetic, relational and logical operators together. How would you determine the type
(arithmetic, logical) of the expression?
Ans. Type of operators used in an expression determines the expression type. If an expression uses arithmetic, relational
and logical operators together, we have to divide the expression in sub-expression and then decide the type of
expression for sub-expression.
27. Discuss the benefits and loopholes of type casting.
Ans. By type casting we can convert variable from one data type to another data
type, which give us advantage to manipulate variable as per our convenience.
There few loopholes in type casting which are as follow –
1. Assigning a value of larger data type to a smaller data type may result in losing some precision.
2. Conversion of bigger floating-point type to smaller floating-point type may result in loss of precision.
3. Conversion of floating-point type to integer type may result in loss of fractional part.
4. Conversion of bigger integer type to smaller integer type may result in loss of information. Original value may be
out of range for target type.

TYPE C : LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
1. Discuss all operators and their types (with examples) that you have learnt so far.
Ans. Operators are the symbols that represent specific operations.
1. Arithmetic Operators: Carry out arithmetic operations. (a)
Unary Operators: Operators that act on one operand.
(i) Unary +: Gives the value of its operand. For example, if a = 5 then +a means 5.
(ii) Unary -: Changes the sign of its operand’s value. For example, if a = 5 then +a means -5.
(b) Binary Operators: Operators that act upon two operands.
(i) Addition Operator (+): Gives sum of its operand’s value. For example, 4 + 20 results in 24.
(ii) Subtraction Operator (-): Subtracts the value of second operand from the value of its first operand.
For example, 14 – 3 evaluated to 11.
(iii) Multiplication Operator (*): Gives the product of its operands’ value. For example, 3 * 4 evaluates
to 12.
(iv) Division Operator (/): Divides the first operand by second. For example, 100/5 evaluates to 20.
(v) Modulus Operator (%): Gives the remainder after dividing first operand by second. For example, 19
% 6 evaluates to 1.
2. Increment/Decrement Operators (++, --): Add 1 or subtract 1 from operand’s value. The increment and
decrement operators come in two forms:
(i) Postfix version: First uses the value of the operand and then changes it. For example, a++, b—
(ii) Prefix version: First changes its operand’s value and then uses it. For example, ++a, --b
3. Relational Operators: Compare the values of their operands. These are <, >, <=, >=, == and != i.e., less than,
greater than, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, equal to and not equal to respectively. It returns
boolean truth or false value. For example, 6==5 returns false, 6>5 returns true.
4. Logical Operators: Connect the relationship among values.
(i) Logical OR (||): Evaluates to true if either of its operands evaluate to true. For example, (6<=6) || (5<3)
returns true.
(ii) Logical AND (&&): Evaluates to true if both of its operands evaluate to true. For example, (6<=6) || (5<3)
returns false.
(iii) Logical NOT(!): Negates the truth value of its operand. For example, !(6<=6) returns false.
5. Conditional Operator (?:): The general form of conditional operator is expr1? expr2: expr3. It gives the value of
expr2 if expr1 evaluates to true otherwise it gives the value of the expr3. For example, 6>4? 9: 7 evaluates to 9.
6. Some other Operators:
(a) The sizeof operator: Returns the size of a variable or a data-type. For example, sizeof(int) returns 2.
(b) The Comma operator: Strings together several expressions which are evaluated from left-to-right and the
value of the rightmost expression becomes the value of the total comma-separated expression. For example, b =
(a=3, a+1); first assign a the value 3 and the assigns b the value a+1 i.e., 4.
2. What types of expressions can be formed in C++? Discuss each one of them with examples.
11
Ans. Following types of expression can be formed in C++:
1. Arithmetic Expression: It can either be integer expression or real expression or mixed-mode expression.
(a) Integer expression: Combination of arithmetic operators, integer constants and/or integer variables. For
example,
const count = 30;
int I, J, K, X, Y, Z;
(i) I (ii) –J (iii) K + X – Y + count
(b) Real expression: Combination of arithmetic operators, real constants and/or real variables. For
example,
const bal = 250.53;
float qty, amount, value;
double fin, inter;
(i) qty/amount (ii)qty * value (iii) (amount + qty * value) - bal
(c) Mixed-mode expression: Combination of arithmetic operators, integer and/or real constants/variables.
2. Logical Expression: The expressions that results into 0 (false) or 1 (true) are called logical expressions. Logical
expressions make use of logical and relational operators. For example, x>y, (y+z)>=(x/z)
3. What is the function of type conversion? Write the standard conversion rules of C++.
Ans. The type conversion converts one predefined type into another. Following are the standard conversion rules of
C++:
1. If either operand is of type long double, the other is converted to long double.
2. Otherwise, if either operand is of type double, the other is converted to double.
3. Otherwise, if either operand is float, the other is converted to float.
4. Otherwise, the integral promotions are performed on both operands. The process of integral promotion is
described below:
A char, a short int, enumerator or an int may be used as an integer type. If an int can represent all the values of
the original type, the value is converted to int; otherwise it is converted to unsigned int. this process is called
integral promotion.
5. Then, if either operand is unsigned long., the other is converted to unsigned long.
6. Otherwise, if one operand is a long int and the other unsigned int, then if a long int can represent all the values
of an unsigned int, the unsigned int is converted to long int; otherwise both operands are converted to unsigned
long int.
7. Otherwise, if either operand is long, the other is converted to long.
8. Otherwise, if either operand is unsigned, the other is converted to unsigned.
9. Otherwise, both operands are int.
4. Discuss the role of assignment operator = in variable initialization and C++ shorthands. Support your answer
with examples.
Ans. An assignment statement assigns value to a variable. The general form of an assignment is as below:
a = cve;
where a is the target variable and cve either be a constant or variable or an expression.
The symbol “=” is called the assignment operator. The assignment operator = returns the value of the assignment
as well as actually assigning the value to the left hand operand. Because of that, assignment can be chained
together. This can be useful when assigning the same value to a number of items, for example,
X= Y= Z= 13;
This statement assigns the value 13 to X, Y, and Z.
C++ offers special shorthands to simplify a certain type of assignment statement. The general form of a C++
shorthand is
var oper = expression
where var is the target variable, oper is a binary operator and expression is the expression that is to be operated to
the previous value of var. for example,
c* = 10 means c = c * 10
and d/ = 2 means d = d / 2
