Comments in C

Comments in C language are used to provide information about lines of code. It is widely used for
documenting code. There are two types of comments in the C language.

1. Single Line Comments


2. Multi-Line Comments

Single Line Comments:

Single line comments are represented by double slash //. Let's see an example of a single line
comment in C.

1. #include<stdio.h>
2. int main(){
3. //printing information
4. printf("Hello C");
5. return 0;
6. }
Output:

Hello C

Even you can place the comment after the statement. For example:

printf("Hello C");//printing information

Mult Line Comments:

Multi-Line comments are represented by slash asterisk \* ... *\. It can occupy many lines of code,
but it can't be nested. Syntax:

/*
code
to be commented
*/

Let's see an example of a multi-Line comment in C.

1. #include<stdio.h>
2. int main(){
3. /*printing information
4. Multi-Line Comment*/
5. printf("Hello C");
6. return 0;
7. }

Output:Hello C

Operators
Operators are symbols which are used to operate on operands to perform some action.
OR
Operator are word or symbols that cause a program to do something to variables.

The expression is the combination of operand and operator where operand may be constant or
variable.
Basic operators are +, -, *, /.

Types of Operators
The following are the some of the types of operators.
➢ Arithmetic Operator
➢ Relational Operator
➢ Logical Operator

Arithmetic Operator:
An arithmetic operator performs mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division etc. on numerical values (constants and variables).

Operator Meaning of Operator Example

+ Addition (Adds two operands) A + B = 30

Subtraction (Subtracts second operand from the A − B = 10


-
first)

A * B =
* Multiplication (Multiplies both operands.)
200

/ Division (Divides numerator by DE-numerator) B/A=2

Remainder after division (Modulus Operator and B%A=0


%
remainder of after an integer division)

++ Increment operator increases the integer value by A++ = 11


one.

-- Decrement operator decreases the integer value A-- = 9


by one.
Relational Operators:

A relational operator checks the relationship between two operands. If the relation is true, it returns
1; if the relation is false, it returns value 0.

Relational operators are used in decision making and loops.

Operator Meaning of Operator Example

== Equal to 5 == 3 is evaluated to 0

> Greater than 5 > 3 is evaluated to 1

< Less than 5 < 3 is evaluated to 0

!= Not equal to 5 != 3 is evaluated to 1

>= Greater than or equal to 5 >= 3 is evaluated to 1

<= Less than or equal to 5 <= 3 is evaluated to 0

Logical Operators:

An expression containing logical operator returns either 0 or 1 depending upon whether expression
results true or false. Logical operators are commonly used in decision making in C programming.

Operator Meaning Example

Logical AND. True If c = 5 and d = 2 then,


&& only if all operands are expression ((c==5) &&
true (d>5)) equals to 0.

Logical OR. True only If c = 5 and d = 2 then,


|| if either one operand is expression ((c==5) ||
true (d>5)) equals to 1.

Logical NOT. True


only if the operand is 0 If c = 5 then,
! (Change result from expression !(c==5) equals
true to false or from to 0.
false to true).
