variable and another variable: int x = 10;
x += 5;
int sum1 = 100 + 50; // 150 (100 + 50)
int sum2 = sum1 + 250; // 400 (150 + 250)
int sum3 = sum2 + sum2; // 800 (400 + 400) A list of all assignment operators:
OPERATOR Example Same As
C++ divides the operators into the following groups:
● Arithmetic operators = x=5 x=5
● Assignment operators += x += 3 x=x+3
● Comparison operators
● Logical operators -= x -= 3 x=x-3
● Bitwise operators *= x *= 3 x=x*3
/= x /= 3 x=x/3
Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform %= x %= 3 x=x%3
common mathematical operations.
&= x &= 3 x=x&3
|= x |= 3 x=x|3
OPERATOR Name Description Example
^= x ^= 3 x=x^3
+ Addition Adds together two x+y
values
>>= x >>= 3 x = x >> 3
- Subtraction Subtracts one x-y
value from another <<= x <<= 3 x = x << 3

VII. User Input
Assignment Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two
values. Note: The return value of a comparison is either
true (1) or false (0). In the following example, we use the
greater than operator (>) to find out if 5 is greater than 3:
int x = 5;
int y = 3;
cout << (x > y); // returns 1 (true) because 5 is greater
than 3
A list of all comparison operators:
OPERATOR Name Example
== Equal to x == y
!= Not equal x != y
> Greater than x>y
< Less than x<y
>= Greater than or equal x >= y
to
<= Less than or equal to x <= y
Logical Operators
Logical operators are used to determine the
logic between variables or values:
OPERATOR Name Description Example
&& Logical Returns true x < 5 && x < 10
and if both
statements
are true
|| Logical Returns true x < 5 || x < 10
or if one of the
statements
is true
! Logical Reverse the !(x < 5 && x < 10)
not result,
returns false
if the result
is true
