Arithmetic Operations
⚫ FIVE basic operations:
• Addition (+) → Sum of two numbers
• Subtraction (-) → Different of two numbers
• Multiplication (*) → Product of two numbers
• Division (/) → Quotient of two numbers
• Modulo (%) → Remainder of division operation

March 17, 2024 CSC425 : INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER 25

PROGRAMMING
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)

⚫ Examples
int number1, number2;
int sum, different, product, quotient,
reminder;
number1 = 8;
number2 = 4;

sum = number1 + number2;

different = number1 - number2;
product = number1 * number2;
quotient = number1 / number2;
remainder = number1 % number2;
March 17, 2024 CSC425 : INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER 26
PROGRAMMING
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)

⚫ Integer Division

IF two integers are divided, the result will be an integer

number. Any fraction will be truncated.
int / int → int
Example:

int a = 5, b = 2;
float c;
c = a / b; //the new value of c is 2

cout << a / b; //2 will be displayed

March 17, 2024 CSC425 : INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER 27

PROGRAMMING
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)
⚫ Data type conversion

To avoid the effect of integer division the data type must

be converted to float.
Example:

int a = 5, b = 2,
float c;
c = float(a) / b; //the new value of c is 2.5
c = a / float(b); //the new value of c is 2.5

//2.5 will be displayed

cout << float(a) / b;
cout << a / float(b);

c = float(a / b); //2.0 will be stored in c

cout << float (a / b); //2.0 will be displayed

PROGRAMMING
Arithmetic Operations (cont.)

⚫ Type Conversion (Casting)

- store a value into a variable of a different type
- example : if you want to store a double value into an int
variable
- expressed using static_cast keyword as follows :

static_cast<data_type>(expression)

- example :
int n = static_cast<int>(x + 0.5)
(see Exercise 12)
