Hierarchy of Operations

The preference in which arithematic operations are performed in an arithematic expression is called as Hierarchy of operations.
Its very important in C Programming to predefine the Hierarchy of operations to the C compiler in order to solve the given arithematic expression correctly.
e.g.: If a programmer wishes to perform ,z=a+b/c;it may be interpretted as z=(a+b)/c or z=a+(b/c).
and if a=3,b=6,c=2 then using the same expression we will obtain two different answwers as z=4.5 or z=6.
To avoid this condition we must be aware of hierarchy of operations used in C programming.
In arithematic expressions scanning is always done from left to right.
The priority of operations is as shown below,
Priority Operators
First Paranthesis os brackets()
Second Multiplication & Divison
Third Addition & Substraction
Fourth Assignment i.e.=


If we consider the logical operators used in C language,the operator precedence will be like;


Operators Type
! Logical NOT
* / % Arithmetic and moulus
+ - Aritmetic
Relational
== !=Relational
&&Logical AND
||Logical OR
=Assignment


In the tables above,the higher the position of an operator,higher is its priority.

Note - Please let me know whether the process is working for you or if you are getting some kind of error. Step 1) Install the software DOSBOX version 0.73(Search for it in the search bar). Step 2) Create a folder on your C drive, e.g.Turbo; (c:\Turbo\) Step 3) Extract TC into the created folder(e.g. c:\Turbo\);(you can search and download it) Step 4) Run the application DOSBOX 0.73,previously downloaded and installed. Step 5) Type the following commands at the command prompt that will appear, [z]: mount d c:\Turbo\ Following this you will get a message "Drive D is mounted as local directory c:\Turbo\" Step 6) Type d: to shift to d: Step 7) Then type commands mentioned below; cd tc cd bin tc or tc.exe Step 8) In the turbo C++ go to Options\Directories\ Chang

Calculating the average of two numbers using C++

Though this site aims at understanding C language, I am writing a program for you in C++, to have a general idea about C++ too. A program in C++,to calculate the average of two numbers, which are entered by the keyboard while the execution of the program. Try to understand the program; #include &lt iostream &gt using namespace std; int main() {     float num1,num2,average,sum;     cout << "Enter the first number:";     cin >> num1;     cout << "Enter the second number:";     cin >> num2;     sum=num1+num2;     average=sum/2;     cout << "The sum of the two numbers is:"<< sum<<"\n"<<"The average of the two numbers is:" << average; return(0); } Explaination: The new file header used here in this C++ program is the #include . By this , we are asking the preprocessor to add the contents of the iostream file to our program. The program is written in the

Finding the arithmetic operators

Below is a very simple program to find the arithmetic operator. Please feel free to put a comment if need an explanation. #include #include void main()   {     float a1,a2;     char operator;     printf("\n Enter the values of a1 operator a2\n");     scanf("%f%c%f",&a1,&operator,&a2);     switch(operator)      { case '+': printf("%.2f",a1+a2); break; case '-':  printf("%.2f",a1-a2);  break; case '*':  printf("%.2f",a1*a2); break; case '/':  if(a2==0)  printf("error\n");  else  printf("%.2f",a1/a2);  break; default: printf("unknown operatotr\n"); break;      }    }
