The pre-increment and pre-decrement operators increment (or decrement) their operand by 1, and the value of the expression is the resulting incremented (or decremented) value. The post -increment and post -decrement operators increase (or decrease) the value of their operand by 1, but the value of the expression is the operand's value prior to ...
This is a list of operators in the C and C++ programming languages.. All listed operators are in C++ and lacking indication otherwise, in C as well. Some tables include a "In C" column that indicates whether an operator is also in C. Note that C does not support operator overloading.
Recently, there was a revert to remove the Label Value Operator && from the list of C/C++ operators. While it is true that the operator is not at all standard ISO C/C++, it is a non-standard extension to some dialects, one of which is documented here. This raises the question of whether or not there should be a seperate table for operators ...
The correct number of sections for a fence is n − 1 if the fence is a free-standing line segment bounded by a post at each of its ends (e.g., a fence between two passageway gaps), n if the fence forms one complete, free-standing loop (e.g., enclosure accessible by surmounting, such as a boxing ring), or n + 1 if posts do not occur at the ends ...
The scope resolution and element access operators (as in Foo::Bar and a.b, respectively) operate on identifier names; not values. In C, for instance, the array indexing operator can be used for both read access as well as assignment. In the following example, the increment operator reads the element value of an array and then assigns the ...
Augmented assignment (or compound assignment) is the name given to certain assignment operators in certain programming languages (especially those derived from C).An augmented assignment is generally used to replace a statement where an operator takes a variable as one of its arguments and then assigns the result back to the same variable.
For example, adding 1 to a pointer to 4-byte integer values will increment the pointer's pointed-to byte-address by 4. This has the effect of incrementing the pointer to point at the next element in a contiguous array of integers—which is often the intended result.
The article states that the "increment operator increases the value of its operand by 1", but this is only sometimes correct, and misses the point of the operator. The operator actually increases the value by an amount that reflects the number of machine words required to store the data.
