Arithmetic and Logical Operators in Programming

Arithmetic and logical operators do different jobs in programming.

Arithmetic Operators

• What They Do: They help us do math.
• Common Operators:
  • Addition (+)
  • Subtraction (−)
  • Multiplication (×)
  • Division (÷)
  • Modulus (%)
• Examples:
  • 3 + 4 = 7
  • 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Logical Operators

• What They Do: They help us check if statements are true or false.
• Common Operators:
  • AND
  • OR
  • NOT
• Examples:
  • True AND False = False
  • True OR False = True

Key Differences

• What They Show:

  • Arithmetic gives us numbers.
  • Logical gives us true or false answers.

• When to Use Them:

  • Use arithmetic for math problems.
  • Use logical for making decisions and controlling what happens next in a program.
