• Subtraction (-) → Different of two numbers
• Multiplication (*) → Product of two numbers
• Division (/) → Quotient of two numbers

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

⚫ Invalid Statement!
number1 + number2 = total
March 17, 2024 CSC425 : INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER 29
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)
