Arithmetic

Arithmetic Operators

C supports the standard arithmetic operators:

Spock calculating warp field equations: precise arithmetic is critical when lives are at stake.

Integer Arithmetic

When both operands are integers, the result is an integer. Division truncates toward zero:

int a = 17;
int b = 5;
printf("%d\n", a / b);   // 3 (not 3.4)
printf("%d\n", a % b);   // 2 (remainder)

Operator Precedence

C follows standard mathematical precedence: *, /, % are evaluated before +, -. Use parentheses to override:

int result = 2 + 3 * 4;    // 14, not 20
int other = (2 + 3) * 4;   // 20

Type Casting

You can convert between types using a cast:

int a = 7;
int b = 2;
printf("%d\n", a / b);  // 3 (integer division)

Your Task

Given a = 17 and b = 5, print the results of addition, subtraction, multiplication, integer division, and modulus, each on a separate line.
