Program to add two numbers without using plus operator in c

Posted by Harris on September 22, 2010 in C · 0 Comment

I will explain three methods to add 2 number without using plus operator:

1. Using pointer
2. Using minus operator
3. Using bitwise operator

Method 1:

Here we use pointers to add two number

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int num1,num2,sum;
printf("\nEnter 1st number for addition:");
scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("\nEnter 2nd number for addition:");
scanf("%d",&num2);
char *p;
p=(char *)num1;
sum= (int)&p[num2]; //sum of num1 and num2
printf("\nSum of %d and %d is %d",num1,num2,sum);
getch();
return 0;
}

Explanation:

This one is very tricky and interesting, here we are adding two number through
pointer.
As we already know array
A[10] can also be written as *(A+10)

Similarly p[num2] can be written as *(p + num2)

Also & is address of operator and * is value at address operator

So if i is int like int i;
i = &*i
as address of operator and value at operator nullify each other
similarly
p[num2] = *(p + num2)
&p[num2] = &*(p + num2) =(p +num2)
As p is pointing to num1 so we can also write (p+num2) as (num1 + num2). Thus
the result would be num1+num2.

Method 2:

Here we use minus operator to add two number

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int num1,num2,sum;
printf("\nEnter 1st number for addition:");
scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("\nEnter 2nd number for addition:");
scanf("%d",&num2);
sum=num1-(-num2);
printf("\nSum of %d and %d is %d",num1,num2,sum);
getch();
return 0;
}

Explaination:

sum=num1-(-num2);
As we know minus * minus = plus. Thus the result would be num1+num2.

Method 3:

Here we use bitwise operator to add two number

//with bitwise operators:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int add(int a, int b) {
int x,y;
do {
x = a & b;
y= a ^ b;
a = x << 1;
 b = y;
} while (x);
return y;
}
int main()
{
int num1,num2,sum;
printf("\nEnter 1st number for addition:");
scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("\nEnter 2nd number for addition:");
scanf("%d",&num2);
sum=add(num1,num2);
printf("\nSum of %d and %d is %d",num1,num2,sum);
getch();
return 0;
}
