Can I cycle through operators in C?

Can I cycle through operators in C?

A friend of mine who is learning to program asked me the following:

""" How do i cycle through operators in c? If I want to try every version of + - / on an equation, so printf("1 %operator 1", oneOfTheOperators); Like I'd stick them in an array and iterate over the array incrementing on each iteration, but do you define an operator as? They aren't ints, floats etc """*

He's certainly on the way to the correct answer already. There are three key barriers to an answer.
