How are operators organized in memory
How are operators organized/saved in the memory in context of a programming language. Are they procedures/functions saved somewhere and compilers just manipulate things to call these procs whenever the operators are used in the program?

What are the options for setting up a UNIX environment to learn C using Kernighan and Richie’s The C Programming Language?
