I wanted to try to make something similar to [this](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/283268/283277#answer-283277), but with whatever Python has that C doesn't, I couldn't do so.

Instead, I chose to make a function that implements 5 operations. It works differently from the others, but it's all I could do.

Ungolfed form of the function with comments:

```c
int f(int num, char operator){ // Assign a function with 2 parameters: a number and character for operations
	int x, result = 0; // Assign 2 integers: the succeeding number and the base
	if(operator == '*' || operator == '/'){result = 1;} // Check if the character resembles multiplication or division; if so, set base as 1
	for(x = 1; x <= num; x++){ // Start a loop to prompt the calculation that satisfies the challenge
		if(b==43){result+=x;} // Addition
		if(b==45){result-=x;} // Subtraction
		if(b==42){result*=x;} // Multiplication
		if(b==47){result/=x;} // Division
		if(b==94){result^=x;} // XOR
