Assignment Operators
Operator | Example | Is The Same As |
---|---|---|
= | x=y | x=y |
+= | x+=y | x=x+y |
-= | x-=y | x=x-y |
*= | x*=y | x=x*y |
/= | x/=y | x=x/y |
%= | x%=y | x=x%y |
Comparison Operators
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
== | is equal to | 5==8 returns false |
!= | is not equal | 5!=8 returns true |
> | is greater than | 5>8 returns false |
< | is less than | 5<8 returns true |
>= | is greater than or equal to | 5>=8 returns false |
<= | is less than or equal to | 5<=8 returns true |
Logical Operators
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
&& | and | x=6 y=3 (x < 10 && y > 1) returns true |
|| | or | x=6 y=3 (x==5 || y==5) returns false |
! | not | x=6 y=3 !(x==y) returns true |
String Operator
A string is most often text, for example “Hello World!”. To stick two or more string variables together, use the + operator.
txt1=”What a very” txt2=”nice day!” txt3=txt1+txt2 |
The variable txt3 now contains “What a verynice day!”.
To add a space between two string variables, insert a space into the expression, OR in one of the strings.
txt1=”What a very” txt2=”nice day!” txt3=txt1+” “+txt2ortxt1=”What a very ” txt2=”nice day!” txt3=txt1+txt2 |
The variable txt3 now contains “What a very nice day!”.
