Operators

Operators are symbols that tell the program it must perform a specific operation on data.

Arithmetic Operators

They are used for mathematical calculations:

• + (Addition): 5 + 3 = 8
• - (Subtraction): 7 - 4 = 3
• * (Multiplication): 3 * 4 = 12
• / (Division): 12 / 4 = 3
• % (Modulo - division remainder): 13 % 4 = 1
• ++ (Increment): i++ increases by 1.
• -- (Decrement): j-- decreases by 1.

Comparison Operators

They return a boolean value (true or false):

• == (Equality): a == b
• != (Inequality): a != b
• > (Greater than): a > b
• < (Less than): a < b
• >= (Greater than or equal): a >= b
• <= (Less than or equal): a <= b

Logical Operators

They are used to combine boolean expressions:

• && (AND): True if both are true.
• || (OR): True if at least one is true.
• ! (NOT): Negates the value (changes true to false and vice versa).

Assignment Operators

• = (Simple assignment): x = 10
• +=: x += 3 is the same as x = x + 3
• -=: x -= 4
• *=: x *= 5
• /=: x /= 2
• %=: x %= 3
