Programming languages typically support a set of operators: constructs which behave generally like functions, but which differ syntactically or semantically from usual functions. Common simple examples include arithmetic (addition with +), comparison (with >), and logical operations (such as AND or &&). More involved examples include assignment (usually = or :
, field access in a record or object (usually .), and the scope resolution operator (often ::). Languages usually define a set of built-in operators, and in some cases allow user-defined operators.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Operator (computer programming)
In computer programming, operators are constructs defined within programming languages which behave generally like functions, but which differ syntactically or semantically.
Common simple examples include arithmetic (e.g. addition with
+), comparison (e.g. "greater than" with>), and logical operations (e.g.AND, also written&&in some languages). More involved examples include assignment (usually=or:=), field access in a record or object (usually.), and the scope resolution operator (often::or.). Languages usually define a set of built-in operators, and in some cases allow users to add new meanings to existing operators or even define completely new operators.
