vaScript Operators

Javascript operators are used to perform different types of mathematical and


logical computations.

Examples:

The Assignment Operator = assigns values

The Addition Operator + adds values

The Multiplication Operator * multiplies values

The Comparison Operator > compares values

JavaScript Assignment

The Assignment Operator (=) assigns a value to a variable:

Assignment Examples

let x = 10;

// Assign the value 5 to x

let x = 5;

// Assign the value 2 to y

let y = 2;

// Assign the value x + y to z:


let z = x + y;

JavaScript Addition

The Addition Operator (+) adds numbers:

Adding

let x = 5;

let y = 2;

let z = x + y;

JavaScript Multiplication

The Multiplication Operator (*) multiplies numbers:

Multiplying

let x = 5;

let y = 2;

let z = x * y;

Types of JavaScript Operators

There are different types of JavaScript operators:

Arithmetic Operators

Assignment Operators

Comparison Operators

String Operators

Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators

Ternary Operators

Type Operators

JavaScript Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic Operators are used to perform arithmetic on numbers:

Arithmetic Operators Example

let a = 3;

let x = (100 + 50) * a;

Operator Description

+ Addition

- Subtraction

* Multiplication

** Exponentiation (ES2016)

/ Division

% Modulus (Division Remainder)

++ Increment

-- Decrement

Note

Arithmetic operators are fully described in the JS Arithmetic chapter.

JavaScript Assignment Operators

Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.

The Addition Assignment Operator (+=) adds a value to a variable.

Assignment

let x = 10;

x += 5;

Operator Example 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 %= yx = x % y

**= x **= y x = x ** y

Note

Assignment operators are fully described in the JS Assignment chapter.

JavaScript Comparison Operators

Operator Description

== equal to

=== equal value and equal type


!= not equal

!== not equal value or not equal type

> greater than

< less than

>= greater than or equal to

<= less than or equal to

? ternary operator

Note

Comparison operators are fully described in the JS Comparisons chapter.

JavaScript String Comparison

All the comparison operators above can also be used on strings:

Example

let text1 = "A";

let text2 = "B";

let result = text1 < text2;

Note that strings are compared alphabetically:

Example

let text1 = "20";

let text2 = "5";

let result = text1 < text2;


JavaScript String Addition

The + can also be used to add (concatenate) strings:

Example

let text1 = "John";

let text2 = "Doe";

let text3 = text1 + " " + text2;

The += assignment operator can also be used to add (concatenate) strings:

Example

let text1 = "What a very ";

text1 += "nice day";

The result of text1 will be:

What a very nice day

Note

When used on strings, the + operator is called the concatenation operator.

Adding Strings and Numbers

Adding two numbers, will return the sum, but adding a number and a string
will return a string:
