Javascript Arithmetic Operators

JavaScript has several types of operators for performing arithmetic, assigning values, comparing values, and conditional logic. Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %) perform math operations. Assignment operators (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=) are used to assign values. Comparison operators (==, ===, !=, >, <, >=, <=) compare equality and difference. Logical operators (&&, ||, !) determine logical conditions between values. The conditional operator (? :) assigns a value based on a condition.

JavaScript Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic between variables and/or values.

Given that y=5, the table below explains the arithmetic operators:

Operator Description Example Result


+ Addition x=y+2 x=7 y=5
- Subtraction x=y-2 x=3 y=5
* Multiplication x=y*2 x=10 y=5
/ Division x=y/2 x=2.5 y=5
% Modulus (division remainder) x=y%2 x=1 y=5
++ Increment x=++y x=6 y=6
x=y++ x=5 y=6
-- Decrement x=--y x=4 y=4
x=y-- x=5 y=4

JavaScript Assignment Operators


Assignment operators are used to assign values to JavaScript variables.

Given that x=10 and y=5, the table below explains the assignment operators:

Operator Example Same As Result


= x=y x=5
+= x+=y x=x+y x=15
-= x-=y x=x-y x=5
*= x*=y x=x*y x=50
/= x/=y x=x/y x=2
%= x%=y x=x%y x=0

The + Operator Used on Strings


The + operator can also be used to add string variables or text values together.

To add two or more string variables together, use the + operator.

txt1="What a very";
txt2="nice day";
txt3=txt1+txt2;

After the execution of the statements above, the variable txt3 contains "What a verynice day".
To add a space between the two strings, insert a space into one of the strings:

txt1="What a very ";


txt2="nice day";
txt3=txt1+txt2;

or insert a space into the expression:

txt1="What a very";
txt2="nice day";
txt3=txt1+" "+txt2;

After the execution of the statements above, the variable txt3 contains:

"What a very nice day"

Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used in logical statements to determine equality or difference
between variables or values.

Given that x=5, the table below explains the comparison operators:

Operator Description Example


== is equal to x==8 is false
x==5 is true
=== is exactly equal to (value and type) x===5 is true
x==="5" is false
!= is not equal x!=8 is true
> is greater than x>8 is false
< is less than x<8 is true
>= is greater than or equal to x>=8 is false
<= is less than or equal to x<=8 is true

Logical Operators
Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values.

Given that x=6 and y=3, the table below explains the logical operators:

Operator Description Example


&& and (x < 10 && y > 1) is true
|| or (x==5 || y==5) is false
! not !(x==y) is true

Conditional Operator
JavaScript also contains a conditional operator that assigns a value to a variable based on
some condition.

Syntax
variablename=(condition)?value1:value2

Example
greeting=(visitor=="PRES")?"Dear President ":"Dear ";

If the variable visitor has the value of "PRES", then the variable greeting will be assigned the
value "Dear President " else it will be assigned "Dear".
