Introduction
Operator is defined as a symbol that operates the variables
and constants to produce a required result.

Arithmetic operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic
calculations such as addition and subtraction.
VB.NET supported arithmetic are listed in the given table.
www.ustudy.in
Example:
Operator Purpose Output
Let a=10
+ Addition b=a+5 55
- Subtraction c=a–5 45
* Multiplication d = a * 10 500
/ Division e=a/6 8.33
Division (integer
\ part only given as f=a\6 8
output)
Modulas
MOD (Remainder after g = a mod 7 1
division)
^ Power h = a^2 2500
= Assignment m = 100

Comparison operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two or more
values.
VB.NET supported comparison operators are listed in the
following table.
www.ustudy.in
Example:
Operator Purpose Output
Let a=50
Check if a value is Dim b As Boolean
= FALSE
equal to another b=(a=55)
Check if a value is
<> b=(a<>55) TRUE
not equal to another
Check if a value is
> b=(a>100) FALSE
greater than another
Check if a value is
< b=(a<100) TRUE
less than another
Check if a value is
>= greater than or b=(a>=50) TRUE
equal to another
Check if a value is
<= less than or equal to b=(a<=75) TRUE
another
Check if a string Dim P As string
LIKE matches a given P=“Good” FALSE
pattern b=(“God” LIKE P)
Check if two object
IS references refer to a
www.ustudy.in same object.
Logical operators
Logical operators are used to perform logical operations such
as AND, OR, NOT on one or more expressions.
www.ustudy.in
AND
This operator is used as a conjunction of two conditions. The
result of the AND operation is True only if both the conditions
are true.
Syntax:
Result = Expression1 AND Expression2
www.ustudy.in
Result of AND operation table
Expression 1 Expression 2 Result
TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE FALSE
FALSE TRUE FALSE
FALSE FALSE FALSE
www.ustudy.in
Example of AND Operator
Dim a, b, c As Integer
Dim d As Boolean
a = 10
b = 20
c = 30
d = (a<b) AND (b<c) „Returns True‟
d = (a>b) AND (b<c) „Returns False‟
www.ustudy.in
OR
This operator is used as a disjunction of two conditions. The
result of the OR operator is false only if both the conditions are
false.
Syntax:
Result = Expression1 OR Expression2
www.ustudy.in
Result of OR operation table
Expression 1 Expression 2 Result
TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE TRUE
FALSE TRUE TRUE
FALSE FALSE FALSE
www.ustudy.in
Example of OR Operator
Dim a, b, c As Integer
Dim d As Boolean
a = 10
b = 20
c = 30
d = (a<b) OR (b>c) „Returns True‟
d = (a>b) OR (b>c) „Returns False‟
www.ustudy.in
XOR
The result this operator is True only if one of the conditions is
true and other is false.
Syntax:
Result = Expression1 XOR Expression2
www.ustudy.in
Result of XOR operation table
Expression 1 Expression 2 Result
TRUE TRUE FALSE
TRUE FALSE TRUE
FALSE TRUE TRUE
FALSE FALSE FALSE
www.ustudy.in
Example of XOR Operator
Dim a, b, c As Integer
Dim d As Boolean
a = 10
b = 20
c = 30
d = (a<b) XOR (b<c) „Returns False‟
d = (a>b) XOR (b<c) „Returns True‟
www.ustudy.in
NOT
This logical operator is used to perform a logical negation on
a boolean expression.
Syntax:
Result = NOT (boolean Expression)
www.ustudy.in
Result of NOT operation table
Boolean Expression Result
TRUE FALSE
FALSE TRUE
www.ustudy.in
Example of XOR Operator
Dim a, b, c As Integer
Dim d As Boolean
a = 10
b = 20
c = NOT (a>b) „Returns True‟
c = NOT (a<b) „Returns False‟
www.ustudy.in
AndAlso
This operator is same as AND operator but if the first condition
is false then the second condition is not checked and the
result is false.
Syntax:
Result = Expression 1 AndAlso Expression2
www.ustudy.in
OrElse
This operator is same as OR operator but if the first condition
is true then the second condition is not checked and the result
is True.
Syntax:
Result = Expression 1 OrElse Expression2
www.ustudy.in
Concatenation operators
Concatenation operators are used to join two string values.
& and + are the two concatenation operators available in
VB.NET.
The operator & is used to concatenate two strings and + is
used to add two numbers and concatenate two strings.
www.ustudy.in
Example of concatenation operators
MsgBox(“Good” & “Night”) „Returns GoodNight‟
MsgBox(“Good” + “Night”) „Returns GoodNight‟
MsgBox(“22” & “33”) „Returns 2233‟
MsgBox(“22” + “33”) „Returns 2233‟
MsgBox(22 + 33) „Returns 55‟
