JavaScript Operators

What is an operator?
Operators are used to assign values, compare values, perform arithmetic operations, and more.

Let us take a simple expression 4 + 5 is equal to 9. Here 4 and 5 are called operands and ‘+’ is called
the operator. JavaScript supports the following types of operators.

 Arithmetic Operators
 Comparison Operators
 Logical or Relational Operators
 Assignment Operators

Arithmetic Operators:
In JavaScript, arithmetic operators are symbols or functions that allow you to perform basic
mathematical operations on numeric values.

1 + Addition

Adds two operands

Ex: A + B will give 30

2 – Subtraction

Subtracts the second operand from the first

Ex: A - B will give -10

3 * Multiplication

Multiply both operands

Ex: A * B will give 200

4. / Division

Divide the numerator by the denominator

Ex: B / A will give 2

5 % Modulus

Outputs the remainder of an integer division

Ex: B % A will give 0


6. ++ Increment

Increases an integer value by one

Ex: A++ will give 11

7 -- Decrement

Decreases an integer value by one

Ex: A-- will give 9

Note − Addition operator + works for Numeric as well as Strings. e.g. "a" + 10
will give "a10".

Comparison Operators:
Comparison operators in JavaScript are used to compare values and determine the relationship
between them. They return a Boolean value (true or false) based on whether the comparison is true
or false.

Assume variable A holds 12 and variable B holds 20, then –

1 = = Equal

Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if yes, then the condition becomes true.

Ex: A == B is not true.

2 != Not Equal

Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if the values are not equal, then the condition
becomes true.

Ex: A! = B is true.

3 > Greater than

Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand, if yes, then the
condition becomes true.

Ex: A > B is not true.


4 < Lessthan

Checks if the value of the left operand is less than the value of the right operand, if yes, then the
condition becomes true.

Ex: A < B is true.

5 >= GreaterthanorEqualto

Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to the value of the right operand, if
yes, then the condition becomes true.

Ex: A >= B is not true.

6 <= LessthanorEqualto

Checks if the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the value of the right operand, if yes,
then the condition becomes true.

Ex: A <= B is true.

Logical Operators:
1 && LogicalAND

If both the operands are true, then the condition becomes true.

Ex: A && B is true.

True, true = true

True , false = false

False, true = false

False , false = false

2 || LogicalOR

If any of the two operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.

Ex: A | | B is true.

True , true = true

False , true = true

True , false = true

False , false
3 ! LogicalNOT

Reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then the Logical NOT operator will
make it false.

Ex: ! A && B is false.

Assignment Operators:
1 = SimpleAssignment

Assigns values from the right side operand to the left side operand

Ex: C = A + B will assign the value of A + B into C

2 += AddandAssignment

It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: C += A is equivalent to C = C + A

3 −= SubtractandAssignment

It subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: C -= A is equivalent to C = C – A

4 *= MultiplyandAssignment

It multiplies the right operand with the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A

5 /= DivideandAssignment

It divides the left operand with the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A

6 %= ModulesandAssignment

It takes modulus using two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.
Ex: C %= A is equivalent to C = C % A
