Arithmetic Operator

These operators perform necessary arithmetic operations on the operands. These computations include all the operations that are defined in the table below.

Let x and y be two operands

Operator	Operation	Expression	Description
+	Addition	a+b	Returns sum of a & b
-	Subtraction	a-b	Returns difference of a&b
/	Division	a/b	Returns quotient of a&b
*	Multiplication	a*b	Returns product of a&b
**	Exponent	a**b	Returns a to the power b
%	Modulus	x%y	Returns remainder of a&b

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators unlike arithmetic operators only compare two values and return true or false as the result

Operator	Operation	Expression	x=y	x>y	x<y<y< th=""></y<>
==	Equal to	x == y	True	False	False
!=	Not Equal to	x != y	False	True	True
<=	Less than equal to	x <= y	True	False	True
>=	Greater than Equal to	x >= y	True	True	False
<	Less than	x < y	False	False	True
>	Greater than	x > y	False	True	False
<==>	Combined Comparision	x <==> y	0	1	-1

Bitwise Operator

Bitwise operators perform operations on a bit level. After converting the value into binary form, the bitwise operators perform operations on corresponding bits of the operands.

Operator	Operation	Expression	Description
&	Bitwise AND	a&b	Returns 1 when both corresponding bits are 1
|	Bitwise OR	a|b	Returns 1 when either corresponding bits are 1
^	Bitwise XOR	a^b	Returns 0 only when both bits are 1
~	Compliment	~a	Flips all the bits in the binary form of the operand
<<	Left Shift	a<<b< td=""></b<>	shifts all the bits to the left by one position*
>>	Right Shift	a>>b	shifts all the bits to the right by one position*

*In Left/Right shifts the leftmost/rightmost bit is discarded and 0 is inserted towards the other end.

Ternary Operator

?:	Conditional expression
