JavaScript Operators are used for performing various mathematical operations.
Types of Operators
Comparison Operators: Used for comparing between two operand by value and also by their data types.
Assignment Operators: Performs the operation before assigning the value to the variables.
Logical Operators: Resultant output will be boolean either one or zero for the logical operators.
Bitwise Operators: Operates on each bit and results the output in decimal.
Ternary Operator or Conditional Operator: Assignment to the variable is done with respect to the condition. If the condition meets, first value will gets assigned else the second value.
If the value of b is 2 and c is 1, condition is not met, value 3 will get assigned to a

| Operator | Description | Example | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| + | Addition | a = b + c | b = 1; c = 2 ; | a = 3; |
| - | Subtraction | a = b - c | b = 3; c = 1; | a = 2; |
| * | Multiplication | a = b * c | b = 2, c =2; | a = 4; |
| / | Division | a = b / c | b = 4, c = 2; | a = 2; |
| % | Modulus | a = b % c | b = 8, c = 2; | a = 2; |
| ++ | Increment | a = ++b a = b++ |
b = 2; | a = 3; b = 2; a = 2; b = 3; |
| -- | Decrement | a = --b a = b-- |
b = 2; | a = 1; b = 1; a = 2; b = 1; |
Comparison Operators: Used for comparing between two operand by value and also by their data types.
| Operator | Description | Examples | Inputs passed to a and b | Returns below outputs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| == | Compares the values | a == b | a = 2; b = 2; a = 2, b = 1; |
true false |
| === | compares the values and value type | a === b | a = 2; b = 2; a = 2; b = "i"; |
true false |
| != | Not equal to | a != b | a = 2 ; b = 2; a = 2 ; b = 1; |
false true |
| !== | Not equal to value and value type | a !== b | a = 2 ; b = 2; a = 2 ; b = "i"; |
false true |
| > | Greater than | a > b | a = 2 ; b = 2; a = 2 ; b = 1; |
false true |
| >= | Greater than and equal to | a >= b | a = 2 ; b = 2; a = 2 ; b = 1; |
true true |
| < | Less than | a < b | a = 2 ; b = 2; a = 2 ; b = 1; |
false false |
| <= | Less than and equal to | a <= b | a = 2 ; b = 2; a = 2 ; b = 1; |
true false |
Assignment Operators: Performs the operation before assigning the value to the variables.
| Operators | Description | Example | Inputs of a and b | Resultant output of a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| = | Simple assignment | a = b | b = 1; | a = 1; |
| += | Adds the value and assigns | a += b | a = 2; b = 3; | a = 2 + 3 = 5; |
| -= | Subtracts the value and assigns | a -= b | a = 2; b = 1; | a = 2 - 1 = 1; |
| *= | Multiplies the value and assigns | a *= b | a = 2; b = 3; | a = 2 * 3 = 6; |
| /= | Divides by value and assigns | a /= b | a = 4; b = 2; | a = 4 / 2 = 2; |
| %= | Modulus by value and assigns | a %= b | a = 9; b = 2; | a = 9 % 2 = 1; |
Logical Operators: Resultant output will be boolean either one or zero for the logical operators.
| Operator | Description | Example | Inputs | Outputs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| && | Logical and | a && b | a = 1; b = 1; a = 2; b = 1; |
1 0 |
| || | Logical or | a || b | a = 0; b = 0; a = 1; b = 0; |
0 1 |
| ! | Logical not | ! ( a == b ) | a = 2; b = 2; a = 2; b = 1; |
0 1 |
Bitwise Operators: Operates on each bit and results the output in decimal.
| Operators | Description | Example | Inputs of a and b | Resultant output of a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| & | Bitwise and | a & b | a = 1101; b = 1100; | a = 1100; |
| | | Bitwise or | a += b | a = 1100; b = 0011; | a = 1111; |
| ^ | Bitwise xor | a ^ b | a = 1100; b = 1010; | a = 0110; |
| ~ | Not, inverts the bit value | ~a | a = 1000; | a = 0111; |
| << | Shifts the bits left with zero filled from right | a << b | a = 0010; b = 2; | a = 0100; // 4 in decimal |
| >> | Shifts the bits right, discards the shifted bits, signed shift from left | a >> b | a = 1000; b = 2; | a = 0010; |
| >>> | Shifts the bits right, discards the shifted bits, zero filled from left | a >>> b | a = 1000; b = 2; | a = 0010; |
Ternary Operator or Conditional Operator: Assignment to the variable is done with respect to the condition. If the condition meets, first value will gets assigned else the second value.
Syntax: variable = condition ? value1 : value2 ;
Example: a = ( b == c ) ? 2 : 3;If the value of b is 2 and c is also 2, condition is met, value 2 will get assigned to a
If the value of b is 2 and c is 1, condition is not met, value 3 will get assigned to a
