JavaScript Operators
Javascript operators are used to perform different types of mathematical and
logical computations.
Examples:
The Assignment Operator = assigns values
The Addition Operator + adds values
The Multiplication Operator * multiplies values
The Comparison Operator > compares values
JavaScript Assignment
The Assignment Operator (=) assigns a value to a variable:
Types of JavaScript Operators
There are different types of JavaScript operators:
Arithmetic Operators
Assignment Operators
Comparison Operators
String Operators
Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators
Ternary Operators
Type Operators
JavaScript Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic Operators are used to perform arithmetic on numbers:
Arithmetic Operators Example
<script>
let x=10;
document.write(x);
</script>
<script>
let a = 3;
let x = (100 + 50) * a;
document.write(x);
</script>
Operator Description
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
** Exponentiation (ES2016)
/ Division
% Modulus (Division Remainder)
++ Increment
-- Decrement
JavaScript Assignment Operators
Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.
The Addition Assignment Operator (+=) adds a value to a variable.
<script>
var x = 10;
x += 5;
document.write(x);
</script>
Operator Example Same As
= x=y x=y
+= x += y x=x+y
-= x -= y x=x-y
*= x *= y x=x*y
/= x /= y x=x/y
%= x %= y x=x%y
**= x **= y x = x ** y
Input in java Script
<script>
const num1 =Number( prompt("Enter any number:"));
const num2 = Number(prompt("Enter second number:"));
const num3=text1+text2;
document.write("Addition of text and text2 is: "+num3);
Area of Tringle
<script>
const baseValue = prompt('Enter the base of a triangle: ');
const heightValue = prompt('Enter the height of a triangle: ');
// calculate the area
const areaValue = (baseValue * heightValue) / 2;
document.write("the are of triangle is :"+areaValue);
</script>
Swaping
<script>
//JavaScript program to swap two variables
//take input from the users
let a = prompt('Enter the value a: ');
let b = prompt('Enter the value b: ');
//create a temporary variable
let temp;
//swap variables
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
document.write("value of a :"+a);
document.write("<br>");
document.write("value of b :"+b);
</script>
Swap Example 2
<script>
//JavaScript program to swap two variables
//take input from the users
let a = parseInt(prompt('Enter the value a: '));
let b = parseInt(prompt('Enter the value b: '));
// addition and subtraction operator
a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;
document.write("value of a :"+a);
document.write("<br>");
document.write("value of b :"+b);
</script>
Example
<script>
let text1 = prompt("Enter any number:");
let sqrt1=Math.sqrt(text1);
document.write("the squire root of text1: "+sqrt1);
</script>
JavaScript Comparison Operators
Operator Description
== equal to
=== equal value and equal type
!= not equal
!== not equal value or not equal type
> greater than
< less than
>= greater than or equal to
<= less than or equal to
? ternary operator
JavaScript String Comparison
All the comparison operators above can also be used on strings:
Example
<script>
let x=10;
let y=20;
let result=x<y;
document.write("x is less then y :"+(x<y));
document.write("<br>");
document.write("x is greater then y :"+(x>y));
</script>
Example
<script>
let text1 = "A";
let text2 = "B";
let result = text1 < text2;
document.write(result);
</script>
Example
<script>
let text1 = "20";
let text2 = "5";
let result = text1 < text2;
document.write(result);
</script>
JavaScript String Addition
The + can also be used to add (concatenate) strings:
<script>
let text1 = "John";
let text2 = "Doe";
let text3 = text1 + " " + text2;
document.write(text3);
</script>
The += assignment operator can also be used to add (concatenate) strings:
<script>
let text1 = "What a very ";
text1 += "nice day";
document.write(text1);
</script>
Adding Strings and Numbers
Adding two numbers, will return the sum as a number like 5 + 5 = 10.
Adding a number and a string, will return the sum as a concatenated string like
5 + "5" = "55".
<script>
let x = 5 + 5;
let y = "5" + 5;
let z = "Hello" + 5;
document.write(x);
document.write(y);
document.write(z);
</scritp>
