Study Notes
- Operators are special symbols or phrases that check, change, or combine values.
- The addition operator (
+) adds two numbers. - The logical AND operator (
&&) combines two Boolean values. - Swift improves upon operators found in languages like C to reduce coding errors.
- The assignment operator (
=) does not return a value, preventing its misuse when the equal to operator (==) is intended. - Arithmetic operators (
+,-,*,/,%, etc.) detect and disallow value overflow to prevent unexpected results. - Swift offers overflow operators for opting into value overflow behavior.
- Swift includes range operators not found in C, such as
a...banda..<b. - Common comparison operators include:
- Equal to (
a == b) - Not equal to (
a != b) - Greater than (
a > b) - Less than (
a < b) - Greater than or equal to (
a >= b) - Less than or equal to (
a <= b)
- Equal to (
