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:

Assignment Examples

let x = 10;

// Assign the value 5 to x
let x = 5;
// Assign the value 2 to y
let y = 2;
// Assign the value x + y to z:
let z = x + y;

JavaScript Addition

The Addition Operator (+) adds numbers:

Adding

let x = 5;
let y = 2;
let z = x + y;

JavaScript Multiplication

The Multiplication Operator (*) multiplies numbers:

Multiplying

let x = 5;
let y = 2;
let z = x * y;

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

let a = 3;
let x = (100 + 50) * a;

Operator	Description
+	Addition
-	Subtraction
*	Multiplication
**	Exponentiation (ES2016)
/	Division
%	Modulus (Division Remainder)
++	Increment
--	Decrement

Note

Arithmetic operators are fully described in the JS Arithmetic chapter.

JavaScript Assignment Operators

Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.

The Addition Assignment Operator (+=) adds a value to a variable.

Assignment

let x = 10;
x += 5;

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

Note

Assignment operators are fully described in the JS Assignment chapter.

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
