Operators are special symbols that performs specific action on one, two or three operands.
Arithmetic Operators
Addition (+)
It produces the sum of numeric operands or concatenation in case of string operands.
Substration (-)
It produces the subtraction of numeric operands.
Multiplication (*)
It produces the multiplication of numeric operands.
Division (/)
It produces the quotient of numeric operands where the left operand is dividend and the right one is the divisor.
Modulus (%)
It produces the remainder of numeric operands where the left operand is dividend and the right one is the divisor.
Logical Operators
Logical AND (&& / and)
It performs logical AND between operands.
Logical OR (|| / or)
It performs logical OR between operands.
Logical Not (!)
It performs the logical NOT for the operand.
Bitwise Operators
Bitwise AND (&)
It performs Bitwise AND between operands. On Binary level, it returns 1 in each bit position for which the corresponding bits of both operands are 1s.
Bitwise OR (|)
It performs Bitwise OR between operands. On Binary level, it returns 1 in each bit position for which the corresponding bits of either or both operands are 1s.
Bitwise NOT (~)
It performs Bitwise NOT (or complement) for an operand. On Binary level, it inverts the bits of an operand.
Bitwise XOR (^)
It performs Bitwise XOR between operands. On Binary level, it returns 1 in each bit position for which the corresponding bits of either but not both operands are 1s.
Conditional Operators
Equality (=)
It compares equality between operands.
Inequality (!=)
It compares inequality between operands.
Less Than (<)
It returns true if left side operand is less than the right operand, otherwise returns false.
Less Than or Equal To (<=)
It returns true if left side operand is less than or equal to the right operand, otherwise returns false.
Greater Than (>)
It returns true if left side operand is greater than the right operand, otherwise returns false.
Greater Than or Equal To (>=)
It returns true if left side operand is greater than or equal to the right operand, otherwise returns false.
Ternary(? :)
Ternary operator is short-hand operation of simple if-else statements. If condition can be converted to true, the operator returns the value of exprT, otherwise it returns value of exprF (See below).
Syntax: condition ? exprT : exprF
Recursive Traversal Operators
These are the special operators similar to RegEx + and *, applicable only on Intermediate Steps for IMCExpression.
Recursive Plus (<intermediate_steps>_)
This is same as + operator in RegEx. It gives one or more level of recursive traversal on Intermediate Steps of IMCExpression. It can be used adding underscore (_) at the end of intermediate step. Below example will clear the usage.
Recursive Star (_<intermediate_step>_)
This is same as * operator in RegEx. It gives zero or more level of recursive traversal on Intermediate Steps of IMCExpression. It can be used adding underscore (_) at the start as well as at the end of intermediate step. Below is the self-explanatory example for the same.
