Relational Operators
Operator Use Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> op1 > op2 Returns true if op1 is greater than op2
>= op1 >= op2 Returns true if op1 is greater than or equal to op2
< op1 < op2 Returns true if op1 is less than op2
<= op1 <= op2 Returns true if op1 is less than or equal to op2
== op1 == op2 Returns true if op1 and op2 are equal
!= op1 != op2 Returns true if op1 and op2 are not equal
Conditional Operators
Operator Use Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&& op1 && op2 Returns true if op1 and op2 are both true; conditionally
evaluates op2
|| op1 || op2 Returns true if either op1 or op2 is true; conditionally
evaluates op2
! !op Returns true if op is false
& op1 & op2 Returns true if op1 and op2 are both boolean and both
true; always evaluates op1 and op2; if both operands are
numbers, performs bitwise AND operation
| op1 | op2 Returns true if both op1 and op2 are boolean and either
op1 or op2 is true; always evaluates op1 and op2; if
both operands are numbers, performs bitwise inclusive OR
operation
^ op1 ^ op2 Returns true if op1 and op2 are different — that is, if
one or the other of the operands, but not both, is true
Shift Operators
Operator Use Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<< op1 << op2 Shifts bits of op1 left by distance op2; fills with 0
bits on the right side
>> op1 >> op2 Shifts bits of op1 right by distance op2; fills with
highest (sign) bit on the left side
>>> op1 >>> op2 Shifts bits of op1 right by distance op2; fills with
0 bits on the left side
Logical Operators
Operator Use Operation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
& op1 & op2 Bitwise AND if both operands are numbers; conditional
AND if both operands are boolean
| op1 | op2 Bitwise OR if both operands are numbers; conditional
OR if both operands are boolean
^ op1 ^ op2 Bitwise exclusive OR (XOR)
~ ~op Bitwise complement
