Operators and Expressions


INTERACTIVITY
01.06 Operators and Expressions WITH JAVASCRIPT

Statements
• We have been using statements to
execute our JavaScript code
• Statements often have expressions
• Expressions produce values

Expression
• So if you think back to LHS = RHS, the
LHS is a variable and the RHS is what
generates the value
• What are our tools for generating values
on the RHS?

Assignment Operators
Operator Example Value stored in x
= x=5 5
y = 12
=
x=y 12

Arithmetic Operators
Operator Example Value stored in x
+ x=2+5 7
- x=5-2 3
* x=2*5 10
/ x = 5/2 2.5
% x = 5%2 1

More Operators
Operator Example Value stored in x
x = 5; 6
++
x++;
x = 12; 11
--
x--
x = 2; 7
+=
x+=5

String Operators

Operator Example Value stored in x


+ x = “Hi” + “There” “HiThere”
+ x = “Hi” + 5 “Hi5”
x = “Hi”
+=
x +=“There” “HiThere”

Boolean Operators
• We can also use operators to compare values
• Assume x = 12;
Operator Example Returns
== x ==5 false
== x ==12 true
!= x !=5 true

Boolean Operators
• Assume x = 12;

Operator Example Returns


> x >12 false
>= x >=12 true
< x <12 false
<= x <=12 true

Boolean Operators
• Assume x = 12;
Operator Example Returns…
== x == “12” true
=== x === “12” false
!=== x !== 12 false

• You need to really stop and think about these


operators…

Logical Operators
• Assume x = 12;
Operator Example returns…
(15 > x) && (x > 5) true
&&
both sides must be true
(15 > x) || (x > 5) true
||
at least one side must be true
! !(x == 12) false

Review
• Programming is not just about knowing
the syntax of a language
• You need to think about the logic behind
what you want to do, before you start to
code
