Operators in C# are symbols that perform certain operations on one or more operands. They can be classified into several categories:
– Arithmetic Operators: These operators are used to perform basic mathematical operations, such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus (%).
– Assignment Operators: These operators are used to assign a value to a variable. The most commonly used assignment operator is the equal sign (=), but there are also compound assignment operators like +=, -=, *=, /=, and %=.
– Comparison Operators: These operators are used to compare two values and return a Boolean result. They include equal to (==), not equal to (!=), greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (>=), and less than or equal to (<=). - Logical Operators: These operators are used to perform logical operations on Boolean values. They include logical AND (&&), logical OR (||), and logical NOT (!). - Bitwise Operators: These operators are used to perform bitwise operations on integer values. They include bitwise AND (&), bitwise OR (|), bitwise XOR (^), bitwise complement (~), left shift (<<), and right shift (>>).
– Increment and Decrement Operators: These operators are used to increment or decrement the value of a variable. They include pre-increment (++x), pre-decrement (–x), post-increment (x++), and post-decrement (x–).
– Conditional Operator: This operator is used to evaluate a condition and return one of two values, depending on the result of the condition. It is denoted by the ? : symbols.
– Cast Operator: This operator is used to convert the type of a value into another type. It is denoted by the () symbols.
– Other Operators: There are also other operators in C# that perform various operations, such as the ternary if-else operator, the null-coalescing operator (??), the null-conditional operator (?.), and the pointer operator (*).
These are the basic operators in C#, but there may be additional operators or variations within each category, depending on the specific programming language version or library being used.
