C++ Operators

Operators require:

1. An operation
2. Two operators(called operands) Operators can have more than one meaning. eg, the - operator can be used to negate or subtract

Operators

operator	effect
+	returns sum of operand1 + operand2`
-	returns result of operand1 - operand2 or can be used to negate a number
*	returns product of operand1 * operand2
/	returns division of operand1 / operand2
==	returns boolean if operand1 equals operand2
?:	c ? a : b. if c is true, evaluate x, if c is false, evaluate y

Unary vs Binary

Unary

Operators act on one operand. take for example -a. only one operand

Binary

Operators act on two operand. 3+4 is one, 2-2 is one Insertation Operator and Extraction Operator are also binary

Ternary

acts on 3 operands. the only one is the Conditional Operator

Nullary

acts on 0 operands. the only one is throw
