Operators

Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Description	Example	Result
+	Addition	2 + 3	5
-	Subtraction	7 - 4	3
*	Multiplication	3 * 5	15
/	Division	10 / 3	3.33
%	Modulo	10 % 3	1
^	Exponentiation	2 ^ 10	1024
-	Unary negation	-5	-5
+	Unary plus	+5	5

The + operator also concatenates strings: "Hello" + " World" produces "Hello World".

Comparison Operators

Operator	Description	Example	Result
==	Strict equal	3 == 3	true
!=	Strict not equal	3 != 4	true
>	Greater than	5 > 3	true
<	Less than	3 < 5	true
>=	Greater than or equal	5 >= 5	true
<=	Less than or equal	3 <= 5	true

Comparison operators return boolean values. Equality uses strict comparison (=== semantics) -- no type coercion is performed.

Logical Operators

Operator	Description	Example	Result
&&	Logical AND	true && false	false
||	Logical OR	true || false	true
!	Logical NOT	!true	false

&& and || use short-circuit evaluation and return the deciding operand value (not coerced to boolean). For example, name || "anonymous" returns name if truthy, otherwise "anonymous".

Operator Precedence

Operators are evaluated in this order (highest precedence first):

Precedence	Operators	Description
1	()	Parentheses (grouping)
2	^	Exponentiation
3	+ - ! (unary)	Unary operators
4	* / %	Multiplication, division, modulo
5	+ -	Addition, subtraction
6	< <= > >= == !=	Comparison
7	&&	Logical AND
8	`

Use parentheses to override precedence:

(2 + 3) * 4    // 20, not 14
