Arithmetic operators in X++ Programming Language
Arithmetic operators are used to make numeric calculations.
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| << | The left shift operator multiplies the left value by 2 by the number of times equal to the value on the right. | int a = 1 << 2 (this equals 1*2*2.) |
| >> | The right shift operator divides the left value by 2 by the number of times equal to the value on the right. | int a = 1 >> 2 (this equals 1/2/2.) |
| * | This operator multiplies operands. | int a = 1*2 |
| / | This operator divides the left value by the right value. | int a = 1/2 |
| div | The integer division operator performs an integer division of the left value and the right value. | int a = 20 div 6 (This returns a division of 3 with a remainder of 2. A = 3) |
| mod | The integer remainder operator returns the remainder of an integer of the left value and the right value. | int a = 20 mod 6 (This returns a division of 3 with a remainder of 2. A = 2) |
| ~ | The not operator performs a binary not operation. | int a = ~1 (This returns -2.) |
| & | The binary AND operator performs a binary operation on the left and right value. This returns the bits in common. | int a = 1 & 3 (This returns 1.) |
| ^ | The binary XOR operator performs a binary XOR operation on the left and right value. This returns the bits set in one, but not the other. | int a = 1 ^ 3 (This returns 2.) |
| | | The binary OR operator performs a binary operation on the left and right value. This returns the bits set in either. | int a = 1 | 3 (This returns 3.) |
| + | The plus operator adds operands. | int a = 1 + 4 (This returns 5.) |
| - | The minus operator subtracts the left or right values. | int a = 4 - 1 (This returns 3.) |
| ? | The ternary operator takes three values. If value 1 is true, value 2 is returned. Else, value 3 is returned. | int a = (x > 3) ? 1:5 (If x is greater than 3, then return 1, else return 5.) |
