Operators

This page contains a list of all operators in Ruda. If you are new to programming, you can skip this page for now and return when you need to learn about a specific operator.

Arithmetic Operators

Sometimes you need to perform arithmetic operations on variables. For example, you may need to increment or decrement a variable's value.

Operator	Description	Example
+	Addition	x + y
-	Subtraction	x - y
*	Multiplication	x * y
/	Division	x / y
%	Modulus	x % y

example:

let x = 5
let y = 10

let sum = x + y
let difference = x - y
// ... and so on

Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

Operator	Description	Example
=	Assign	x = y
+=	Add and assign	x += y
-=	Subtract and assign	x -= y
*=	Multiply and assign	x *= y
/=	Divide and assign	x /= y

example:

let x = 5
let y = 10

x += y // the same as: x = x + y

// ... and so on

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare values.

Operator	Description	Example
==	Equal	x == y
!=	Not equal	x != y
<	Less than	x < y
>	Greater than	x > y
<=	Less than or equal	x <= y
>=	Greater than or equal	x >= y

example:

let x = 5
let y = 10

let equal = x == y // false
// ... and so on

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine boolean expressions.

Operator	Description	Example
&&	Logical AND	x && y
||	Logical OR	x || y
!	Logical NOT	!x

Error handling operators

Error handling operators are used to handle errors.

Operator	Description	Example
?	Exists?	x? returns true if x is not null
!	Trust me	x()! forwards the error if x threw an error
