Rust Operators
Rust provides several types of operators, including arithmetic, comparison, logical, bitwise, and assignment operators.
Arithmetic operators include:
+
for addition-
for subtraction*
for multiplication/
for division%
for remainder or modulo
These operators work on numeric types, including integers and floating-point numbers. For example:
let x = 10; let y = 3; let z = x + y; // 13 let w = x / y; // 3 let r = x % y; // 1
Comparison operators include:
==
for equality!=
for inequality<
for less than>
for greater than<=
for less than or equal to>=
for greater than or equal to
These operators compare two values and return a boolean value true
or false
. For example:
let x = 10; let y = 3; let z = x == y; // false let w = x > y; // true
Logical operators include:
&&
for logical AND||
for logical OR!
for logical NOT
These operators are used to combine boolean expressions and return a boolean value. For example:
let x = true; let y = false; let z = x && y; // false let w = x || y; // true let r = !x; // false
Bitwise operators include:
&
for bitwise AND|
for bitwise OR^
for bitwise XOR<<
for left shift>>
for right shift
These operators are used to manipulate binary values. They work on integer types and perform bitwise operations on their binary representation. For example:
let x = 0b1010; let y = 0b1100; let z = x & y; // 0b1000 let w = x | y; // 0b1110 let r = x ^ y; // 0b0110 let s = x << 2; // 0b101000
Assignment operators include:
=
for simple assignment+=
for addition assignment-=
for subtraction assignment*=
for multiplication assignment/=
for division assignment%=
for remainder assignment&=
for bitwise AND assignment|=
for bitwise OR assignment^=
for bitwise XOR assignment<<=
for left shift assignment>>=
for right shift assignment
These operators are used to assign a value to a variable and modify its value in place. For example:
let mut x = 10; x += 5; // x is now 15
