OperatorAn expression tells JavaScript
what to do with the data it gets, and within each expression are operators
and operands. Operands are the data or data types the expression gets, and
operators are the shorthand characters that tell the expression what to do
with the operand. JavaScript has arithmetic (+,-,*,/), assignment (=),
bitwise (&, |), comparison (>, <,), logical (&, ||, !), special (.,
[]), and string (+) operators. Operators are a feature of many programming
and scripting languages. At first
there were a relatively limited menu of operators to use in JavaScript, but
version 1.2 allowed for the support of regular expressions and a group of
operators large enough to compare to other scripting languages.
