Operators

JScript includes a number of different operators that you can use to perform calculations, make comparisons, make assignments, and more. This section presents the most commonly used JScript operators, organized by type: Table B-1 lists the mathematical operators; Table B-2 lists the comparison operators; and Table B-3 lists the assignment operators.
