Ruby Operators

Ruby has a built-in modern set of operators. Operators are a symbol which is used to perform different operations. For example, +, -, /, *, etc.

Types of operators:

• Unary operator
• Airthmetic operator
• Bitwise operator
• Logical operator
• Ternary operator
• Assignment operator
• Comparison operator
• Range operator

Unary Operator

Unary operators expect a single operand to run on.

Example

In file hello.rb, write the following code.

Output:

Airthmetic Operator

Airthmetic operators take numerical values as operands and return them in a single value.

Example

In file hello.rb, write the following code.

Output:

Bitwise Operator

Bitwise operators work on bits operands.

Logical Operator

Logical operators work on bits operands.

Ternary Operator

Ternary operators first check whether given conditions are true or false, then execute the condition.

Example

In file hello.rb, write the following code.

Output:

Assignment Operator

Assignment operator assign a value to the operands.

Comparison Operator

Comparison operators compare two operands.

Example

In file hello.rb, write the following code.

Output:

Range Operator

Range operators create a range of successive values consisting of a start, end and range of values in between.

The (..) creates a range including the last term and (...) creates a range excluding the last term.

For example, for the range of 1..5, output will range from 1 to 5.

and for the range of 1...5, output will range from 1 to 4.
