Swift Operators
Operators are special symbols that perform operations on variables and

values. For example,
print(5 + 6) // 11
Here, + is an operator that adds two numbers: 5 and 6.
Types of Operators
Here's a list of different types of Swift operators that you will learn in this
tutorial.
1. Arithmetic operators
2. Assignment Operators
3. Comparison Operators
4. Logical Operators
5. Bitwise Operators
6. Other Operators
1. Swift Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations like
addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. For example,
var sub = 10 - 5 // 5
Here, - is an arithmetic operator that subtracts two values or variables.

Operator Operation Example
+ Addition 5 + 2 = 7
- Subtraction 4 - 2 = 2
* Multiplication 2 * 3 = 6
/ Division 4 / 2 = 2
% Modulo 5 % 2 = 1
Example 1: Arithmetic Operators in Swift
var a = 7
var b = 2
// addition
print (a + b)
// subtraction
print (a - b)
// multiplication
print (a * b)
Output
9
5
14
In the above example, we have used

 + to add a and b
 - to subtract b from a
 * to multiply a and b
/ Division Operator
The / operator performs division between two numbers. However, if two
numbers are integers, we will only get the quotient. For example,
// returns quotient only

7 / 2 = 3
If we use the / operator with floating-point numbers, we will get the actual
result. For example,
// perform division
7.0 / 3.0 = 3.5
% Modulo Operator
The modulo operator % computes the remainder. For example,
print(9 % 4) // 1
Note: The % operator can only be used with integers.
2. Swift Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. For example,
// assign 5 to x
var x = 5
Here, = is an assignment operator that assigns 5 to x . Here's a list of

different assignment operators available in Swift.
Operator Name Example
= Assignment Operator a = 7
+= Addition Assignment a += 1 // a = a + 1
-= Subtraction Assignment a -= 3 // a = a - 3
*= Multiplication Assignment a *= 4 // a = a * 4
/= Division Assignment a /= 3 // a = a / 3
%= Remainder Assignment a %= 10 // a = a % 10
Example 2: Assignment Operators
// assign 10 to a
var a = 10
// assign 5 to b
var b = 5
// assign the sum of a and b to a

a += b // a = a + b
print(a)
Output
15
3. Swift Comparison Operators
Comparison operators compare two values/variables and return a boolean
result: true or false . For example,
var a = 5, b =2
print (a > b) // true
Here, the > comparison operator is used to compare whether a is greater

than b or not.
Operator Meaning Example
== Is Equal To 3 == 5 gives us false
!= Not Equal To 3 != 5 gives us true
> Greater Than 3 > 5 gives us false
< Less Than 3 < 5 gives us true
>= Greater Than or Equal To 3 >= 5 give us false
<= Less Than or Equal To 3 <= 5 gives us true
Example 3: Comparison Operators
var a = 5, b = 2
// equal to operator
print(a == b)
// not equal to operator

print(a != b)
// greater than operator

print(a > b)
// less than operator

print(a < b)
// greater than or equal to operator

print(a >= b)
// less than or equal to operator

print(a <= b)
Output
false
true
true
false
true
false
Note: Comparison operators are used in decision-making and loops. We'll

discuss more of the comparison operator in later tutorials.
4. Swift Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to check whether an expression is true or false .
They are used in decision-making. For example,
var a = 5, b = 6
print((a > 2) && (b >= 6)) // true
Here, && is the logical operator AND. Since both a > 2 and b >= 6 are true ,
the result is true .
Operator Example Meaning
Logical AND:
&& a && b
true only if both the operands are true
Logical OR:
|| a || b
true if at least one of the operands is true
Logical NOT:
! !a
true if the operand is false and vice-versa.
Example 4: Logical Operators
// logical AND
print(true && true) // true
print(true && false) // false
// logical OR
print(true || false) // true
// logical NOT
print(!true) // false
Output
true
false
true
false
5. Swift Bitwise Operators

In Swift, bitwise operators are used to perform operations on individual bits.
Operator Description
& Binary AND
| Binary OR
^ Binary XOR
~ Binary One's Complement
<< Binary Shift Left

>> Binary Shift Right
Bitwise operators are rarely used in everyday programming. To learn more,

6. Other Swift Operators

Here's a list of other operators available in Swift. We'll learn more about
these operators in later tutorials
Operator Description Example
Ternary Operator - returns value based on the (5 > 2) ? "Success" : "Er

? :
condition // Success
Nil-Coalescing Operator - checks whether an optional

?? number ?? 5
contains a value or not
1...3 // range containing

... Range Operator - defines range containing values
values 1,2,3
