Operator Reference Foundation

This chapter describes all operators available in the Xbase++ language. There are five main groups of operators: mathematical operators, logical operators, comparison operators, inline operators and special operators.

Mathematical operators perform operations such as addition or multiplication. Logical operators work with logical values and allow operations like "logical AND" or "logical OR". Comparison operators compare the values of two operands according to a condition which might be "equal", "less" or "greater than". All inline operators perform both an operation and an assignment. Special operators are used for various purposes. This can be the compilation of a character string or passing an argument by reference.
