Operators

With an operator you can tell the compiler to perform a mathematical or string operation to preduce a new value.
The operators are applied in a specific order, the operator precedence.

Operator	Sign	Precedence
Multiply	"*"	1
Divide	"/"	2
Add	"+"	3
Subtract	"-"	4

A multiplication is executed before a division, a division is executed before an addition, etc.

Assignment

With the assignment operator "=" you can assign a value, this operator is applicable to numeric, string, record and array types.

proc main()
  number n
  n = 15 ; Assign the value 15 to the number n
end

Addition

With the addition operator "+" you can multiply a value, this operator is applicable to numeric and string types.

proc main()
  number n
  n = n + 15 ; Add the value 15 to the number n
end

Subtraction

With the subtraction operator "-" you can subtract a value, this operator is only applicable to numeric types.

proc main()
  number n
  n = n - 15 ; Subtract 15 from the number n
end

Multiplication

With the multiplication operator "*" you can multiply a value, this operator is only applicable to numeric types.

proc main()
  number n
  n = n * 15 ; Multiply n with 15
end

Division

With the division operator "/" you can divide a value, this operator is only applicable to numeric types.

proc main()
  number n
  n = n / 15 ; Divide n with 15
end

Short notation

When the operation is applied to the same number as the source value then an operator can be written is a shorter manner.
The following example shows the same operations as the examples above but in a shorter notation:

proc main()
  number n
  n += 15 ; Add the value 15 to the number n
  n -= 15 ; Subtract 15 from the number n
  n *= 15 ; Multiply n with 15
  n /= 15 ; Divide n with 15
end

Short increase and decrease

When increasing or decreasing with one there's an even shorter notation possible:

proc main()
  number n
  n++ ; Increase n with 1
  n-- ; Decrease n with 1
end
