Complete Kotlin Tutorial: Part 6 (Working with Operators)

If you are new to this series, start from here

The previous post, Part 5 is here

Now, let’s continue with our journey by understanding what operators are and making use of them in our Kotlin code.

Operators are special symbols that are meant to perform special calculations, comparisons, and logical manipulations. And the variables on which these operations are performed are called Operands. For example, in x + y; x and y are operands and + (plus) is the operator.

These are the types of operators available in Kotlin-

• Arithmetic Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Relational/Comparison Operators
• Logical Operators
• Unary Operators
• Bitwise Operators

Arithmetic Operators

These operators are capable of doing basic operations.

• plus (+) → Addition
• hyphen (-) → Subtraction
• asterisk (*) → Multiplication
• forward-slash (/) → Division
• percent (%) → Modulus (getting the remainder after division)
