operators and conditions
Operators are special symbols that perform operations on variables and values.
1.Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication.
let firstScore = 12
let secondScore = 4
Add And Subtract
let total = firstScore + secondScore
let difference = firstScore - secondScore
multiply and divided
let product = firstScore * secondScore
let divided = firstScore / secondScore
2.Compound assignment operator
var score = 95
score -= 5 //90
3.Comparison Operator
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
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
4.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
Operator Example Meaning
&& a && b Logical AND:true only if both the operands are true
|| a || b Logical OR:true if at least one of the operands is true
! !a Logical NOT:
true if the operand is false and vice-versa.
Condition
Example if else
let firstCard = 11
let secondCard = 10
if firstCard + secondCard == 21 {
print("Blackjack!")
} else {
print("Regular cards")
}
- combining condition Swift has two special operators that let us combine conditions together: they are && (pronounced āandā) and || (pronounced āorā).
Example
let age1 = 12
let age2 = 21
if age1 > 18 && age2 > 18 {
print("Both are over 18")
}
if age1 > 18 || age2 > 18 {
print("At least one is over 18")
}
The ternary operator
Example
let firstCard = 11
let secondCard = 10
print(firstCard == secondCard ? "Cards are the same" : "Cards are different")
Switch statements
let weather = "sunny"
switch weather {
case "rain":
print("Bring an umbrella")
case "snow":
print("Wrap up warm")
case "sunny":
print("Wear sunscreen")
default:
print("Enjoy your day!")
}
Range operators
Swift includes two range operators, which are shortcuts for expressing a range of values. The following table explains these two operators.
1.Closed Range
(a...b) defines a range that runs from a to b, and includes the values a and b.
Example:
1...5 gives 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
2.Half-Open Range
1..< 5 gives 1, 2, 3, and 4
