Visual Basic - operators
Operators perform an operation between the operands, this operation can be mathematical, logical, or bitwise.Arithmetic operators
Are used to perform mathematical operations. the following are basic operations between the arithmetic operators:
Visual Basic .NET
8 + 12 ' 20
100 - 2 ' 98
5 * 5 ' 25
50 / i ' 2.5
70 \ 8 ' 8
70 mod 8 ' 6
Logical
Three or four logical operations are available, exactly how much it depends on the particular programming language that we use. with these operations, we can solve any logical task or condition. these logical conditions are for example connections of comparing values according to certain rules, testing values. logical operations are mainly used in the execution of conditional statements.
Visual Basic .NET
a and b
a or true
not a
Bitwise
We have more of the bitwise operators, using the bitwise operator we can set or determine the specific bit in whole numbers.
Visual Basic .NET
2 << 2
2 >> 2
&Hff and &H05 ' 0x05
&H01 or &H02 ' 0x03
not 2
&H1A xor &H1A
Relational
The main use of the relational operators is in control of conditional statements. thanks to these, we can decide which direction to continue the conditional statements, or for example, how many iterations of the cycle need to perform.
Visual Basic .NET
5 < 3 ' true
x > 3.14 '
y <= x ' ...
&Hff >= y ' ...
x = 6
y <> 25

Examples - Visual Basic
Visual Basic .NET
Other pieces of example codes:Dim x As integer= -12345
Dim b2 As boolean= x and y
a = 4 >= 2
x > 3.14
1 <> 10
(x * y)
