Explanation on Operator

In programming, an operator is a symbol that tells the computer to perform a specific operation on one or more values. For example, the + operator is used to add two numbers together, and the - operator is used to subtract one number from another.

There are many different types of operators in programming, including:

Arithmetic operators: These operators are used to perform mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  
Comparison operators: These operators are used to compare two values, such as == (equal to), != (not equal to), > (greater than), and < (less than).  
Logical operators: These operators are used to combine two or more conditions, such as && (and), || (or), and ! (not).
Assignment operators: These operators are used to assign a value to a variable, such as = (equals), += (add and assign), and -= (subtract and assign).
Operators are an essential part of any programming language. They allow you to write code that can perform a wide variety of tasks.
