Operators Overview

If you are familiar with C, C++, Java, or JavaScript, you probably already know what most of the DScript operators do. However, DScript includes some operators not found in other languages.

The following table presents all DScript operators in groups from highest to lowest precedence. A detailed description of each operator follows in the remainder of this chapter.
