Learn the syntax, data types, and operations essential for programming in Scala

Become a Scala Developer

In this module, we will learn Scala from the ground up. This module aims to teach us how to write basic programs, assuming we have no prior knowledge of the language. We will start with a brief introduction to Scala to understand its functionality and applications. We will then move discuss the key features and functions of the language (data types, functions, classes, etc.) in detail. In the end, we will have all the basic knowledge of how to program in Scala.

Learn Scala from Scratch

Operators are symbols that perform *operations* used for modifying or manipulating data. Manipulating data is an essential part of any programming language, and Scala is no different, providing a rich set of operators for its basic types.

# Types of Operators

As far as built-in operators go, Scala provides the following five types.

* Arithmetic Operators
* Relational Operators
* Logical Operators
* Bitwise Operators
* Assignment Operators

In the coming lessons, we will be discussing each type of operator individually.

# Operators Are Methods

In the previous lesson, you were introduced to methods. Operators are simply methods called using the operator notation we discussed in the previous lesson.

Operators usually follow an infix notation. The infix notation is where the operator is situated between two operands. Operands are the data objects that the operator is performing an operation on.

In the following lesson, you will be given an overview of the operators Scala provides.
