<p><a name="index-Modula_002d2-operators-1044"></a>
Operators must be defined on values of specific types. For instance,
<code>+</code> is defined on numbers, but not on structures. Operators are
often defined on groups of types. For the purposes of Modula-2, the
following definitions hold:
<ul>
<li><em>Integral types</em> consist of <code>INTEGER</code>, <code>CARDINAL</code>, and
their subranges.
<li><em>Character types</em> consist of <code>CHAR</code> and its subranges.
<li><em>Floating-point types</em> consist of <code>REAL</code>.
<li><em>Pointer types</em> consist of anything declared as <code>POINTER TO
</code><var>type</var>.
<li><em>Scalar types</em> consist of all of the above.
<li><em>Set types</em> consist of <code>SET</code> and <code>BITSET</code> types.
<li><em>Boolean types</em> consist of <code>BOOLEAN</code>.
</ul>
<p class="noindent">The following operators are supported, and appear in order of
increasing precedence:
<dl>
<dt><code>,</code><dd>Function argument or array index separator.
<br><dt><code>:=</code><dd>Assignment. The value of <var>var</var> <code>:=</code> <var>value</var> is
<var>value</var>.
<br><dt><code>&lt;</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>&gt;</code><dd>Less than, greater than on integral, floating-point, or enumerated
types.
<br><dt><code>&lt;=</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>&gt;=</code><dd>Less than or equal to, greater than or equal to
on integral, floating-point and enumerated types, or set inclusion on
set types. Same precedence as <code>&lt;</code>.
<br><dt><code>=</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>&lt;&gt;</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>#</code><dd>Equality and two ways of expressing inequality, valid on scalar types.
Same precedence as <code>&lt;</code>. In <span class="sc">gdb</span> scripts, only <code>&lt;&gt;</code> is
available for inequality, since <code>#</code> conflicts with the script
comment character.
<br><dt><code>IN</code><dd>Set membership. Defined on set types and the types of their members.
Same precedence as <code>&lt;</code>.
<br><dt><code>OR</code><dd>Boolean disjunction. Defined on boolean types.
<br><dt><code>AND</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>&amp;</code><dd>Boolean conjunction. Defined on boolean types.
<br><dt><code>@</code><dd>The <span class="sc">gdb</span> &ldquo;artificial array&rdquo; operator (see <a href="Expressions.html#Expressions">Expressions</a>).
<br><dt><code>+</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>-</code><dd>Addition and subtraction on integral and floating-point types, or union
and difference on set types.
<br><dt><code>*</code><dd>Multiplication on integral and floating-point types, or set intersection
on set types.
<br><dt><code>/</code><dd>Division on floating-point types, or symmetric set difference on set
types. Same precedence as <code>*</code>.
<br><dt><code>DIV</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>MOD</code><dd>Integer division and remainder. Defined on integral types. Same
precedence as <code>*</code>.
<br><dt><code>-</code><dd>Negative. Defined on <code>INTEGER</code> and <code>REAL</code> data.
<br><dt><code>^</code><dd>Pointer dereferencing. Defined on pointer types.
<br><dt><code>NOT</code><dd>Boolean negation. Defined on boolean types. Same precedence as
<code>^</code>.
<br><dt><code>.</code><dd><code>RECORD</code> field selector. Defined on <code>RECORD</code> data. Same
precedence as <code>^</code>.
<br><dt><code>[]</code><dd>Array indexing. Defined on <code>ARRAY</code> data. Same precedence as <code>^</code>.
<br><dt><code>()</code><dd>Procedure argument list. Defined on <code>PROCEDURE</code> objects. Same precedence
as <code>^</code>.
<br><dt><code>::</code><span class="roman">, </span><code>.</code><dd><span class="sc">gdb</span> and Modula-2 scope operators.
</dl>
<blockquote>
<em>Warning:</em> Set expressions and their operations are not yet supported, so <span class="sc">gdb</span>
treats the use of the operator <code>IN</code>, or the use of operators
<code>+</code>, <code>-</code>, <code>*</code>, <code>/</code>, <code>=</code>, , <code>&lt;&gt;</code>, <code>#</code>,
<code>&lt;=</code>, and <code>&gt;=</code> on sets as an error.
