<h4 class="subsubsection">15.4.9.1 Operators</h4>
<a name="index-Modula_002d2-operators"></a>
<p>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:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <em>Integral types</em> consist of <code>INTEGER</code>, <code>CARDINAL</code>, and
their subranges.
</li><li> <em>Character types</em> consist of <code>CHAR</code> and its subranges.
</li><li> <em>Floating-point types</em> consist of <code>REAL</code>.
</li><li> <em>Pointer types</em> consist of anything declared as <code>POINTER TO
<var>type</var></code>.
</li><li> <em>Scalar types</em> consist of all of the above.
</li><li> <em>Set types</em> consist of <code>SET</code> and <code>BITSET</code> types.
</li><li> <em>Boolean types</em> consist of <code>BOOLEAN</code>.
</li></ul>
<p>The following operators are supported, and appear in order of
increasing precedence:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>,</code></dt>
<dd><p>Function argument or array index separator.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>:=</code></dt>
<dd><p>Assignment. The value of <var>var</var> <code>:=</code> <var>value</var> is
<var>value</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>&lt;<span class="roman">, </span>&gt;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Less than, greater than on integral, floating-point, or enumerated
types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>&lt;=<span class="roman">, </span>&gt;=</code></dt>
<dd><p>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>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>=<span class="roman">, </span>&lt;&gt;<span class="roman">, </span>#</code></dt>
<dd><p>Equality and two ways of expressing inequality, valid on scalar types.
Same precedence as <code>&lt;</code>. In <small>GDB</small> scripts, only <code>&lt;&gt;</code> is
available for inequality, since <code>#</code> conflicts with the script
comment character.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>IN</code></dt>
<dd><p>Set membership. Defined on set types and the types of their members.
Same precedence as <code>&lt;</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>OR</code></dt>
<dd><p>Boolean disjunction. Defined on boolean types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>AND<span class="roman">, </span>&amp;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Boolean conjunction. Defined on boolean types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@</code></dt>
<dd><p>The <small>GDB</small> &ldquo;artificial array&rdquo; operator (see <a href="Expressions.html#Expressions">Expressions</a>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>+<span class="roman">, </span>-</code></dt>
<dd><p>Addition and subtraction on integral and floating-point types, or union
and difference on set types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>*</code></dt>
<dd><p>Multiplication on integral and floating-point types, or set intersection
on set types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>/</code></dt>
<dd><p>Division on floating-point types, or symmetric set difference on set
types. Same precedence as <code>*</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>DIV<span class="roman">, </span>MOD</code></dt>
<dd><p>Integer division and remainder. Defined on integral types. Same
precedence as <code>*</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-</code></dt>
<dd><p>Negative. Defined on <code>INTEGER</code> and <code>REAL</code> data.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>^</code></dt>
<dd><p>Pointer dereferencing. Defined on pointer types.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>NOT</code></dt>
<dd><p>Boolean negation. Defined on boolean types. Same precedence as
<code>^</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>.</code></dt>
<dd><p><code>RECORD</code> field selector. Defined on <code>RECORD</code> data. Same
precedence as <code>^</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>[]</code></dt>
<dd><p>Array indexing. Defined on <code>ARRAY</code> data. Same precedence as <code>^</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>()</code></dt>
<dd><p>Procedure argument list. Defined on <code>PROCEDURE</code> objects. Same precedence
as <code>^</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>::<span class="roman">, </span>.</code></dt>
<dd><p><small>GDB</small> and Modula-2 scope operators.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<blockquote>
<p><em>Warning:</em> Set expressions and their operations are not yet supported, so <small>GDB</small>
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.
</p></blockquote>
