Mastering Dart Operators and Expressions

Understanding Dart operators and expressions is essential for writing effective and clean code in Flutter and Dart-based apps. Dart provides a variety of operators to perform mathematical calculations, comparisons, and logical evaluations. These include arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment, and type test operators.

Below is a complete example that demonstrates various Dart operators in action:

void main() {
  int a = 10;
  int b = 5;

  // Arithmetic Operators
  print('Addition: ${a + b}');
  print('Subtraction: ${a - b}');
  print('Multiplication: ${a * b}');
  print('Division: ${a / b}');
  print('Modulus: ${a % b}');

  // Relational Operators
  print('Equal: ${a == b}');
  print('Not Equal: ${a != b}');
  print('Greater Than: ${a > b}');
  print('Less Than: ${a < b}');

  // Logical Operators
  bool x = true;
  bool y = false;
  print('AND: ${x && y}');
  print('OR: ${x || y}');
  print('NOT: ${!x}');

  // Assignment Operators
  int c = a;
  c += b;
  print('c after += : $c');

  // Type Test Operators
  print('Is int: ${a is int}');
  print('Is not String: ${a is! String}');
}

Operators are fundamental in any programming language, and mastering them in Dart gives you the flexibility to write clean, efficient, and bug-free code.
