Scala Operators
Scala provides rich operators, including arithmetic operators, relational operators, logical operators, and more. In Scala, operators are actually syntactic sugar for method calls.
Arithmetic Operators
Relational Operators
Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators
Assignment Operators
Operator Precedence
Scala operator precedence from high to low:
()[].!~unary+-*/%+-<<>>>>><<=>>===!=&^|&&||=+=-=and other assignment operators
Custom Operators
In Scala, you can define custom operators:
Method Call Form of Operators
In Scala, operators are actually syntactic sugar for method calls:

Practice Exercises
- Create a calculator class that implements basic arithmetic operations
- Define a complex number class that implements complex number addition and multiplication operators
- Use bitwise operators to implement a simple permission system
Operators are the foundation of Scala programming, mastering their use is essential for writing efficient and readable code.
