Unary Operators (Cross Ref > Operators)

Unary Operators

General Info: Unary Operator

An operation with only one operand (a single input). Common unary operators include + plus, - minus, and bitwise not. Some operators can function as both unary and binary operators. For example, + and - operators can serve as either.

Languages Focus

What unary operators are supported in additoin to the standard plus, minus, and bitwise not.

Access VBA:

An operation with only one operand (a single input) such as +, -, and Not.

Unary Operator

Delphi:

An operation with only one operand (a single input). In Object Pascal, a unary operator has the highest precedence and always precedes its operand (for example, -B), except for the ^ pointer operator, which follows its operand (for example, P^). In addition to the obvious +, -, and Not operators, Delphi also offers:

^	Pointer
@	returns the address of a variable, function, procedure, or method; a pointer to its operand.
inc()	Increment
dec()	Decrement

The TYPE operator is also a unary operator and is valuated at compile time. The TYPE operator returns the size in bytes of the operand,

Unary Operator

Delphi Prism:

The obvious Prism unary operators are +, -, and Not.

+	Plus
-	Minus
Not	Bitwise Not
Inc()	Increment
Dec()	Decrement

Syntax Example:

var i: Integer := 1;
Inc(i);
MessageBox.Show("" + i);  //Displays 2

Delphi Prism Unary Operators

Inc() and Dec()

Inc will increment an ordinal or float named variable by 1 or a value you specify. Dec will decrement a named variable by 1 or a value you specify.

Examples:

var i: Integer := 1;
Inc(i);     //Increment by 1 (default).

Inc(i, 3);  //Increment by 3.

Dec(i);     //Decrement by 1 (default).

Dec(i, 3);  //Decrement by 3.

//The following displays 3.65.

var i: Double := 1;
Inc(i, 2.65);  //Increment by 2.65.

MessageBox.Show("" + i);

Java:

An operation with only one operand (a single input). The Java unary operators are ++, --, +, -, ~, and !.

+ Indicates positive value (numbers are positive without this)
- Negates an expression
++ Increment operator by 1
-- Decrement operator by 1
! Logical complement operator (inverts the value of a boolean)
~ Bitwise inversion operator (works on integral data types)

JavaScript:

An operation with only one operand (a single input). JavaScript unary operators include ++ and --. They can be used either before or after a variable as in: a++, b--, and ++a, and --b.

Examples:

iCounter++;

iCounter--;

++iCounter;

--iCounter;

Syntax Example:

var iCounter=0;

for (iCounter=0;iCounter<=5;iCounter++)
{
  document.write("Count is " + iCounter + "<br>");
}

JavaScript Unary Operators

Working Example

<html>

<body>

 
<script language=JavaScript> 
<!--
var iCounter=0;

for (iCounter=0;iCounter<=5;iCounter++)
{
document.write("Count is " + iCounter + "<br>");
}
//--> 
</script>

</body>

</html>

Perl:

An operation with only one operand (a single input). The following are the Perl unary operators: !, -, ~, +, \, &, and *.

! performs logical negation which is "not"
- performs arithmetic negation if the operand is numeric.
~ performs bitwise negation, that is 1's complement.
+ has no semantic effect whatsoever, even on strings.
\ creates a reference to whatsoever follows.
& Address of operator.
* Dereference address operator.

isTrue
