4.3 Operators

Gmsh’s operators are similar to the corresponding operators in C and C++. Here is the list of the unary, binary and ternary operators currently implemented.

operator-unary-left:

-

Unary minus.

!

Logical not.

operator-unary-right:

++

Post-incrementation.

--

Post-decrementation.

operator-binary:

^

Exponentiation.

*

Multiplication.

/

Division.

%

Modulo.

+

Addition.

-

Subtraction.

==

Equality.

!=

Inequality.

>

Greater.

>=

Greater or equality.

<

Less.

<=

Less or equality.

&&

Logical ‘and’.

||

Logical ‘or’. (Warning: the logical ‘or’ always implies the evaluation of both arguments. That is, unlike in C or C++, the second operand of || is evaluated even if the first one is true).

operator-ternary-left:

?

operator-ternary-right:

:

The only ternary operator, formed by operator-ternary-left and operator-ternary-right, returns the value of its second argument if the first argument is non-zero; otherwise it returns the value of its third argument.

The evaluation priorities are summarized below(5) (from stronger to weaker, i.e., * has a highest evaluation priority than +). Parentheses () may be used anywhere to change the order of evaluation:

  1. (), [], ., #
  2. ^
  3. !, ++, --, - (unary)
  4. *, /, %
  5. +, -
  6. <, >, <=, >=
  7. ==, !=
  8. &&
  9. ||
  10. ?:
  11. =, +=, -=, *=, /=
