VBScript Operators

Print Version

In previous lessons, we've used the equals operator to assign a value to a variable. We've also used it to perform a test against a given condition (for example, the If statements).

In VBScript, operators are used to perform an operation. For example, an operator could be used to assign a value to a variable. An operator could also be used to compare two values.

Below is a listing of VBScript operators and a brief description of them. Don't worry if you don't understand all of them at this stage - just bookmark this page for reference and return whenever you need to.
