* [[Relational operator|Relational]]: such as [[Greater-than sign|greater than]], <code>a {{red|&gt;}} b</code>
* [[Mathematical logic|Logic]]: such as <code>a {{red|AND}} b</code> or <code>a {{red|&amp;&amp;}} b</code>
* [[Assignment (computer science)|Assignment]]: such as <code>a {{red|&equals;}} b</code> or <code>a {{red|:&equals;}} b</code>
* [[Three-way comparison]] (aka spaceship): <code>x {{red|&lt;&equals;&gt;}} y</code>

;Program structure operators
* [[Record (computer science)|Record]] or [[Object (computer science)|object]] [[Field (computer science)|field]] access: such as <code>a{{red|.}}b</code>
* [[scope resolution operator|Scope resolution]]: such as <code>a{{red|::}}b</code> or <code>a{{red|.}}b</code>

;Conditional operators
