In C++, the C++20 revision adds the spaceship operator <=>, which returns a value that encodes whether the 2 values are equal, less, greater, or unordered and can return different types depending on the strictness of the comparison. [3] The name's origin is due to it reminding Randal L. Schwartz of the spaceship in an HP BASIC Star Trek game. [4]
A strict equality operator is also often available in those languages, returning true only for values with identical or equivalent types (in PHP, 4 === "4" is false although 4 == "4" is true). [3] [4] For languages where the number 0 may be interpreted as false, this operator may simplify things such as checking for zero (as x == 0 would be ...
The detailed semantics of "the" ternary operator as well as its syntax differs significantly from language to language. A top level distinction from one language to another is whether the expressions permit side effects (as in most procedural languages) and whether the language provides short-circuit evaluation semantics, whereby only the selected expression is evaluated (most standard ...
Apple's Swift once supported these operators, but they have been depreciated since version 2.2 [13] and removed as of version 3.0. [14] [15] Pascal, Delphi, Modula-2, and Oberon uses functions (inc(x) and dec(x)) instead of operators. Notably Python and Rust do not support these operators.
In computer science, an operator-precedence parser is a bottom-up parser that interprets an operator-precedence grammar.For example, most calculators use operator-precedence parsers to convert from the human-readable infix notation relying on order of operations to a format that is optimized for evaluation such as Reverse Polish notation (RPN).

The boolean values True and False were added to the language in Python 2.2.1 as constants (subclassed from 1 and 0) and were changed to be full blown keywords in Python 3. The binary comparison operators such as == and > return either True or False. The boolean operators and and or use minimal evaluation.
Node "5^(4^(3^". Term 2 is read. Node "5^(4^(3^2". No tokens to read. Apply associativity to produce parse tree "5^(4^(3^2))". This can then be evaluated depth-first, starting at the top node (the first ^): The evaluator walks down the tree, from the first, over the second, to the third ^ expression. It evaluates as: 3 2 = 9.
