CRMScript assignment operators

The assignment operators store a value in a variable (on the left side of the operator).

The standard assignment operator is =. Also, CRMScript has operators that combine an arithmetic operation with the assignment for a more compact notation.

Operator	Description	Same as
+=	add and assign	x = x + 2
-=	subtract and assign	x = x - 2

CRMScript arithmetic operators

The arithmetic operators do math with numbers, either Integer or Float.

Operator	Description
+	add
-	subtract
*	multiply
/	divide
%	reminder
++	increment
--	decrement

CRMScript string operators

The + operator concatenates 2 strings.

String text1 = "Super";
String text2 = "Office";
String fullText = text1 + text2;

The result of fullText will be SuperOffice.

The += operator appends the right-side string to the left-side variable.

fullText += " AS";

This will change our existing string to SuperOffice AS.

CRMScript comparison operators

Comparison operators are used to test for true or false. They are typically used in conditional statements: you compare 2 values and the result determines what happens next.

Operator	Description
==	equal
!=	not equal
<	less than
>	greater than
<=	less than or equal
>=	greater than or equal

CRMScript logical operators

The logical operators are commonly used with boolean values and variables (Bool).

Operator	Description	Use
&&	logical AND	expr1 && expr2
\|	logical OR	expr1 \| expr2
!	logical NOT	!expr

Operator precedence

CRMScript operators follow the same precedence as in mathematics. For example, multiplication is done before addition.

Operators at the same precedence level are evaluated left-to-right. If you want to group expressions, use parentheses to specify the resolution.

Integer x = 5 + 2 * 3;
Integer y = ( 5 + 2 ) * 3;

In this example, x is 11 while y is 21. The only difference between the assignment statements being the parentheses.
