OPERATORS(3clc)

🌸 OPERATORS — a page from the OpenCL Manual (section 3clc, bestie) 🌸

okay so welcome to the operator page, bestie 💖 this is where OpenCL keeps all its little math-and-logic symbols, and yes it is giving "cheat sheet" energy and yes i am obsessed.

✨ NAME ✨

Operators — the operators used in OpenCL. 🎀

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: these are all the operators that show up in OpenCL. if you wanna know how to actually use them (the usage, the rules, the whole vibe), the page says to please go check the OpenCL specification[1]. that's the receipts, bestie, i don't make the rules. 🫶

here's the full lineup, no skips, no cuts:

• + — add ➕
• - — subtract ➖
• * — multiply ✖️
• / — divide ➗
• % — remainder
• + — unary plus
• - — unary minus
• ++ — post- and pre-increment ⬆️
• -- — post- and pre-decrement ⬇️
• > — relational greater-than
• < — relational less-than
• >= — relational greater-than or equal-to
• <= — relational less-than or equal-to
• == — equal
• != — not equal
• & — bitwise and
• | — bitwise or
• ^ — bitwise not
• ~ — bitwise not
• && — logical and
• || — logical or
• ^^ — logical exclusive or
• ! — logical unary not
• ?: — ternary selection
• >> — right shift
• << — left shift
• sizeof — size of
• , — comma
• * — dereference
• & — address-of
• = — assignment

(yes, "bitwise not" really does show up twice, for ^ and for ~ — that's literally how the page lists them, i'm just the messenger 💀)

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

bestie, listen: except for the sizeof operator, the half data type cannot be used with any of the operators described in this section. not a single one. that's the rule, no cap. 🚫
