Operator

In computer programming, an operator is a symbol used to perform an operation on some data. For example, we can use the plus sign (+) to add two values: numbers, vectors, strings, arrays...

Operators are also used for logical operations and to calculate boolean expressions. For example, the greater than sign (>) returns true if the data on the left is greater than the data on the right side of the symbol.

var left := 5
var right := 3
print(left > right) # prints "true"

We also use operators to access data. For example, in GDScript, we use the dot to access properties and methods (member variables and member functions). To access the x position of a node, you would write position.x. The dot operator is used to access the property named x on the node's Vector2Vector2 property named position.
