Overview

An overview to the main topics that we'll learn in this class. Coding basics covered everything about variables. Now it is time for us to move to Operators. Before we begin this course, I would suggest you take the exam questions for Coding Basics and score at least 80. In operators, we mostly deal with variables. In fact, we'll use variables every now and then through all the future courses. You should therefore have the basics down for all types of variables. After gaining command in coding basics (1 and 2), you can start this course without any hesitation.

Operators

When it comes to operators, we already know what an operator basically is. Before we proceed, we quickly go back to what we learned about them in the previous course. An operator can be used to perform operations on given data. For example, the ' ' operator is used to perform addition. We'll discuss various types of operators and their uses later in this course.

Variables

You might wonder why variables are included in this course. As we discussed earlier, variables are the core part of Flash and are always associated with it. Here there is no need to go deeply into them; we'll just learn how various operations can be performed on different types of variables using operators. You can see every basic concept is repeated one way or the other in all the courses.

Nothing

Nothing can be referred to something that is empty. It's a new concept in this course and we'll have a clear discussion about it during the actual video. Smooth Operators is one of the most important topics in any programming language: try to learn it to the core and if you have any doubts, we are always there to help you through our community support.

Video Transcript

00:00And I'm really, really excited that you're in hour number four, where we're actually
00:03going to be doing some real programming, where we're going to have to start thinking.
00:07It's not going to be that easy.
00:09And our next title is called Smooth Operator.
00:11Smooth Operator is all about operators.
00:13And before we talk about them, let's make sure that you're ready for this.
00:16If you haven't taken the exams on everythingaffiliate.com yet, as always, I really, really encourage
00:22you to do that because it's going to help you know if you really know what you're
00:24up to.
00:25Now, we're assuming at this stage that you already know what primitive variables are.
00:30And what that means is you're comfortable enough with them to actually create your own
00:34variables.
00:35So if you are not comfortable working with variables yet, you really should go back
00:38and check the videos.
00:40Now, if you think you are ready for it, let's talk about what we're actually going to
00:44talk about in the next hour.
00:45So the first topic that we're going to be talking about, which is really the title of
00:48our course, is operators.
00:50And we're going to cover a lot of things about operators.
00:53We're going to look at different types of equality operators, rational operators,
00:57logical operators.
00:59The names aren't as important as knowing what those three types of operators do.
01:03They're really, really important in Flash.
01:05And we're going to cover those three, and we're going to see them in action.
01:08Next topic that we're going to talk about, we're going to go back to our variables.
01:12And we're going to integrate our variables with our operators and see how do we work
01:15with operators with our variables a little bit more deeply, integrating it with
01:19operators.
01:20The next topic after that is going to be a quite a weird one.
01:24We're going to be talking about nothing, which is not very easy to understand.
01:27But in programming, there are different types of nothing.
01:30And we're going to learn about those different types of nothing and see when
01:33is nothing something, and when is nothing really nothing.
01:37So this is going to be a very, very interesting title, a very important
01:40title.
01:41And as always, exams, support, and community, you can always find at
01:46EverythingAffiliate.com.
