## Operators in Go

Operators in Go are special symbols used to perform operations on operands. Go has several types of operators, including arithmetic, logical, and comparison operators.

### Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations:

- Addition (`+`)
- Subtraction (`-`)
- Multiplication (`*`)
- Division (`/`)
- Remainder (`%`)

```go
sum := 5 + 3  // sum is 8
```

### Comparison Operators

Comparison operators compare two operands:

- Equal to (`==`)
- Not equal to (`!=`)
- Greater than (`>`)
- Less than (`<`)
- Greater than or equal to (`>=`)
- Less than or equal to (`<=`)

```go
isEqual := (5 == 3)  // isEqual is false
```

### Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements:

- And (`&&`)
- Or (`||`)
- Not (`!`)

```go
result := (5 > 3) && (5 < 10)  // result is true
```

### Conclusion

Operators are fundamental in Go for manipulating values and creating logical expressions. Understanding how to use them effectively is crucial for programming logic and calculations.
