Operations

An operation combines one or more values with an operator to produce a result. Rux groups its operators into the categories below; each has a dedicated page with the full operator list, semantics, and examples.

A Shared Rule: No Implicit Conversion

Across every category, Rux never converts between distinct types on your behalf. The operands of a binary operation must already share a type; when they differ, convert one side explicitly with the as cast:

let count: int32 = 10;
let scale: int64 = 2;

let invalid = count * scale;            // error: different operand types
let valid = (count as int64) * scale;   // int64

This rule keeps the type of every expression visible in the source rather than hidden behind silent promotions.

Precedence

When several operators appear in one expression, precedence decides the grouping — for example ** binds tighter than *, which binds tighter than +. Each page summarises the precedence relevant to its operators; the Operator Precedence table lists every level in one place. Use parentheses whenever the intended order is not obvious.
