Which one of the following is not a logical operator ?
Explanation
Logical operators, also known as Boolean operators, are used to manipulate truth values (True/False) and include NOT (negation), AND (conjunction), and OR (disjunction). These operators are fundamental to Boolean algebra and programming logic. Specifically, the NOT operator is a unary operator that reverses a truth value, while AND and OR are binary operators that combine two expressions. In contrast, Division is classified as an arithmetic operator [1]. Arithmetic operators are used for mathematical calculations involving numeric values, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division [1]. While logical operators evaluate the truth of conditions, arithmetic operators like division perform numerical operations to produce a numeric result [1]. Therefore, Division is not a logical operator.
