Infix operators
Infix operators are placed in a programme between two operands. The majority of the infix operators are binary, and there is a single ternary operator, which expects three operands.
The simplest example of the binary operator is an addition operator
+. On the right and left sides it expects two values, for
example, two variables: $a + $b. It is important to
understand that the same symbol or the same sequence of characters may
be either an infix or a prefix operator depending on the context. In the
example with a plus, the unary counterpart is a unary plus operator,
which coerces the operand to a number: +$str.
