not_ binary_ operator
'{0}' isn't a binary operator.
Description
#The analyzer produces this diagnostic when an operator that can only be used as a unary operator is used as a binary operator.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the operator
~
can
only be used as a unary operator:
var a = 5 ~ 3;
Common fixes
#Replace the operator with the correct binary operator:
var a = 5 - 3;
