Description

The Rust book has an appendix that details language operators and symbols in a table with an example of each operator's syntax and a description of its use. I think new users of the Sway language could benefit from the same type of index.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Sway book structure in the repository. Then, compile a list of all operators and symbols used in the Sway language, referencing the Sway compiler source if needed. Model the table after the Rust book's appendix, including syntax examples and brief descriptions. Create a new markdown file and add a link in the book's table of contents. Specifically, look at the current book's summary.md or toc.yml to add the new appendix.
