my question is very simple. we all know the "#"sign
which is used to get the amount of something.
now my question is:
is there any other like ‘sings’ like that in Roblox or not?

well, there are a bunch of different things, but they’re not necessarily all prefixes. A lot of the signs are used when formatting strings.

The name you’re looking for is “unary operators” (as opposed to e.g. “binary operators” like a + b)
There are a few like #, -, and not .

| Symbol | Is equal to | == | Check whether the conditions are equal |
| Symbol | Greater than | > | Check whether the first condition is greater than the second one |
| Symbol | Less than | < | Check whether the first condition is less than the second one |
| Symbol | Greater than or equal to | >= | Check whether the first condition is greater than or equal to the second one |
| Symbol | Less than or equal to | <= | Check whether the first condition is less than or equal to the second one |

| Symbol | Division | / | Divide the first value by the second value |
| Symbol | Exponentiation | ^ | Take the first value as the base and the second value as the power |
| Symbol | Modulus | % | Take the first value as the dividend and the second value as the divisor |
| Symbol | Unary negation | - | Essentially used for the subtract operation, but this one is used for converting the number to signed |
| Symbol | Concatenation | ⋅⋅ | Concatenate two strings |
| Symbol | Compound addition | += | Add the assigned value to the left-hand value |
