  Nonclassical properties of photon added and photon subtracted squeezed
coherent states have been compared with specific focus on the higher order
nonclassicalities, such as higher order squeezing, higher order sub-Poissonian
photon statistics, higher order antibunching. It is observed that both photon
added and photon subtracted squeezed coherent states are highly nonclassical as
they satisfy criteria for all of the above mentioned nonclassicalities and a
set of other criteria including negativity of Wigner function, Klyshko's
criterion and Agarwal's $(A_{3})$ parameter. Further, the amount of
nonclassicality present in these two types of states has been compared
quantitatively using a measure of nonclassicality known as nonclassical volume.
Variation in the amount of nonclassicality with the number of photon(s)
added/subtracted is also investigated, and it is found that the addition of
photons makes the squeezed coherent state more nonclassical than what is done
by the subtraction of photons.
