Arithmetic operators
What are Arithmetic Operators?¶
Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication. They are the most basic building blocks of programming logic.
| Operator | Operation | Description |
|---|---|---|
+ |
Addition | Adds two values together |
- |
Subtraction | Subtracts the right value from the left value |
* |
Multiplication | Multiplies two values |
/ |
Division | Divides the left value by the right value |
% |
Modulus | Returns the remainder after division |
Note: While the basic behavior is the same across languages, how they handle things like "Integer Division" (e.g., 5 / 2) can vary.
