Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic between variables and/or values.
Given that y=5, the table below explains the arithmetic operators:
Operator | Description | Example | Result |
---|---|---|---|
+ | Addition | x=y+2 | x=7 |
- | Subtraction | x=y-2 | x=3 |
* | Multiplication | x=y*2 | x=10 |
/ | Division | x=y/2 | x=2.5 |
% | Modulus (division remainder) | x=y%2 | x=1 |
++ | Increment | x=++y | x=6 |
-- | Decrement | x=--y | x=4 |
