Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions much the same way they are used in algebra.

Here’s a list of them:

  1. Addition (+): Adds the values on either side of the operator.
A = 10, B = 5;
A+B = 15

2. Subtractions (-): Subtracts values on either side of the operator.

A-B = 5

3. Multiplication (*): Multiplies values on either side of the operator.

A*B = 50

4. Division (/): Divides the left-hand operand by the right-hand operand.

A/B = 2

5. Modulus (%): Returns the remainder of a division operation.

A%B = 0
//10 / 5 is 2 with a remainder 0

5. Increment (++): Increases the value of the operand by 1

A++ = 11

6. Decrement (–): Decreases the value of the operand by 1

B-- = 4
