Overview
Arithmetic operators are used to perform calculations on numerical values, as well as to concatenate two or more string values.
The following is a list of Arithmetic Operators:
- + (Addition) : To add numerical values and to concatenate string values.
Example:
a=5;
b=5;
c=a+b; // c= 10
First_Name="John";
Last_Name="Smith";
Name = First_Name + " " + Last_Name; // Name = John Smith - - (Subtraction) : To perform subtraction between numerical values.
Example:
a=5;
b=5;
c=a-b; // c= 0 - * (Multiplication) : To perform multiplication of numerical values.
Example:
a=5;
b=5;
c=a*b; // c= 25 - / (Division) : To perform division of numerical values.
Example:
a=5;
b=5;
c=a/b; // c= 1 - % (Modulus) : To calculate the remainder when a numerical value is divided by another.
Example:
a=5;
b=5;
c=a%b; // c= 0
Data types applicable to Arithmetic Operators
- Number
- Decimal
- String (only for 'Addition' operator)
- Date-Time (only for 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' operators)
