Arguments

Returns

The mathematical result of the operation.

Description

These operators perform simple mathematical operations on their arguments.

+  gives the sum of the two arguments.

-  gives the difference between the first and second arguments.

*  gives the product of the two arguments.

/  gives the first argument divided by the second argument.

%  gives the modulus of the first argument by the second, that is, the remainder of the integer division of the first argument by the second.
