| 23. 1. 5. Arithmetic Operators |
|
|
Arithmetic operators are used for mathematical computations. |
| Operator | Example | Usage | | ** | 10**5 | The exponentiation operator. 10**5 = 100,000. | | * | 2*3 | The multiplication operator. 2 * 3 = 6. | | / | 6/2 | The division operator. 6/2 = 3. | | + | 2+2 | The addition operator. 2+2 = 4. | | - | 4-2 | The subtraction operator. 4 -2 = 2. | | - | -5 | The negation operator. | | + | +5 | It complements the negation operator. |
