Arithmetic Operators

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:

  1. a=5;
  2. b=5;
  3. c=a+b;                    // c= 10
  4. First_Name="John";
  5. Last_Name="Smith";
  6. Name = First_Name + " " + Last_Name;                      // Name = John Smith

- (Subtraction) : To perform subtraction between numerical values.

Example:

  1. a=5;
  2. b=5;
  3. c=a-b;                     // c= 0

* (Multiplication) : To perform multiplication of numerical values.

Example:

  1. a=5;
  2. b=5;
  3. c=a*b;                     // c= 25

/ (Division) : To perform division of numerical values.

Example:

  1. a=5;
  2. b=5;
  3. c=a/b;                     // c= 1

% (Modulus) : To calculate the remainder when a numerical value is divided by another.

Example:

  1. a=5;
  2. b=5;
  3. 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)
