Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are symbols used to perform mathematical operations in programming or mathematics.

• Addition (+): The addition operator is represented by the plus sign. It is used to add two numbers together. For example, 3 + 4 = 7.
• Subtraction (-): The subtraction operator is represented by the minus sign. It is used to subtract one number from another. For example, 7 - 4 = 3.
• Multiplication (*): The multiplication operator is represented by the asterisk. It is used to multiply two numbers. For example, 3 * 4 = 12.
• Division (/): The division operator is represented by the forward slash. It is used to divide one number by another. For example, 12 / 4 = 3.
• Modulus (%): The modulus operator is represented by the percent sign. It returns the remainder of a division operation. For example, 12 % 5 = 2 (because 12 divided by 5 equals 2 with a remainder of 2).

These arithmetic operators are fundamental in performing mathematical calculations in programming and are also commonly used in everyday mathematics.

It's important to understand how to use these operators to perform calculations and solve problems in both programming and mathematical contexts.
