Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are symbols used to perform basic mathematical operations in programming and mathematics. The main arithmetic operators are addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus (%).

Addition (+)

The addition operator is used to add two or more numbers together. For example:

Subtraction (-)

The subtraction operator is used to subtract one number from another. For example:

Multiplication (*)

The multiplication operator is used to multiply two numbers. For example:

Division (/)

The division operator is used to divide one number by another. For example:

Modulus (%)

The modulus operator returns the remainder of a division operation. For example:

Study Guide

• Understand the meaning and usage of each arithmetic operator.
• Practice solving simple arithmetic problems using these operators.
• Learn how to combine and use multiple arithmetic operators in an expression.
• Understand the order of operations (PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) when using multiple operators in a single expression.
• Practice solving word problems that involve arithmetic operations.

Understanding and mastering arithmetic operators is essential for solving mathematical problems and writing computer programs that involve mathematical calculations.
