 Arithmetic operators:

  • Arithmetic operators take numerical values (either literals or variables) as their operands and return a single numerical value.
  • There are five basic operations in arithmetic, namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and modulus.
  • An arithmetic operator is a mathematical function that takes two operands and performs a calculation on them.
  • They are used in common arithmetic and most computer languages contain a set of such operators that can be used within equations to perform a number of types of sequential calculation.
