3-2: Arithmetic Operators (continued)

So arithmetic operators are used on the right hand side of a statement as part of an expression, the result (value) of which is assigned using the assignment operator to some named value such as a property of an object.

Table 3-1 contains most of the operators used in arithmetic.

Table 3-1: Partial List of Operators

Operator	Usage	Description
+	result=expr1+expr2	normally used for addition of numeric values, also catenates string values
-	result=expr1-expr2	performs subtraction of numeric values
*	result=expr1*expr2	performs multiplication of numeric values
/	result=expr1/expr2	performs division of numeric values, returns a floating point result
\	result=expr1\expr2	performs division of numeric values, returns an integer result
^	result=expr1^exponent	raises a number to the power of an exponent; if expr1 is negative exponent must be positive
Mod	result=expr1 Mod expr2	divides two numbers and returns only the remainder; values of expr1 and expr2 are rounded to integers
