Operators

Arithmetic Operators
There are four basic arithmetic operators, as well as the modulus operator (%), which is used to obtain the division remainder.
float x = 3 + 2; /* 5 - addition */ x = 3 - 2; /* 1 - subtraction */ x = 3 * 2; /* 6 - multiplication */ x = 3 / 2; /* 1 - division */ x = 3 % 2; /* 1 - modulus (division remainder) */
Notice that the division sign gives ...
