Operators are special symbols used to operate on values. The operators that deal specifically with numbers can be grouped into five types: arithmetic, assignment, comparison, logical, and bitwise operators.

Arithmetic Operators

The arithmetic operators include the four basic arithmetic operations, as well as the modulus operator (%), which is used to obtain the division remainder.

int 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 ...
