Arithmetic Operators

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

    x = 3 - 2; /* 1 - subtraction */
    x = 3 * 2; /* 6 - multiplication */
    x = 3 / 2; /* 1 - division */
    x = 3 % 2; /* 1 - modulus (division remainder) ...
