Arithmetic Operators in JavaScript

Purpose

• Arithmetic operators perform basic mathematical calculations on numbers.

Common Arithmetic Operators:

1. Addition (+): Adds two numbers together.
   • let sum = 5 + 3; // sum will be 8
2. Subtraction (-): Subtracts the second number from the first.
   • let difference = 10 – 4; // difference will be 6.
3. Multiplication (*): Multiplies two numbers.
   • let product = 5 * 3; // product will be 15
4. Division (/): Divides the first number by the second.
   • let quotient = 10 / 2; // quotient will be 5
5. Modulus (%): Returns the remainder after division.
   • let remainder = 10 % 3; // remainder will be 1
6. Exponentiation (**): Raises a number to the power of another.
   • let result = 2 ** 3; // result will be 8 (2 raised to the power of 3)

Example:

let num1 = 10;
let num2 = 5;
let sum = num1 + num2;
 
let difference = num1 - num2;
let product = num1 * num2;
let quotient = num1 / num2;
let remainder = num1 % num2;
let power = num1 ** 2; // 10 raised to the power of 2

console.log("Sum:", sum); 
console.log("Difference:", difference);
console.log("Product:", product);
console.log("Quotient:", quotient);
console.log("Remainder:", remainder);
console.log("Power:", power);
