„
integer (123)
„
floating-point (123.45)
„
string constant (“character string”)
Arithmetic operators
Arithmetic operators perform math on two or more numeric values and calculate the
result. The arithmetic operators are:
Symbol
Operator
+
addition
Example
(For these examples, tag1 = 5 and tag2 = 7)
tag1 + tag2
returns a value of 12
You can also use this operator with string
operands. See page 20-7.
-
subtraction
tag1 - tag2
returns a value of -2
*
multiplication
tag1 * tag2
returns a value of 35
/
division
tag1 / tag2
returns a value of 0.7142857
MOD,%
modulus (remainder)
tag2 MOD tag1
returns a value of 2
The modulus operator is the remainder of one
number divided by another. In the example, the
remainder of 7 divided by 5 is 2; so 7 % 5 = 2
Important: This operator is for integers only,
not floating-point numbers.
