| ☜ | Arithmetic Operators1977 Version of ANSI Standard | ☞ | ||||
The binary operators + - * / \ # are called the arithmetic binary operators. They operate on the numeric interpretations of their operands, and they produce numeric (in one case, integer) results.
| + | produces the algebraic sum. |
| - | produces the algebraic difference. * produces the algebraic product. |
| / | produces the algebraic quotient. Note that the sign of the quotient is negative if and only if one argument is positive and one argument is negative. Division by zero is erroneous. |
| \ | produces the integer interpretation of the result of the above division. |
| # | produces the value of the left argument
modulo the right argument. It is defined only for nonzero values
of its right argument, as follows. A # B = A - (B * floor (A/B) ) where floor(x) = the largest integer < x. |
