Description:

An Operator that performs an Arithmetic conjunction on the surrounding expressions.

Syntax:

The following shows the format of the Arithmetic Operator syntax.

	Visual Basic & BASIC	C & Java
Addition	<exp1> + <exp2>	<exp1> + <exp2>;
Subtraction	<exp1> - <exp2>	<exp1> - <exp2>;
Multiplication	<exp1> * <exp2>	<exp1> * <exp2>;
Division	<exp1> / <exp2>	<exp1> / <exp2>;
Modulus	<exp1> Mod <exp2>	<exp1> % <exp2>;
Max	<exp1> Max <exp2>	<exp1> Max <exp2>;
Min	<exp1> Min <exp2>	<exp1> Min <exp2>;

The following table lists the elements of the Arithmetic Operator syntax.

Element Description

<exp1> Any valid expression.

<exp2> Any valid expression.

Operation:

Addition adds one number to another.

Subtraction subtracts one number from another.

Multiplications multiplies one number with another.

Division divides one number by another.

Modulus divides one number by another and returns the remainder.

Max takes the maximum of the two.

Min takes the minimum of the two.

Remarks:

Arithmetic Operator can also be done with the oMath Object.

Example:

In the following example demonstrates the use of arithmetic operators.

Visual Basic

C & Java

Dim A As Word
Dim B As Byte
Dim C As Byte
Dim D As Byte

Sub Main()
  A = B + C * B / D
  A = B Mod C  
  A = B Max C  
  A = B Min C  
End Sub

Word A; 
Byte B; 
Byte C; 
Byte D; 

Void Main(Void){
  A = B + C * B / D;
  A = B Mod C;  
  A = B Max C;
  A = B Min C;  
}

BASIC

A As Word
B As Byte
C As Byte
D As Byte

A = B + C * B / D
A = B Mod C  
A = B Max C  
A = B Min C
