ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
Arithme c opera ons include addive and mul plica ve opera ons
Arithme cs = is the mathema cs of numbers (integers, ra onal numbers,
real numbers, complex numbers) under the opera ons of
arithme c symbols (+,-,*,/)
Examples:
// k = variable
// 5 = constant
sum of variables = i = j + 5;
difference of variables = i = j - k;
changing of sign = x = -x;
product of variable z = x * y;
divisions quo ent i = x / y;
divisions reminder t = x % y; minutes = me % 60;
addi on of 1 to the variable value i++;
addi on of 1 to the variable value ++i;
subtrac ng of 1 to the variable value i--;
subtrac ng of 1 to the variable value --i;
NB: >>> increment and decrement opera ons are applied only to variables, they
cannot be applied to constants, eg. 5++;
>>> The prefix increment (++i) and decrement (--i) are applied to the
the variable right before this variable is used in an expression
>>> The post incerement (i++) and decrement (i--) are applied to the
variable right a er this variable is used in an expression.

//EXAMPLES
double x = 100;
double a = x + 100;
double b = -x;
double c = x / 20;
double d = 108 % 20;
// double e = x++; // invalid expression
// x++; x--;
double f = ++x;
