Arithmetic operators are used to perform calculations. The opposite page shows an
overview. You should be aware of the following:
■ Divisions performed with integral operands will produce integral results; for example,
7/2 computes to 3. If at least one of the operands is a floating-point number,
the result will also be a floating-point number; e.g., the division 7.0/2 produces
an exact result of 3.5.
■ Remainder division is only applicable to integral operands and returns the remainder
of an integral division. For example, 7%2 computes to 1.
