Mathematical operators
The following mathematical operators are available:
Operator | Meaning | Example | Result |
= | Assignment | A = 10 | 10 |
+ | Addition | A = 1 + 2 | 3 |
- | Subtraction | A = 5 - 2 | 3 |
* | Multiplication | A = 3 * 5 | 15 |
/ | Division | A = 8/2 | 4 |
** | Exponent | A = 3**2 | 9 |
% | Modulo | A = 17 % 5 | 2 |
() | Parentheses | A = 2*(1+2) | 6 |
In formulas, the mathematical order of operations applies (exponents before multiplication/division before addition/subtraction):
2 * 3 + 4 = (2 * 3) + 4
3 * 4 ** 2 = 3 * (4 ** 2)
