They are used in solving arithmetic’s / mathematics. Table arithmetic operations
| + | Addition | A = A + B | A = A + B |
| – | Subtraction | A = A-B | A = A –B |
| * | Multiplication | Y = 2* X | Y = 2x |
| / | Division | T = X*Y | T = xy/ |
| ^ or ** | Exponentiation | Y= X*B^2 | Y = XB2 |
Note that the Hierarchy of Arithmetic operations are in the order of
(i) Exponentiation
(ii) Negation
(iii) Multiplication
(iv) Integer division
(v) Modules arithmetic
(vi) Addition and subtraction.
