This section provides an example of basic arithmetic operations in JavaScript. Arithmetic operations are fundamental to programming and JavaScript supports various arithmetic operators.

Basic Arithmetic Operators

Here are some common arithmetic operators in JavaScript:

  • Addition (+): Adds two values together.
  • Subtraction (-): Subtracts the second value from the first.
  • Multiplication (*): Multiplies two values.
  • Division (/): Divides the first value by the second.
  • Modulus (%): Divides the first value by the second and returns the remainder.

Example

Below is an example of how to use these operators in JavaScript:

let a = 10;
let b = 5;

console.log(a + b);  // Output: 15
console.log(a - b);  // Output: 5
console.log(a * b);  // Output: 50
console.log(a / b);  // Output: 2
console.log(a % b);  // Output: 0

Practice

To practice, try modifying the values of a and b in the example above and observe the results.
