2.2 Arithmetic Operators

These are just your typical math operators. Very important in any programming language. Know them well!


let x = 5;
let y = 10;

x + y; //returns 15

y - x; //returns 5

x * y; //returns 50

y / x; //returns 2

x % 2; //returns 1

x++; //returns 6

x--; //returns 4

+ Operator performs concatenation operation when one of the operands is of string type.

The following example shows how + operator performs operation on operands of different data types.


let a = 5, b = "Hello ", c = "World!", d = 10;

a + b; // "5Hello "

b + c; // "Hello World!"

a + d; // 15

⚠️

When concatenating a number with a string, it won't actually do math. Only when a number is added with another number will it do math.
