Examples
x = y * (z - 1) / 2;
num = (num + 1) % maximum;
++counter;
total += 5;
Points to Note
- Arithmetic in C++ is similar to that in most other languages:
+ and - do addition and subtraction, * and / do multiplication and division, % does division yielding the remainder
* and / take precedence over + and -, as you would expect; brackets can be used to control the order of evaluation- Division of two integers in C++ yields an integer result!
++ (two plus signs) can be used to increment a variable's value by 1; -- (two minus signs) can be used to decrement its value by 1+= combines addition with assignment, so that total += 5 is short for total = total + 5-=, *= and /= operators are also available
