Arithmetic Operators

Perl Arithmetic Operators:

Assume variable $a holds 10 and variable $b holds 20 then:

Operator	Description	Example
+	Addition - Adds values on either side of the operator	$a + $b will give 30
-	Subtraction - Subtracts right hand operand from left hand operand	$a - $b will give -10
*	Multiplication - Multiplies values on either side of the operator	$a * $b will give 200
/	Division - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand	$b / $a will give 2
%	Modulus - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainder	$b % $a will give 0
**	Exponent - Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators	$a**$b will give 10 to the power 20
