Performing arithmetic operations

The * / + - operators multiply, divide, add, and subtract. Multiplication and division have precedence over addition and subtraction; otherwise, evaluation is left to right. Parentheses can be used to change the order of evaluation. The following are the arithmetic @functions.

Function
