Addition
Represented by the plus sign. Takes two numeric operands and combines
their quantity or value.
These are operations whose operands are numbers (integers, floating point numbers, etc.).
Represented by the plus sign. Takes two numeric operands and combines
their quantity or value.
Represented by the dash sign. Takes two numeric operands and takes
away the quantity of the second from the quantity of the first.
Represented by the cross sign. Takes two numeric operands, say X and
Y. X times Y (X multiplied by Y) results in adding X copies of Y
together, or adding Y copies of X together, for it has the
commutative property.
Represented by a slash. Is the inverse of the multiplication. Takes
two numeric operands, say X and Y. X divided by Y results in the
number of groups of size Y one can form out of a group of size X.
Given two numbers, it returns the largest one in value.
Given two numeric parameters, it returns the smallest one in value.
Given two numeric parameters X and Y, Avg(X, Y) returns the
following: (X + Y)/2 where + is the addition and / the division
explained above.
Takes a real number and returns its numerical value without regard of
its sign.
Takes two numeric parameters, a floating point number and an integer,
and returns an approximate representation of the first using only as
many decimal numbers as the second parameter's value.
Takes two numeric operands and the result is the first number
expressed as a fraction of the second. For instance, X % of Y = (X x
Y)/100.
Takes just one numeric operand X since the second is always two
(square). It returns a number R such that R2 = X, meaing R
x R = X.
Takes two numeric operands X and Y, and it returns the remnant of the
division of X by Y.
