JavaScript contains the standard arithmetic operators plus ones for modulus, increment, decrement and unary negation.
- %
This is the modulus operator which returns the integer remainder of dividing the preceding operand by the one following it.
- *
This is the standard multiplication operator and it returns the product of two numerical values (either literals or variables).
- +
This is the standard addition operator and returns the sum of two numerical values (either literals or variables).
- ++
This is the increment operator and is used to increment (add one to) its operand.
- -
This is the standard subtraction operator and it subtracts one number from another.
- --
This is the decrement operator which decrements (deducts one from) its operand.
- /
This is the standard division operator which divides one number by another.
