Arithmetic Expression

Arithmetic expressions are simple mathematical calculations, where a numeric result is returned after the expression was evaluated. They may also be chained based on their order of precedence, where each item is one by one evaluated.

Besides arithmetic expression there are also operator modified assignment, which can be used similarly by directly assigning the result to a variable.

Syntax

"Hello " * 3; // -> "Hello Hello Hello "

Divide Operator

25 / 4; // -> 6.25

Power-To Operator

2 ** 8; // -> 256

Modulo Operator
