Time	Narration
0:00	Welcome to this tutorial on basic arithmetic operators.
0:03	I'll first go through plus, minus, multiply and divide operations.
0:09	These are written as p lus, minus, multiply as an asterisk and divide as forward slash.
0:16	So, I will have 2 variables.
0:19	I'll create a variable called "num1" and I'll save that as value equal to "10" and "num2" is equal to "2".
0:28	So, these are both integer numbers with no decimal point.
0:33	Okay, now, say I want to add "num1" and "num2" together.
0:38	So I echo out the answer of "num1" added to "num2".
0:44	Let's test it out.
0:50	So, that's "12". 10 and 2, num1 and num2, when 10 and 2 are added, the answer is "12".
0:54	Okay now let's try minus. We will just replace the minus symbol there.
1:01	Refresh and that will be "8".
1:04	Now lets try multiplication. 10 times 2 is 20 and we've got "20".
1:10	Next, 10 divided by 2 is just half of 10 which is "5".
1:16	Now, what we can do is we can add something on the end of this.
1:23	So, let's say this is divided by num2.
1:27	Now, what I think this operation will do is, it will add "num1" and "num2", so that is add 10 and 2 which will give us 12 and then 12 divided by 2.
1:39	So, 12 divided by 2 should give 6.
1:42	But what this actually does is it takes num2 and divides it by num2 which will give 1 and add num1 to that.
1:55	So, that means, instead of 6 we will get 11.
2:00	Now, the reason for this is that division operator will always work before addition operator. The same with multiply
2:09	Now, to solve this, we should put brackets.
2:14	The brackets will say - we'll take this operation first, do whatever is in here and then continue to divide by whatever this could be an integer or a variable.
2:27	So, here what it will do is num1 plus num2 which is 10 plus 2 which gives us 12 divided by 2 which should give us 6.
2:38	Let's refresh that and we can see that it worked!
2:43	So, these are the basic arithmetic operators which are simple to use.
2:47	If you come across any problems, always verify your calculations with a calculator to make sure they're working.
2:55	We'll see a few more of these soon.
2:57	We'll learn about the increment arithmetic operator which increments by 1 but I'll use that a little later.
3:05	So, practice these and make sure you learn them well.
3:09	Thanks for watching. This is Arvind dubbing for the Spoken Tutorial project.
