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. |
