Prerequisite Concepts |
Arithmetic operators are used for performing arithmetic on numeric expressions. OmniMark supports the following five arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modulo.
The addition operator ("+" or plus
) implements addition in OmniMark. "+" is the preferred form.
The subtraction operator ("-" or minus
) implements subtraction in OmniMark. "-" is the preferred form. Note: since the hyphen character used in variable names is the same character as the minus sign, OmniMark programmers must be careful to separate minus signs from names. For instance, a - b
will be interpreted as a subtraction, while a-b
will be interpreted as a name.
The multiplication operator ("*" or times
) implements multiplication in OmniMark. "*" is the preferred form.
The division operator ("/" or divide
) implements division in OmniMark. "/" is the preferred form.
The modulus operator (modulo
) implements the operation of taking the modulus of a number with respect to a base value. The modulus is the remainder that you get if you divide the number by the base value.
