Arithmatic Operator


 

There are following arithmatic operators supported by PHP language:

Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20 then:

Operator Description Example
+ Adds two operands A + B will give 30
Subtracts second operand from the first A – B will give -10
* Multiply both operands A * B will give 200
/ Divide numerator by denumerator B / A will give 2
% Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer division B % A will give 0
++ Increment operator, increases integer value by one A++ will give 11
Decrement operator, decreases integer value by one A– will give 9

 

PHP Arithmatic Operators Example

 

<html>
<head><title>Arithmetical Operators</title><head>
<body>
<?php
    $a = 42;
    $b = 20;

    $c = $a + $b;
    echo "Addtion Operation Result: $c <br/>";
    $c = $a - $b;
    echo "Substraction Operation Result: $c <br/>";
    $c = $a * $b;
    echo "Multiplication Operation Result: $c <br/>";
    $c = $a / $b;
    echo "Division Operation Result: $c <br/>";
    $c = $a % $b;
    echo "Modulus Operation Result: $c <br/>";
    $c = $a++; 
    echo "Increment Operation Result: $c <br/>";
    $c = $a--; 
    echo "Decrement Operation Result: $c <br/>";
?>
</body>
</html>

This will produce following result

Addtion Operation Result: 62
Substraction Operation Result: 22
Multiplication Operation Result: 840
Division Operation Result: 2.1
Modulus Operation Result: 2
Increment Operation Result: 42
Decrement Operation Result: 43
