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
