Arithmetic operators

Create simple arithmetic operations

These operators let you take 2 numeric values, perform a calculation, and return a numeric value. This is mainly about basic arithmetic operations.

Operator	Description	Example
+	Addition (also for joining text)	1 + 2 = 3
-	Subtraction	3 - 2 = 1
*	Multiplication	2 * 3 = 6
/	Division	6 / 3 = 2
%	Modulo	13 % 5 = 3 (13 / 5 = 2 Reminder 3)
()	Parentheses (to change the order in which expressions are processed)	1 + 2 * 3 = 1 + (2 * 3) = 7 (1 + 2) * 3 = 9

• Ninox removes

  • superfluous parentheses—following the precedence rule "first the division, then the addition")—and

  • superfluous white spaces.

• However, Ninox also adds white spaces where they are deemed useful, e.g., for better readability).
