Arithmetic operators
The arithmetic operators allow us to do basic math like addition, subtraction, division, etc. Dart supports the following operators:
| Name | Operator |
|---|---|
| Addition | + |
| Subtraction | - |
| Multiplication | * |
| Division | / |
| Division with integer result | ~/ |
| Modulus | % |
Everything should be fine with how addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division work. But what about the Modulus and the Division with integer result? Let's take a look at what they do:
Modulus %
The result of the modulus % operator is the reminder of the division, for example:
print( 16 % 3 );
// Result is 1
Parts of the division
Division with integer result ~/
The result of division with integer result ~/ will return only the integer number and discard the decimal
numbers, for example:
print( 16 ~/ 3 );
// Result is 5
