Used for performing basic arithmetic operations:

  • + (Addition): 5 + 2 = 7
  • – (Subtraction): 5 – 2 = 3
  • * (Multiplication): 5 * 2 = 10
  • / (Division): 10 / 2 = 5
  • % (Modulus): 10 % 3 = 1 (remainder)

Example:

JavaScript
// Declare two variables
let num1 = 10;
let num2 = 5;

// Perform arithmetic operations
let sum = num1 + num2;          // Addition
let difference = num1 - num2;   // Subtraction
let product = num1 * num2;      // Multiplication
let quotient = num1 / num2;     // Division
let remainder = num1 % num2;    // Modulus

// Display results
console.log("Sum: " + sum);               // 15
console.log("Difference: " + difference); // 5
console.log("Product: " + product);       // 50
console.log("Quotient: " + quotient);     // 2
console.log("Remainder: " + remainder);   // 0
