The arithmetic operators are used to perform basic mathematical operations on numbers in Swift. These operators include the following:
- Addition (+): Adds two numbers together.
- Subtraction (-): Subtracts one number from another.
- Multiplication (*): Multiplies two numbers together.
- Division (/): Divides one number by another.
- Remainder (%): Calculates the remainder of dividing one number by another.
Here are some examples of how you could use these operators in Swift:
let a = 5
let b = 2
let c = a + b // c = 7
let d = a - b // d = 3
let e = a * b // e = 10
let f = a / b // f = 2.5
let g = a % b // g = 1
In this code, the a
and b
variables are declared and initialized with the values 5
and 2
, respectively. Then, the arithmetic operators are used to perform various operations on these values and store the results in new variables.
For example, the +
operator is used to add a
and b
together, and the result is stored in the c
variable. Similarly, the -
operator is used to subtract b
from a
, and the result is stored in the d
variable.
The arithmetic operators in Swift work with both integer and floating-point numbers, and they can be used in a wide range of mathematical and computational tasks.
