Understanding the common arithmetic operators

• What is an arithmetic operator used for in programming?

  Mathematical calculations
• The multiplication operator in programming is represented by the symbol *.


  True
• The integer division operator in programming is represented by the symbol //
• The exponentiation operator is represented by the symbol ** or ^.


  True
• Integer division returns the remainder of a division operation.

  False
• Match each arithmetic operator with its purpose:

  Addition ↔️ Adds two numbers together

  Subtraction ↔️ Finds the difference between two numbers

  Multiplication ↔️ Multiplies two numbers

  Integer Division ↔️ Divides and returns the whole number result
• The Multiplication operator is represented by the symbol \*
• What does the Modulo (%) operator return?

  The remainder
• The Addition operator combines two numbers


  True
• The Subtraction operator is represented by the symbol -
• What is the purpose of the Exponentiation operator (**)?

  Raises a number to a power
• The Integer Division operator returns only the whole number part
• PEMDAS is a mnemonic for the order of operations in mathematical expressions


  True
• What are the steps in the PEMDAS/BODMAS order of operations?

  1️⃣ Parentheses/Brackets

  2️⃣ Exponents/Orders

  3️⃣ Multiplication and Division (from left to right)

  4️⃣ Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
• Order the steps of PEMDAS/BODMAS

  1️⃣ Parentheses/Brackets

  2️⃣ Exponents/Orders

  3️⃣ Multiplication and Division

  4️⃣ Addition and Subtraction
• Following the correct order of operations ensures consistency in results
• Arithmetic operators are used in programming to perform mathematical calculations.


  True
• What is the result of 15 / 3 using the division operator (/)?

  5.0
• What is the result of 15 // 3 using the integer division operator (//)?

  5
• Parentheses are always evaluated first in PEMDAS


  True
• What is the result of 5 ** 2 according to PEMDAS?

  25
• Arithmetic operators are essential symbols in programming that perform mathematical calculations
• Match the arithmetic operator with its purpose:

  Addition (+) ↔️ Adds two numbers together

  Subtraction (-) ↔️ Finds the difference between two numbers

  Multiplication (*) ↔️ Multiplies two numbers

  Division (/) ↔️ Divides one number by another, returns a decimal result
• What does the Integer Division (//) operator return?

  The whole number part
• Match the arithmetic operator with its example:

  Addition (+) ↔️ 5 + 3

  Subtraction (-) ↔️ 10 - 4

  Multiplication (*) ↔️ 7 \* 2
• What is the purpose of the addition operator (+)?

  Adds two numbers together
• It is essential to follow the order of operations known as PEMDAS
• In the expression (2 + 3) * 4, which operation is performed first?

  Addition
• The multiplication and division operations are always performed from left to right in PEMDAS/BODMAS.


  True
• The addition operator in programming is represented by the symbol +
• What result does the division operator return when dividing 15 by 3?

  5.0
• What does the modulo operator calculate?

  Remainder
• The integer division operator returns only the whole
• What does the exponentiation operator do to a number?

  Raises to a power
• The Integer Division operator is represented by the symbol //
• The Addition operator is represented by the symbol +
• What does the subtraction operator (-) do?

  Finds the difference between two numbers
• What type of result does the division operator (/) return?

  Decimal
• The integer division operator (//) returns only the whole number part of the result
• The modulo operator (%) returns the remainder when one number is divided by another.
