How many types of arithmetic operators are there?
Correct answer: D. 9
- A. 5
- B. 6
- C. 8
- D. 9
Explanation
The correct option is (d), 9.There are nine basic arithmetic operators in most programming languages:Addition (+): Adds two operands (numbers) and returns the sum.Subtraction (-): Subtracts the second operand from the first operand and returns the difference.Multiplication (*): Multiplies two operands and returns the product.Division (/): Divides the first operand by the second operand and returns the quotient.Modulo (%): Calculates the remainder after dividing the first operand by the second operand.Increment (++, ++x): Increments the value of an operand by 1 (prefix increment) or after the operation (postfix increment).Decrement (--, --x): Decrements the value of an operand by 1 (prefix decrement) or after the operation (postfix decrement).Exponentiation (, pow):** Raises the first operand to the power of the second operand. This might be represented by a caret symbol (^) or a function like pow depending on the programming language.Negation (-): Negates the sign of the operand.
