Use Arithmetic Operators in Swift
Written by Team Kodeco
Swift provides a set of basic arithmetic operators that can be used to perform mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The basic arithmetic operators in Swift are:
-
+
for addition. -
-
for subtraction. -
*
for multiplication. -
/
for division. -
%
for modulo.
Here’s an example of using arithmetic operators to perform mathematical operations:
let a = 5
let b = 2
let sum = a + b // 7
let difference = a - b // 3
let product = a * b // 10
let quotient = a / b // 2
let remainder = a % b // 1
print("sum: \(sum)")
print("difference: \(difference)")
print("product: \(product)")
print("quotient: \(quotient)")
print("remainder: \(remainder)")
// Output: sum: 7
// difference: 3
// product: 10
// quotient: 2
// remainder: 1
In this example, the variables a
and b
are set to 5 and 2 respectively. The basic arithmetic operators are used to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations. The result of each operation is stored in a separate variable and printed.
