======Arithmetic Operators======

Arithmetic Operators perform basic arithmetic operations on the terms specified. There are different arithmetic operations available for each [[PTPScript:Types|type]] of value. 

^ Symbol ^ [[PTPScript:Operators#Operator Types|Type]] ^ Name ^ Description ^ Example ^
| **[[Number|Number]]** |||||
| %% + %% | Infix | Addition | Adds the right term to the left term to give the sum | ''%% a + b %%'' |
| %% - %% | Infix | Subtraction | Takes the right term away from the left term to give the difference | ''%% a - b %%'' |
| %% * %% | Infix | Multiplication | Multiplies the left term by the right term to give the product | ''%% a * b %%'' |
| %% / %% | Infix | Division | Divides the left term by the right term to give the quotient | ''%% a / b %%'' |
| %% % %% | Infix | Modulus | Divides the left term by the right term and gives the remainder | ''%% a % b %%'' |
| %% ** %% | Infix | Exponentiation | Raises the left term to the power specified by the right term | ''%% a ** b %%'' |
| **[[String|String]]** |||||
| %% ~ %% | Infix | Concatenation | Joins the right term to the end of the left term | ''%% a ~ b %%'' |
| %% ~* %% | Infix | Repetition | Repeats the left term by the number specified by the right term | ''%% a ~* b %%'' |
| **[[Array|Array]]** |||||
| %% @ %% | Infix | Merge | Joins the right term to the end of the left term | ''%% a @ b %%'' |
| %% @* %% | Infix | Repetition | Repeats the left term by the number specified by the right term | ''%% a @* b %%'' |

<note>
Each Operator will evaluate the terms provided as appropriate to the Operator [[PTPScript:Types|value type]] - for instance, performing a numerical addition on two Strings will convert the Strings to Numbers first.
