Math operators in apex

To manipulate numeric data, apex supports math operators. Following are the math operators in apex:

• Addition

  Adds two numbers together.

  Integer x = 5;
  Integer y = 3;
  Integer result = x + y;  // result is 8

• Subtraction

  Subtracts the second number from the first.

  Integer x = 5;
  Integer y = 3;
  Integer result = x - y;  // result is 2

• Multiplication

  Multiplies two numbers.

  Integer x = 5;
  Integer y = 3;
  Integer result = x * y;  // result is 15

• Division

  Divides the first number by the second.

  Integer x = 6;
  Integer y = 3;
  Integer result = x / y;  // result is 2

Apart from math operators, apex provides a set of math functions which can be used to perform math operations

The following code snippet shows how to add two numbers in apex.
