Now you’ve come to the fun part of programming – operators!

Operators are things like:

Operator	Example
Addition	3 + 2
Subtraction	3 – 2
Multiplication	3 * 2
Division	6 / 3
Exponentiation	4 ^ 2

Now you remember when you were a kid, your mom or dad might have asked you:

What is 4 times 3?

Let’s see what Vaklipi would say if it was asked such a question.

com.aiaioo.VaklipiOutputFixture
program	run()
What is 4 times 3?	12.0

It knows its math, yeah? We can ask it other things like:

What is 10 plus 2 divided by 3?

Here below is a set of examples in English:

com.aiaioo.VaklipiOutputFixture
program	run()
What is 10 plus 2 divided by 3?	4.0
What is 10 into 2 divided by 4?	5.0
What is 10 plus 2 plus 4?	16.0
What is 10 plus 2 minus 4?	8.0

Run test

Oh! It looks like there was a mistake on the first line!

10 plus 2 divided by 3 is treated as 10 plus (2 divided by 3), and not as (10 plus 2) divvied by 3.

Why so? Well, there is a convention in math called BODMAS.

This convention puts division before addition. That’s all.

Now, if you were talking Hindi, you would say something like:

३ गुणा २ (3 times 2)

com.aiaioo.VaklipiOutputFixture
program	run()
३ गुणा २ छापो.	6.0
