    JavaScript Arithmetic 
    JavaScript Arithmetic Operators 
    Arithmetic operators perform arithmetic on numbers (literals or variables). 
    Operator Description 
    +  Addition 
    -  Subtraction 
    *  Multiplication 
    **  Exponentiation (ES2016) 
    /  Division 
    %  Modulus (Remainder) 
    ++  Increment 
    --  Decrement 

    Arithmetic Operations 
    A typical arithmetic operation operates on two numbers. 
    The two numbers can be literals: 
    <!DOCTYPE html> 
    <html> 
    <body> 
      
    <p>A typical arithmetic operation takes two numbers and produces a new number.</p> 
      
    <p id="demo"></p> 
      
    <script> 
    var x = 100 + 50; 
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x; 
    </script> 
      
    </body> 
    </html> 
    or variables: 
    <!DOCTYPE html> 
    <html> 
    <body> 
      
    <p>A typical arithmetic operation takes two numbers (or variables) and produces a
    new number.</p> 
      
    <p id="demo"></p> 
      
    <script> 
    var a = 100; 
    var b = 50; 
    var x = a + b; 
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x; 
    </script> 
      
    </body> 
    </html> 
    or expressions: 
    <!DOCTYPE html> 
    <html> 
    <body> 
      
    <p>A typical arithmetic operation takes two numbers (or expressions) and
    produces a new number.</p> 
      
    <p id="demo"></p> 
      
    <script> 
    var a = 3; 
    var x = (100 + 50) * a; 
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x; 
    </script> 
      
    </body> 
    </html> 
     
     
     

    Adding 
    The addition operator (+) adds numbers: 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    var y = 2; 
    var z = x + y; 
     
     

    Subtracting 
    The subtraction operator (-) subtracts numbers. 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    var y = 2; 
    var z = x - y; 
     

    Multiplying 
    The multiplication operator (*) multiplies numbers. 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    var y = 2; 
    var z = x * y; 
     

    Dividing 
    The division operator (/) divides numbers. 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    var y = 2; 
    var z = x / y; 
     

    Remainder 
    The modulus operator (%) returns the division remainder. 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    var y = 2; 
    var z = x % y; 
     

    Incrementing 
    The increment operator (++) increments numbers. 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    x++; 
    var z = x; 
     

    Decrementing 
    The decrement operator (--) decrements numbers. 

    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    x--; 
    var z = x; 
     

    Exponentiation 
    The exponentiation operator (**) raises the first operand to the power of the
    second operand. 
    Example 
    var x = 5; 
    var z = x ** 2;          // result is 25 
     

    Operator Precedence 
    Operator precedence describes the order in which operations are performed in an
    arithmetic expression. 
    Example 
    var x = 100 + 50 * 3;
