Subtraction
(-).
The minus sign specifies that the operand on the right
of
the minus sign
is
to be subtracted from the operand on the left
of
the
minus sign.
For
example,
4-1
100--64
A-B
55-142
results in 3
results in
36
results in the variable
represented by label
B
being subtracted from the
variable represented
by
label A
results in
-87
The unary minus operator identifies a negative number.
For
example,
-5
-9E4
-B
4--2
Note
that
4
--
2
is
the
same as 4+2
Multiplication (*). An asterisk specifies that the operand on the right
of
the asterisk
is
to be multiplied by the operand on the left
of
the asterisk.
For
example,
100
* 2
50
* 0
A *
Xl
R% *
14
results in
200
results in 0
results in multiplication
of
two floating
point
numbers
represented by floating point
variables labeled A
and
Xl
results in
an
integer
represented
by
integer variable
label R% being multiplied by
14
In the examples above, if variable
.A
is
assigned the value 4.2 and
variable
Xl
is
assigned the value 9.63, then the answer would be 40.446. A
and
Xl
could hold integer values
100
and 2 to duplicate the first example;
however, the two numbers would
be
held in the floating point format as
100.0 and 2.0, since A and
Xl
are floating point variables. In order to
multiply
100
by
2,
representing these numbers as integers, the example
would have to be
A%
* Xl%.
Division
(/).
The slash specifies that the operand on the left ofthe slash
is
to be divided by the data (or operand) on the right
of
the slash.
