Arithmetic Operators

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's JavaScript journey — lesson 12 of 77.

Operators are used to perform operations on values.

First we will discuss the most basic arithmetic operators, they may be familiar from math classes.

Let's see a usage example,

let a = 3
let b = 5
let c = a + b // c holds 8

Challenge

Beginner

Write a code that initializes two variables, a and b, with the values 5.2 and 2.6 (respectively).

After that, initialize another variable c that will hold the result of a / b.

Cheat sheet

Arithmetic operators perform mathematical operations on values:

Example usage:

let a = 3
let b = 5
let c = a + b // c holds 8

Try it yourself

// Type your code below


// Don't change the line below
console.log(`a = ${a}, b = ${b}, c = ${c}`);
