// Arithmetic operators

var x = 10; // assignment

console.log(10+5); // addition
console.log(10-5); // subtraction
console.log(10/5); // division
console.log(10*5); // multiplication

console.log(5%2); // modulus (remainder of division)

x = x + 1; // increase x by 1 (long method)
console.log(x);

x++; // increment (increase x by 1)
console.log(x);

x--; // decrement (decrease x by 1)
console.log(x);

x += 5; // compound addition (increase x by 5 - short method)
console.log(x);

x -= 5; // compound subtraction
console.log(x);

x *= 5; // compound multiplication
console.log(x);

x /= 5; // compound division

console.log(5**2); //exponentiation (raises 5 to power of 2)
console.log(Math.pow(5,2)); // using exponentiation function

console.log(Math.sqrt(4)); // square root

console.log((5 + 10) / 2); // grouping numbers using parantheses
