Аритметичните оператори приемат числови стойности като техен операнд и връща единична числова стойност. Стандартните аритметични оператори са събиране (+), изваждане (-), умножение (*), делене(/)

Събиране (+)

Операторът за събиране произвежда сумата от числови операнди или конкатенация на стрингове.

Синтаксис

Operator: x + y

Примери

// Number + Number -> събиране
1 + 2 // 3

// Boolean + Number -> събиране
true + 1 // 2

// Boolean + Boolean -> събиране
false + false // 0

// Number + String -> конкатенация
5 + 'foo' // "5foo"

// String + Boolean -> конкатенация
'foo' + false // "foofalse"

// String + String -> конкатенация
'foo' + 'bar' // "foobar"

Subtraction (-)

The subtraction operator subtracts the two operands, producing their difference.

Syntax

Operator: x - y

Examples

5 - 3     // 2
3 - 5     // -2
'foo' - 3 // NaN

Division (/)

The division operator produces the quotient of its operands where the left operand is the dividend and the right operand is the divisor.

Syntax

Operator: x / y

Examples

1 / 2      // returns 0.5 in JavaScript (In Java, returns 0; both are integers)
// (neither 1 nor 2 is explicitly a floating point number)

Math.floor(3 / 2) // returns 1
1.0 / 2.0  // returns 0.5 in both JavaScript and Java

2.0 / 0    // returns Infinity
2.0 / 0.0  // ditto, because 0.0 === 0
2.0 / -0.0 // returns -Infinity

Multiplication (*)

The multiplication operator produces the product of the operands.

Syntax

Operator: x * y

Examples

 2 * 2 // 4
-2 * 2 // -4
Infinity * 0 // NaN
Infinity * Infinity // Infinity
'foo' * 2 // NaN

Remainder (%)

The remainder operator returns the remainder left over when one operand is divided by a second operand. It always takes the sign of the dividend.

Syntax

Operator: var1 % var2

Examples

 12 % 5 //  2
-12 % 5 // -2
-1 % 2  // -1
 1 % -2 //  1
NaN % 2 // NaN
 1 % 2  //  1
 2 % 3  //  2
-4 % 2  // -0
5.5 % 2 // 1.5

Exponentiation (**)

The exponentiation operator returns the result of raising the first operand to the power of the second operand. That is, var1var2, in the preceding statement, where var1 and var2 are variables. The exponentiation operator is right-associative. a ** b ** c is equal to a ** (b ** c).

Syntax

Operator: var1 ** var2

Notes

In most languages, such as PHP, Python, and others that have an exponentiation operator (**), the exponentiation operator is defined to have a higher precedence than unary operators, such as unary + and unary -, but there are a few exceptions. For example, in Bash, the ** operator is defined to have a lower precedence than unary operators.

In JavaScript, it is impossible to write an ambiguous exponentiation expression; that is, you cannot put a unary operator (+/-/~/!/delete/void/typeof) immediately before the base number.

-2 ** 2;
// 4 in Bash, -4 in other languages.
// This is invalid in JavaScript, as the operation is ambiguous.


-(2 ** 2);
// -4 in JavaScript and the author's intention is unambiguous.

Examples

2 ** 3 // 8
3 ** 2 // 9
3 ** 2.5 // 15.588457268119896
10 ** -1 // 0.1
NaN ** 2 // NaN

2 ** 3 ** 2 // 512
2 ** (3 ** 2) // 512
(2 ** 3) ** 2 // 64

To invert the sign of the result of an exponentiation expression:

-(2 ** 2) // -4

To force the base of an exponentiation expression to be a negative number:

(-2) ** 2 // 4

Note: JavaScript also has a bitwise operator ^ (logical XOR). ** and ^ are different (for example : 2 ** 3 === 8 when 2 ^ 3 === 1.)

Increment (++)

The increment operator increments (adds one to) its operand and returns a value.

Syntax

Operator: x++ or ++x

Examples

// Postfix
var x = 3;
y = x++; // y = 3, x = 4

// Prefix
var a = 2;
b = ++a; // a = 3, b = 3

Decrement (--)

The decrement operator decrements (subtracts one from) its operand and returns a value.

Syntax

Operator: x-- or --x

Examples

// Postfix
var x = 3;
y = x--; // y = 3, x = 2

// Prefix
var a = 2;
b = --a; // a = 1, b = 1

Unary negation (-)

The unary negation operator precedes its operand and negates it.

Syntax

Operator: -x

Examples

var x = 3;
y = -x; // y = -3, x = 3

// Unary negation operator can convert non-numbers into a number
var x = "4";
y = -x; // y = -4

Unary plus (+)

The unary plus operator precedes its operand and evaluates to its operand but attempts to convert it into a number, if it isn't already. Although unary negation (-) also can convert non-numbers, unary plus is the fastest and preferred way of converting something into a number, because it does not perform any other operations on the number. It can convert string representations of integers and floats, as well as the non-string values true, false, and null. Integers in both decimal and hexadecimal (0x-prefixed) formats are supported. Negative numbers are supported (though not for hex). If it cannot parse a particular value, it will evaluate to {{jsxref("NaN")}}.

Syntax

Operator: +x

Examples

+3     // 3
+'3'   // 3
+true  // 1
+false // 0
+null  // 0
+function(val){ return val } // NaN
