F# - Arithmetic Operators

The following table shows all the arithmetic operators supported by F# language. Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20 then −

Operator	Description	Example
+	Adds two operands	A + B will give 30
-	Subtracts second operand from the first	A - B will give -10
*	Multiplies both operands	A * B will give 200
/	Divides numerator by de-numerator	B / A will give 2
%	Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer division	B % A will give 0
**	Exponentiation Operator, raises an operand to the power of another	B**A will give 20¹⁰

Example

Live Demo

let a : int32 = 21
let b : int32 = 10

let mutable c = a + b
printfn "Line 1 - Value of c is %d" c

c <- a - b;
printfn "Line 2 - Value of c is %d" c

c <- a * b;
printfn "Line 3 - Value of c is %d" c

c <- a / b;
printfn "Line 4 - Value of c is %d" c

c <- a % b;
printfn "Line 5 - Value of c is %d" c

When you compile and execute the program, it yields the following output −

Line 1 - Value of c is 31
Line 2 - Value of c is 11
Line 3 - Value of c is 210
Line 4 - Value of c is 2
Line 5 - Value of c is 1
