What is commutative property?

Commutative Property

In mathematics we deal with many operators like $+, -, \times$ etc. Some of the operations satisfy this property called Commutative property.

We know $3 + 5 = 5 + 3$

But $3 - 5$ is not equal to $5 - 3$

This is because 'plus' operator(addition) satisfies Commutative property but 'minus' operator(subtraction) does not satisfy.

Similarly $2 \times 3 = 3 \times 2$

So 'multiplication' also satisfies this property

So, any operation satisfies this property, when interchanging the operands does not change the result
