Arithmetic_Operators

 An  arithmetic  operator  usually   provides   a   formula   for
 calculating  a value.  To perform arithmetic operations, numeric
 operands are  combined  with  one  or  more  of  the  arithmetic
 operators.

 Arithmetic Operators:

    operator  |  example  |  result
    --------------------------------------------
       +          A + B      Sum of A and B 
       -          A - B      B subtracted from A
       *          A * B      Product of A and B
       **         A ** B     A raised to the power of B
       /          A / B      A divided by B
       DIV        A DIV B    Result of A divided by B,
                             truncated toward zero
       REM        A REM B    Remainder of A divided by B
       MOD        A MOD B    Modulus of A with respect to B
