JavaScript Arithmetic Operators: JavaScript Arithmetic Operators includes Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division & Modulus & they are binary operators so they operate on 2 operands.

The below table shows the Arithmetic Operators in JavaScript with examples:
| Operator | Description | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| + | Addition | result = x + y | result = 15 |
| – | Subtraction | result = x – y | result = 5 |
| * | Multiplication | result = x * y | result = 50 |
| / | Division | result = x / y | result = 2 |
| % | Modulus | result = x % y | result = 0 |
| ++ | Increment | result = x++ result = x result = ++x | result = 10 result = 11 result = 12 |
| — | Decrement | result = x– result = x result = –x | result = 12 result = 11 result = 10 |
