Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic Operators are used to perform basic mathematical arithmetic operators like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. The following table lists out all the arithmetic operators in Dart programming.

OperatorSymbolExampleDescription
Addition+x+yReturns addition of x and y.
Subtraction–x-yReturns the subtraction of y from x.
Multiplication*x*yReturns the multiplication of x and y.
Division/x/yReturns the quotient of the result of division of x by y.
Division~/x~/yReturns the quotient of the result of integer division of x by y.
Modulo%x%yReturns the reminder of division of x by y. Known as modular division.
Increment++x++
++x		Increments the value of x by 1.
Decrement—x--
--x		Decrements the value of x by 1.

Example

In the following program, we will take values in variables x and y, and perform arithmetic operations on these values using Dart Arithmetic Operators.

main.dart

</>
Copy
void main() {
    var x = 5;
    var y = 2;
    var addition = x + y;
    var subtraction = x - y;
    var multiplication = x * y;
    var division = x / y;
    var division_1 = x / y;
    var modulus = x % y;
    print('x + y = $addition');
    print('x - y = $subtraction');
    print('x * y = $multiplication');
    print('x / y = $division');
    print('x ~/ y = $division_1');
    print('x % y = $modulus');
    print('x++ = ${++x}');
    print('y-- = ${--y}');
}

Output

x + y = 7
x - y = 3
x * y = 10
x / y = 2.5
x ~/ y = 2.5
x % y = 1
x++ = 6
y-- = 1
