Julia Arithmetic Operators

In this Julia Tutorial, we will learn what Arithmetic Operators are available in Julia and how to use them with examples.

The following arithmetic operators are supported on all primitive numeric types:

Expression	Name	Description
+x	unary plus	the identity operation
-x	unary minus	maps values to their additive inverses
x + y	binary plus	performs addition
x - y	binary minus	performs subtraction
x * y	times	performs multiplication
x / y	divide	performs division
x ÷ y	integer divide	x / y, truncated to an integer
x \ y	inverse divide	equivalent to y / x
x ^ y	power	raises x to the yth power
x % y	remainder	equivalent to rem(x,y)

Unary Plus

julia> y = 15
15

julia> x - y
-5

Multiplication

10

julia> y = 3
3

julia> x ÷ y
3

Inverse Division
