Groovy: Arithmetic Operators

Below table summarizes the Arithmetic operators provided by Groovy.

Operator	Performs	Example
+	Addition	a + b
-	Subtraction	a - b
*	Multiplication	a * b
/	Division	a / b
%	Remainder	a % b
**	Power	a ** b

HelloWorld.groovy

a = 10
b = 3

println "a =  ${a}"
println "b = ${b}"
println "a + b = ${a + b}"
println "a - b = ${a - b}"
println "a * b = ${a * b}"
println "a / b = ${a / b}"
println "a % b = ${a % b}"
println "a ** b = ${a ** b}"

Output

a =  10
b = 3
a + b = 13
a - b = 7
a * b = 30
a / b = 3.3333333333
a % b = 1
a ** b = 1000

As you see the output pf a/b, it returns a double value. Some times you may want only integer result as part of the division, in that case use intdiv method (a.intdiv(b)).
