Go Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators in Go are utilized for performing essential mathematical operations. Below are the types of arithmetic operators and their description:

Operator	Name	Description	Example
`+`	Addition	Combines two values into a single sum.	`x + y`
`-`	Subtraction	Reduces one value by another.	`x - y`
`*`	Multiplication	Multiplies two values together.	`x * y`
`/`	Division	Divides one value by another.	`x / y`
`%`	Modulus	Returns the remainder after division.	`x % y`
`++`	Increment	Increases the value of a variable by 1.	`x++`
`--`	Decrement	Decreases the value of a variable by 1.	`x--`

Example Code

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    x := 100
    y := 50
    z := 20

    // Addition
    sum := x + y
    fmt.Println("Sum:", sum)

    // Subtraction
    difference := x - y
    fmt.Println("Difference:", difference)

    // Multiplication
    product := y * z
    fmt.Println("Product:", product)

    // Division
    quotient := x / y
    fmt.Println("Quotient:", quotient)

    // Modulus
    remainder := x % z
    fmt.Println("Remainder:", remainder)

    // Increment
    x++
    fmt.Println("Incremented x:", x)

    // Decrement
    y--
    fmt.Println("Decremented y:", y)
}
