Numeric operators

Numeric operators are used to perform arithmetic operations on number types like Nat, Int or Float. Here's a list of all numeric operators:

• + addition
• - subtraction
• * multiplication
• / division
• % modulo
• ** exponentiation

An example:

let a : Nat = (2 ** 4) / 4;

We used parentheses (2 ** 4) to indicate the order in which the operations need to be performed. The exponentiation happens first and the result is then divided by 4. The end result will be a value of type Nat.

The order in which the operations are performed is called operator precedence.
