Operator

In mathematics, an operator is a function (like addition) that acts on one or more numbers to create a new number.

The most known operators are those used for the first four arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division ($+$, $-$, $\times$, $/$).

List of operators

• Addition: $+$
• Subtraction: $-$
• Multiplication: $\times$
• Division: $/$
• Division (fraction): $-$
• Exponentiation: $x^{y}$
• Root (radical): ${\sqrt {\,\,\,\,}}$
• Logarithm: $\log$
• Modulation: $\backslash$
• Factorial: $!$
• Summation: $\sum$
• Product: $\prod$
• Limit: $\lim$
• Nearest integer: $\lfloor \,\,\rceil$
• Floor: $\lfloor \,\,\rfloor$
• Ceiling: $\lceil \,\,\rceil$
• Integer part: $[\,\,]$
• Fractional part: $\{\,\,\}$
