Understanding Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators in MySQL are prevalent and can be applied to numeric ops to complete many different mathematical operations in SQL queries. Let’s delve into each operator’s functionality:

1. Addition (+)

The summation operator (^{+}) is used for adding numbers, and mutual operation forms the sum.

2. Subtraction (-)

When using the subtraction operator (-) to subtract one numeric value from another, a difference is obtained which is the result.

3. Multiplication (*)

The multiplication operator symbol (*) multiplies both numbers, consequently producing a product.

4. Division (/)

The division operator (/) takes the root of two (or more) numbers and results in a quotient, or a solution.

5. Modulus (%)

The modulus operator (%) returns the remainder of the quota by dividing a numeric value into another numeric value.

They are primary arithmetic operators that gradually flow into mathematical calculations within MySQL queries, where fundamental functions are carried out for that purpose.

Arithmetic Operators in MySQL

Arithmetic operators in MySQL can work with numeric operands and hence carry out mathematic operations within MySQL queries. MySQL supports only a small set of arithmetic operators (+, –, *, /, and %) which is equivalent to the Mainstream calculator operations.

Apart from these conventional functions of arithmetic operators, MySQL also has a set of customary procedures. Besides these Operators and Functions are necessary in the MySQL databases for the numerical calculation and sorting of data. In this post, we are going to read and discover the arithmetic instruction signs.
