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 ([math]\displaystyle{ + }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ - }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \times }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ / }[/math]).
