Introduction of Arithmetic Operations
This section provides a quick introduction of arithmetic operations supported by VBScript: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, remainder, and exponentiation.
VBScript supports 8 arithmetic operations:
To show you some simple arithmetic operations, I wrote the following script, arithmetic_operation.html:
<html> <body> <!-- arithmetic_operation.html - Copyright (c) 1998 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. --> <pre> <script language="vbscript"> document.writeln("1 + 1 = " & (1 + 1)) document.writeln("0 - 3 = " & (0 - 3)) document.writeln("- 3 = " & (- 3)) document.writeln("9 * 9 = " & (9 * 9)) document.writeln("20 / 3 = " & (20 / 3)) document.writeln("20 \ 3 = " & (20 \ 3)) document.writeln("20 Mod 3 = " & (20 Mod 3)) document.writeln("3 ^ 4 = " & (3 ^ 4)) </script> </pre> </body> </html>
Here is the output of this VBScript example script:
1 + 1 = 2 0 - 3 = -3 - 3 = -3 9 * 9 = 81 20 / 3 = 6.66666666666667 20 \ 3 = 6 20 Mod 3 = 2 3 ^ 4 = 81
