Arithmetic Operators

Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe have following types of Arithmetic operators in Kotlin.

These operations are binary, wich means they operate with two operands.

Addition

The following code declares two integer variables and prints their sum using the + (addition) operators

fun main(args: Array;String)
{
var num1: Int = 8
var num2: Int = 3
val sum = num1 + num2
println("Sum is $sum")
}

//Sum is 11

Division

The division (/) operator results in an integer, removing any remainder.

fun main(args: Array;String)
{
var num1: Int = 10
var num2: Int = 3
val division = num1 / num2
println("The result is $division")
}

//The result is 3

Modulo

To get the remainder of the division, use the % (modulo) operator.

fun main(args: Array;String)
{
var num1: Int = 10
var num2: Int = 3
val modulo = num1 % num2
println("The result is $modulo")
}

//The result is 1

The modulo operator cannot be applied to floating-point numbers.
However the division operator works with floating-point values and results in a floating-point result.

fun main(args: Array;String)
{
var num1: Double = 10.42
var num2: Double = 3.14
val division = num1 / num2
println("The result is $division")
}

//The result is 3.31847133757
