In order to the program understand mathematical operation, you have to set the equation correctly and use the language use by the program.
Those symbols above are the only symbols use for those mathematical operations. If you use other symbols as you use when you are hand-writing, Microsoft Visual Studio is not going to recognize and it will give an error or it may do wrong calculations. For example, if you want to know how much it is 12 multiply by 4, you have to write the operation as “12*4”. If you write as you hand-write it “12 x 4”, the Program will not understand the language.
| Operations | Correct Program Language | ✔ | Incorrect Hand-Writing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multiplication | 100 * 20 = 2,000 | ✔ | 100 x 20 =? Or 100.20=? | |
| Division | 250 / 25 = 10 | ✔ | 250 ÷ 10 =? | |
| Exponent | 3 ^ 3 = 27 | ✔ | 33=? | |
