var x = 5; // assign the value 5 to xvar y = 2; // assign the value 2 to yvar z = x + y; // assign the value 7 to z (x + y)
The assignment operator (=) assigns a value to a variable.
var x = 10;
The addition operator (+) adds numbers:
var x = 5;
var y = 2;
var z = x + y;
The multiplication operator (*) multiplies numbers.
var x = 5;
var y = 2;
var z = x * y;
JavaScript Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic on numbers:
Operator Description

/ Division
% Modulus (Division Remainder)
++ Increment
-- Decrement

JavaScript Assignment Operators
Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.
Operator Example Same As
= x = y x = y
+= x += y x = x + y
-= x -= y x = x - y
*= x *= y x = x * y
/= x /= y x = x / y
%= x %= y x = x % y
The addition assignment operator (+=) adds a value to a variable.
Assignment
var x = 10;
x += 5;
x += 5;
JavaScript String Operators
The + operator can also be used to add (concatenate) strings.
var txt1 = "John";
var txt2 = "Doe";
var txt3 = txt1 + " " + txt2;
var txt2 = "Doe";
var txt3 = txt1 + " " + txt2;
Result of txt3 will be:
---------
John Doe
---------
The += assignment operator can also be used to add (concatenate) strings:
var txt1 = "What a very ";
txt1 += "nice day";
txt1 += "nice day";
Result of txt1 will be:
--------------------
What a very nice day
--------------------
Adding Strings and Numbers
Adding two numbers, will return the sum, but adding a number and a string will return a string:
var x = 5 + 5;
var y = "5" + 5;
var z = "Hello" + 5;
var y = "5" + 5;
var z = "Hello" + 5;
The result of x, y, and z will be:
10
55
Hello5
55
Hello5
