2 + 4/2 + 1 --- 2 + 2 + 1 ------ 4 + 1 --------- 5
If you look in the table of operators you will see that the character "-" is listed twice, as is the character "+". The unary minus and unary plus operators are used to show a negative or a positive number. For example:
+97.34
means "positive ninety seven point thirty four." The following:
-83
means "negative eighty three." These unary operators have high precedence. Addition and subtraction use the same symbols but have low precedence. For example:
-12 + 3
means add 3 to negative 12 (resulting in -9).
