-These operators return the sum, difference, product, or quotient (respectively) of the two operands.  The operation is conducted using the data type of the operands, so, for example, //9 / 4// gives //2// since 9 and 4 are ints.  This also means that the operation can overflow if the result is larger than that which can be stored in the data type (e.g. adding 1 to an [[arduiono:data types:int]] with the value 32,767 gives -32,768).  If the operands are of different types, the "larger" type is used for the calculation.+These operators return the sum, difference, product, or quotient (respectively) of the two operands.  The operation is conducted using the data type of the operands, so, for example, //9 / 4// gives //2// since 9 and 4 are ints.  This also means that the operation can overflow if the result is larger than that which can be stored in the data type (e.g. adding 1 to an [[arduino:data_types:int|]] with the value 32,767 gives -32,768).  If the operands are of different types, the "larger" type is used for the calculation.
  
 If one of the numbers (operands) are of the type **float** or of type **double**, floating point math will be used for the calculation. If one of the numbers (operands) are of the type **float** or of type **double**, floating point math will be used for the calculation.
