In Visual Basic 2012, we can write code to instruct the computer to perform mathematical operations. To write code for mathematical operations, we need to use arithmetic operators. Visual Basic 2012 arithmetic operators are very similar to the normal arithmetic operators, only with little variations. The plus and minus operators are the same while the multiplication operator uses the * symbol and the division operator uses the \/ symbol. The list of Visual Basic 2012 arithmetic operators is shown in Table 7.1.<\/p>\n
