B.1.8 Operators and Operands

The symbols + and – are operators, and the data they act upon are operands. Most operators take 
two operands, and the operator lies between the operands, for example, a + b, and c / d. Such 
operators are called binary infix, meaning that the operator lies between two operands. In its binary 
infix form, the symbol – means subtraction, for example, a – b. The unary prefix – operator 
comes before the expression it negates, for example, –3.

Multiplication in mathematics is typically expressed by the concatenation of variables, so for 
instance at means the product of variables a and t. But this can be ambiguous, because at could 
also refer to the single word “at”. To avoid ambiguity, the infix operator * indicates multiplication, 
so the product of m times n is written m * n.
