\(+\)

Addition operator

Arithmetic operators perform operations of change-sign (negate), do-no-change-sign, logical AND logical OR, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Note that a value or an expression may fall between two of these operators, either of which could take it as its left or right argument, as in

\[ a + b * c. \]

In such cases three rules apply:

  1. \(*\) and \(/\) bind to their neighbors more strongly than \(+\) and \(-\). Thus the above expression is taken as:
    \(a + (b * c)\) with \(*\) taking \(b\) and \(c\) and then \(+\) taking \(a\) and \(b * c\).

  2. \(+\) and \(-\) bind more strongly than &&, which in turn is stronger than ||:
    \(a \;\&\&\; b - c \;||\; d\) is taken as \((a \;\&\&\; (b - c))\;||\; d\)

  3. When both operators bind equally strongly, the operations are done left to right:
    \(a - b - c\) is taken as \((a - b) - c\)

Parentheses may be used as above to force particular groupings.

Syntax

+a  (no rate restriction)
a + b  (no rate restriction)

where the arguments \(a\) and \(b\) may be further expressions.

Arguments

The arguments of \(+\) can be scalar values or k-rate one dimensional arrays (vectors), or any combination. If one of the arguments is an array, so is the value.

Examples

Here is an example of the + operator. It uses the file adds.csd.
