Arithmetic Operators


+
	Add two elements    
	$C =  $A + $B;
-
	Subtract two elements    
	$C =  $A - $B;
*
	Multiply two elements     
	$C =  $A * $B;
/
	Divide two elements together     
	$C =  $A / $B;
%
	Find the fractional remainder of the division    
	$C =  $A % $B;
^
	Find the cross product of two vectors
		vector $a = <<2,2,2>>;
		vector $b =<<2,4,6>>;
		vector $c =$a^$b;
		print $c;
	
		//returns 4 -8 4
cross product can be broken down as.
	(a.y * b.z - a.z * b.y,
	 a.z * b.x - a.x * b.z,
	 a.x * b.y - a.y * b.x)
The cross product can be used to find a vector that is perpendicular to the two input vectors.
