Mathematical Operators
Computers can be used to carry out mathematical calculations.
The symbols we use in maths are similar to the symbols we use with computers to say what calculation we want it to do.
We know we can set and store data in variables using the set block.
We can output the values using the say block
We can do more with values than just say them.
We can get the program to do some maths using the Green Operators Blocks
For example we can add two numbers together…
