Arithmetic

The usual arithmetic operators:

aNumber + aNumber  => Number
aNumber - aNumber  => Number
aNumber * aNumber  => Number
aNumber / aNumber  => Number

Truncated result (towards the next smaller integer i.e. towards negative infinity):

aNumber // aNumber  => Integer

Example:

 100 // 3
 => 33

 -100 // 3
 => -34
