Definition: arithmetic expression


(1) One or more characters or symbols associated with arithmetic, such as 1+2=3 or 8*6.

(2) In programming, an arithmetic expression that results in 10% of a value might look like result=.10*total.

The other two kinds of programming expressions are "character" (quoted text) or Boolean yes/no (0 or 1). See integer and floating point.
