Computer Programming/Mathematical calculations

Simple Arithmetic Most any programming language can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division between Computer programming/Variables to put the results into new Variables. Watch out for risk of Divide by Zero, which can give serious indigestion to some programming languages. Date Math Many programming languages can calculate the number of days weeks months between two dates, provided the dates are defined using consistent Computer programming/Types. Higher Math Some programming languages can compute values using mathematics beyond simple arithmetic, such as Square Roots, Sine, Cosine, Logarithms, Imaginary Numbers.
