The Commands Window Command Window Recognizable by the Command prompt >> Basic arithmetic operations are available: addition + subtraction – division / multiplication * exponentiation ^ More complex operations and programming instructions Pressing “enter” key  “executes” or “runs” or “invokes” the operation

Arithmetic Operations Addition + >> 1+2 Subtraction->> 3-4 Multiplication*>> 5*6 Division/>> 7/8 Back Slash\>> 9\10 or 10/9 Exponentiation^>> 2^3 Priority rule : PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponentiation, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) >> ((2+5)^2+2*2-10/5)  = ?

Priority rules Precedence is the order operations are preformed, remember PEMDAS >> ((2+5)^2+2*2-10/5) innermost parentheses is done first 7^2 exponentiation is next 2*2 or 10/5 multiplication or division next ( – 2) addition or subtraction next Operations are done from left to right  final result gives 51
