63: Mainline

You arrange for basic arithmetic calculations using the +, -, *, and / operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division:

6 + 3     /* Add, evaluating to 9 */ 
6 - 3     /* Subtract, evaluating to 3 */ 
6 * 3     /* Multiply, evaluating to 18 */ 
6 / 3     /* Divide, evaluating to 2 */ 
6 + y     /* Add, evaluating to 6 plus y's value */ 
x - 3     /* Subtract, evaluating to x's value minus 3 */ 
x * y     /* Multiply, evaluating to x's value times y's value */ 
x / y     /* Divide, evaluating to x's value divided by y's value */
