Arithmetic operators affect the top two elements in the stack. The operands are popped and the result is pushed on to stack as the new first element. – (minus) subtracts the top element from the second element. / (slash) divides the second element by the top element.
The illustration below compares the use of arithmetic operators for the A and F codes.
