How to use mathematical operator components in Grasshopper

- [Instructor] Operators are Grasshopper components that perform basic algebraic functions on two inputs. Operators are a subset of scalar components, which are standalone components that process data using math. We're just covering the basics here. In other videos, we'll look at some more advanced scalar components and techniques to perform mathematical and logical operations, using things like functions and Grasshopper's expression editor. You can find operators under the maths component tab in the operator subset. And in our example here, you can see we've got two number sliders, and we'll be plugging them into different operator components to see how they work. I've gone ahead and connected each operator component to a panel, just to give us a visual output of the results of our operations. So the first one here, pretty simple, nine plus 27 equals 36. Let's go ahead and connect the rest of these operators, and…
