Bicep numeric operators

The numeric operators use integers to do calculations and return integer values. To run the examples, use Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell to deploy Bicep file.

operand1 * operand2

Multiplies two integers.

The multiplication returns the product as an integer.

Two integers are multiplied and return the product.

param firstInt int = 5
param secondInt int = 2

output product int = firstInt * secondInt

Output from the example:

operand1 / operand2

Divides an integer by an integer.

The division returns the quotient as an integer.

Two integers are divided and return the quotient.

param firstInt int = 10
param secondInt int = 2

output quotient int = firstInt / secondInt

Output from the example:

operand1 % operand2

Divides an integer by an integer and returns the remainder.

The remainder is returned as an integer. If the division doesn't produce a remainder, 0 is returned.

Two pairs of integers are divided and return the remainders.

param firstInt int = 10
param secondInt int = 3

param thirdInt int = 8
param fourthInt int = 4

output remainder int = firstInt % secondInt
output zeroRemainder int = thirdInt % fourthInt

Output from the example:

operand1 + operand2

Adds two integers.

The addition returns the sum as an integer.

Two integers are added and return the sum.

param firstInt int = 10
param secondInt int = 2

output sum int = firstInt + secondInt

Output from the example:

operand1 - operand2

Subtracts an integer from an integer.

The subtraction returns the difference as an integer.

An integer is subtracted and returns the difference.

param firstInt int = 10
param secondInt int = 4

output difference int = firstInt - secondInt

Output from the example:

-integerValue

Multiplies an integer by -1.

An integer is multiplied by -1. A positive integer returns a negative integer and a negative integer returns a positive integer. The values can be wrapped with parentheses.

param posInt int = 10
param negInt int = -20

output startedPositive int = -posInt
output startedNegative int = -(negInt)
