Add

Add may refer to any of the following:

1. With computers, add often refers to installing (adding) a hardware device or program to the computer.

2. Alternatively called addition, add is a math operation that takes two or more different numbers and outputs their total value. An example of addition is 10 + 4 = 14. On a computer, you can add numbers using a calculator or spreadsheet program and use the addition symbol (+).

Addition operator

In many programming languages, the addition operator ( += ) can be used as a way to add to a previous value. For example, in the Perl code below, the $example variable is first set to a value of "2". The next line uses the addition operator to add "2" to the variable.

$example = 2;
$example += 2;
print "Total = $example";

When the script above is executed, the computer would print out "Total = 4" to the screen.

In Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheets, use the SUM function to add two or more cells together.

3. Add is an online gaming term to describe aggro.
