In mathematics, an operation is a calculation from zero or more input values (called operands) to an output value.

Types of operation
There are two common types of operations:
Unary operations involve only one value, such as negation and trigonometric functions.
Binary operations, take two values, and include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation.
Operations can involve mathematical objects other than numbers.
The logical values true and false can be combined using logic operations, such as and, or, and not. See Boolean algebra.
Euclidean vectors can be added and subtracted.
Rotations can be combined using the function composition operation, performing the first rotation and then the second.
Operations on sets include the binary operations union and intersection, and the unary operation of complementation.
Operations on functions include composition and convolution.
