-Description
------------
-
-These operators return the sum, difference, product, or quotient
-(respectively) of the two operands. The operation is conducted using
-the data type of the operands, so, for example, ``9 / 4`` gives ``2``
-since 9 and 4 are :ref:`int variables <lang-int>`.
+The operators ``+``, ``-``, ``*``, and ``/`` respectively evaluate to
+the sum, difference, product, or quotient (respectively) of the two
+operands. The operation is conducted using the data type of the
+operands, so, for example, ``9 / 4`` gives ``2`` since 9 and 4 are
+:ref:`int variables <lang-int>`.
 
 This also means that the operation can overflow if the result is
 larger than that which can be stored in the data type (e.g. adding 1
-to an :ref:`lang-int` with the value 2147483647 gives
--2147483648). If the operands are of different types, the "larger"
-type is used for the calculation.
