# Special Math Operators
Postgres has all the mathematical operators you might expect in any
programming language (e.g. `+`,`-`,`*`,`/`,`%`). It also has a few extras
that you might not be expecting.
Factorial Operator:
```sql
> select 5!;
?column?
----------
120
(1 row)
```
Square Root Operator:
```sql
> select |/81;
?column?
----------
9
(1 row)
```
Absolute Value Operator:
```sql
> select @ -23.4;
?column?
----------
23.4
(1 row)
```
