calc.add(2)

result = object.sub(number)

Subtracts number from the internal accumulator. Returns the new value of the accumulator.

calc.sub(2)

result = object.mul(number)

Mulitples the value of the internal accumulator by number. Returns the new value of the accumulator.

calc.mul(2)

result = object.div(number)
