1/2 <-- not a number. Two numbers and an operator. But also a number.
In Comp-Sci, operators mean stuff like >>, *, /, + and so on. But in math, an operator is a (possibly symbollic) function, such as a derivative or matrix.
>>
*
/
+
Youre not wrong, distinctively, but even in mathematics "/" is considered an operator.
