Explain the similarities and differences between (binary) operators such as +, *, -, / and a function.

What will be an ideal response?


The differences amount to syntax used in invoking them. In a function call, the
function name is followed by parentheses enclosing an argument list. The parentheses
are technically the “function call operator”. The operators are invoked “infix”
meaning the first operand precedes the operator, and the second operand follows.
