Re: operators the little green thingys
Abs=absolute value operator (look it up)
Round=Rounds a decimal to the nearest whole number
Mod=Modulo operator (look it up)

Re: operators the little green thingys
[blocks](( <mod> ))[/blocks] returns the remainder you get when you divide the first number by the second number.
[blocks]<round( [/blocks] returns the number rounded up.
[blocks]<abs( [/blocks] returns the absolute value of the number. This means that if the number is negative, it returns the positive form of the number, and just returns the number if it's positive.

If you're using the forum blocks it's a good idea to put [blocks][/blocks] around them to stop the rest of your post going bold.

[block]<abs( )[/block] I have no clue either.
abs() returns the absolute value of a number. It's essentially the number's distance from 0; abs(17) is 17, and abs(-17) is also 17.
