# Scalar Arithmetic

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Scalar Arithmetic node** for arrays of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It applies one operation — addition, multiplication, even matrix multiplication — to all array values at once.

This Node can be used to easily modify all of an Array's values, for example, by adding or multiplying values, or even passing them through a matrix multiplication.
