Examples

We create an element with a width determined using a calc() function, then console.log() the operator.

html

<div>has width</div>

We assign a width with a calculation

css

div {
  width: calc(30% - 20px);
}

We add the JavaScript

js

const styleMap = document.querySelector("div").computedStyleMap();

console.log(styleMap.get("width")); // CSSMathSum {values: CSSNumericArray, operator: "sum"}
console.log(styleMap.get("width").operator); // 'sum'
console.log(styleMap.get("width").values[1].value); // -20

The CSSMathValue.operator returns 'sum' because styleMap.get('width').values[1].value ); is -20: adding a negative number.
