Product means to multiply the operands. The product of 5 and 6 is 30. Sum means to add the operands. The sum of 5 and 6 is 11.
The absolute value (that is the numerical value ignoring the sign) of the result is the operation done on the absolute value of the operands. If the signs of the operands are the same the result will be positive; otherwise the signs of the operands are different and the result will be negative. eg -2 × 5: the operands are of opposite signs (one positive, one negative), so the result will be negative and 2 × 5 = 10, thus -2 × 5 = -10; eg -2 × -5: the operands are of the same sign (both negative), so the result will be positive, and 2 × 5 = 10, thus -2 × -5 = 10; eg 10 ÷ -5; the operands are of opposite signs, so the result will be negative and 10 ÷ 5 = 2, thus 10 ÷ -5 = -2.
An additive operation is an operation which produces the sum of two operands.

A binary operator is simply an operator that works with two operands (for example, two numbers). The binary operator is usually written between the two operands. Examples include the familiar operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division - for example, in: 2 + 3 the "plus" is the binary operator, which works on the two numbers written on either side of it. What is an operator: Basically a function (calculation rule), written in a special way.
