In most contexts, operations are functions. A function is a relationship between an input set (1 or more) and potential output.
An operation is usually said to be unary (1 input. For example: negative, square, square root, or factorial) or binary (2 inputs. For example: add, subtract, multiply, divide, or modulo).
Typically the term operation is reserved for calculations that are axiomatic, whereas functions are composites of operations.
In computer programming languages the distinction is typically only symbolic.

fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
What is fundamental operation?
A fundamental operation, also known as the parent function. Is a function in its most basic form. For example the fundamental operation of 3x^2+2 is x^2 and the fo for 15(sin(24x)) is sin(x). Another definition is that you have to be able to change the parent function with geometry (dilation, translation, and flip) to get the function you have.
What operation should be used if a problem asks you to find the difference?
subtraction
