Java Operators

Java operators are symbols that is used to perform mathematical or logical manipulations. Java is rich with built-in operators.

There are many types of operators available in Java such as:

Arithmetic Operators, Relational Operators, Logical Operators, Bitwise Operators, Assignment Operators and Misc Operators.

Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Description
+	Addition
–	Subtraction
*	Multiplication
/	Division
%	Modulus
++	Increment
−−	Decrement

Relational Operators

Operator	Description
==	Is equal to
!=	Is not equal to
>	Greater than
<	Less than
>=	Greater than or equal to
<=	Less than or equal to

Logical Operators

Operator	Description
&&	And operator. Performs a logical conjunction on two expressions. (if both expressions evaluate to True, result is True. If either expression evaluates to False, result is False)
||	Or operator. Performs a logical disjunction on two expressions. (if either or both expressions evaluate to True, result is True)
!	Not operator. Performs logical negation on an expression.

Bitwise Operators

Operator	Description
<<	Binary Left Shift Operator
>>	Binary Right Shift Operator
>>>	Shift right zero fill operator
~	Binary Ones Complement Operator
&	Binary AND Operator
^	Binary XOR Operator
|	Binary OR Operator

Assignment Operators

Operator	Description
=	Assign
+=	Increments, then assigns
-=	Decrements, then assigns
*=	Multiplies, then assigns
/=	Divides, then assigns
%=	Modulus, then assigns
<<=	Left shift and assigns
>>=	Right shift and assigns
&=	Bitwise AND assigns
^=	Bitwise exclusive OR and assigns
|=	Bitwise inclusive OR and assigns

Programs to Show How Assignment Operator Works

Example:

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

public class arithop {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  int number1 = 6;
  int number2 = 8;
  int sum = number1 + number2;
  int dif = number1 - number2;
  int mul = number1 * number2;
  int quot = number1 / number2;
  int rem = number1 % number2;
  
  System.out.println("number1 is : " + number1);
  System.out.println("number2 is: " + number2);
  System.out.println("Sum is: " + sum);
  System.out.println("Difference is : " + dif);
  System.out.println("Multiplied value is : " + mul);
  System.out.println("Quotient is : " + quot);
  System.out.println("Remainder is : " + rem);
 }
}

Misc Operators

Java supports some special operators such as:

Operator	Description
Conditional(Ternary) Operator ( ? : )	Operator is used to decide which value should be assigned to the variable.
instanceOf Operator	Object reference variables

Programs to Show How Conditional Operator Works

Example:

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

public class optexp {
 public static void main(String args[]) {
  int a, b;
  a = 10;
  b = (a == 1) ? 40 : 60;
  System.out.println("Value of b is : " + b);
  b = (a == 10) ? 20 : 40;
  System.out.println("Value of b is : " + b);
 }
}
