Q.1 . What is an Operator ? Mention Java operators.
Ans :
Operator is a symbol which is used to perform operations. For example: +, -, *, / etc.
There are many types of operators in Java which are given below:
● Unary Operator,
● Arithmetic Operator,
● Shift Operator,
● Relational Operator,
● Bitwise Operator,
● Logical Operator,
● Ternary Operator and
● Assignment Operator.

Java Unary Operator
The Java unary operators require only one operand. Unary operators are used to perform various
operations i.e.:
● incrementing/decrementing a value by one
● negating an expression
● inverting the value of a boolean
Java Arithmetic Operators
Java arithmatic operators are used to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They
act as basic mathematical operations.
class OperatorExample
public static void main(String args[])
int a=10;
int b=5;
[Link](a+b);//15
[Link](a-b);//5
[Link](a*b);//50
[Link](a/b);//2
[Link](a%b);//0
Java Left Shift Operator
The Java left shift operator << is used to shift all of the bits in a value to the left side of a specified
number of times.
class OperatorExample
public static void main(String args[])
{
[Link](10<<2);//10*2^2=10*4=40
[Link](10<<3);//10*2^3=10*8=80
[Link](20<<2);//20*2^2=20*4=80
[Link](15<<4);//15*2^4=15*16=240
Java Right Shift Operator
The Java right shift operator >> is used to move left operands value to right by the number of bits
specified by the right operand.
class OperatorExample
public static void main(String args[])
[Link](10>>2);//10/2^2=10/4=2
[Link](20>>2);//20/2^2=20/4=5
[Link](20>>3);//20/2^3=20/8=2
Java Ternary Operator
Java Ternary operator is used as one liner replacement for if-then-else statement and used a lot in
Java programming. it is the only conditional operator which takes three operands.
Java Assignment Operator
Java assignment operator is one of the most common operator. It is used to assign the value on its
right to the operand on its left.
Java Assignment Operator
Java assignment operator is one of the most common operator. It is used to assign the value on its
right to the operand on its left.
Q. 2. Write short note son :
Arithmetic operators, Bitwise operators, Relational operators, Boolean logical
operators, Assignment operator and Conditional operator.
Ans :
Arithmetic operators:
Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions in the same way that they are used in
algebra. A value used on either side of an operator is called an operand.For example, in below
statement the expression 47 + 3, the numbers 47 and 3 are operands. The arithmetic
operators are examples of binary operators because they require two operands. The
operands of the arithmetic operators must be of a numeric type.
Bitwise Operator :
Java defines several bitwise operators, which can be applied to the integer types, long, int, short,
char, and byte.
Bitwise operator works on bits and performs the bit-by-bit operation.
The following table lists the bitwise operators −
Relational Operator:
Relational Operators in Java are used to comparing two variables for equality, non-equality, greater
than, less than, etc. Java relational operator always returns a boolean value – true or false.
Java has 6 relational operators.
1. == is the equality operator. This returns true if both the operands are referring to the same
object, otherwise false.
2. != is for non-equality operator. It returns true if both the operands are referring to the different
objects, otherwise false.
3. < is less than operator.
4. > is greater than operator.
5. <= is less than or equal to operator.
6. >= is greater than or equal to operator.
Boolean Logical Operator:
The Boolean logical operators are : | , & , ^ , ! , || , && , == , != . Java supplies a primitive data
type called Boolean, instances of which can take the value true or false only, and have the default
value false. The major use of Boolean facilities is to implement the expressions which control if
decisions and while loops.
These operators act on Boolean operands according to this table
A B A|B A&B A^B !A
false false false false false true
true false true false true false
false true true false true true
true true true true false false
| the OR operator
& the AND operator
^ the XOR operator
! the NOT operator
|| the short-circuit OR operator
&& the short-circuit AND operator
== the EQUAL TO operator
!= the NOT EQUAL TO operator
Assignment Operators:
It's very common to see statement like the following, where you're adding something to a variable. Java Variables
are assigned, or given, values using one of the assignment operators. The variable are always on the left-hand side
of the assignment operator and the value to be assigned is always on the right-hand side of the assignment
operator. The assignment operator is evaluated from right to left, so a = b = c = 0; would assign 0 to c, then c to b
then b to a.
i = i + 2;
Here we say that we are assigning i's value to the new value which is i+2.
A shortcut way to write assignments like this is to use the += operator. It's one operator symbol so don't
put blanks between the + and =.
i += 2; // Same as "i = i + 2"
Conditional Operators:
Java has the conditional operator. It's a ternary operator -- that is, it has three operands -- and it comes in two
pieces, ? and :, that have to be used together. It takes the form
Boolean-expression ? expression-1 : expression-2
The JVM tests the value of Boolean-expression. If the value is true, it evaluates expression-1; otherwise, it
evaluates expression-2. For
Example
if (a > b) {
max = a;
else {
max = b;
Setting a single variable to one of two states based on a single condition is such a common use of if-else that a
shortcut has been devised for it, the conditional operator, ?:. Using the conditional operator you can rewrite the
above example in a single line like this:
max = (a > b) ? a : b;
Q.3 Discuss the conditional statement in Java.
Ans:
Java has the following conditional statements:
Use if to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true
Use else to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is false
Use else if to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is false
Use switch to specify many alternative blocks of code to be executed
The if Statement :
Use the if statement to specify a block of Java code to be executed if a condition is
true.
Syntax:
if (condition)
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
}
The else statement:
Use the else statement to specify a block of code to be executed if the condition is
false.
Syntax :
if (condition)
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition is true
}
else
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition is false
}
The else if statement:
Use the else if statement to specify a new condition if the first condition is false.
Syntax:
if (condition1)
{
// block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
}
else if (condition2)
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
}
else
{
// block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
}
Switch Statement :
The java switch statement is used to select one of many code blocks to be executed.
Syntax:
switch(expression)
{
case x:
// code block
break;
case y:
// code block
break;
default:
// code block
}
This is how it works:
● The switch expression is evaluated once.
● The value of the expression is compared with the values of each case.
● If there is a match, the associated block of code is executed.
● The break and default keywords are optional, and will be described later in this
chapter
[Link] the Iterative Statement in Java.
Ans:
In programming languages, loops are used to execute a set of instructions/functions repeatedly
when some conditions become true. There are three types of loops in Java.
● for loop
● while loop
● do-while loop
OR
Loops in Java
Looping in programming languages is a feature which facilitates the execution of a set of
instructions/functions repeatedly while some condition evaluates to true.
Java provides three ways for executing the loops. While all the ways provide similar basic functionality,
they differ in their syntax and condition checking time.
I) while loop: A while loop is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based
on a given Boolean condition. The while loop can be thought of as a repeating if statement.
Syntax :
while (boolean condition)
{
loop statements...
}
Flowchart:
● While loop starts with the checking of condition. If it evaluated to true, then the
loop body statements are executed otherwise first statement following the loop is
executed. For this reason it is also called Entry control loop
● Once the condition is evaluated to true, the statements in the loop body are
executed. Normally the statements contain an update value for the variable being
processed for the next iteration.
● When the condition becomes false, the loop terminates which marks the end of its
life cycle.
ii) for loop: for loop provides a concise way of writing the loop structure. Unlike a
while loop, a for statement consumes the initialization, condition and
increment/decrement in one line thereby providing a shorter, easy to debug
structure of looping.
Syntax:
for (initialization condition; testing condition; increment/decrement)
{
statement(s)
}
Flowchart:
1. Initialization condition: Here, we initialize the variable in use. It marks the start of a
for loop. An already declared variable can be used or a variable can be declared,
local to loop only.
2. Testing Condition: It is used for testing the exit condition for a loop. It must return
a boolean value. It is also an Entry Control Loop as the condition is checked prior to
the execution of the loop statements.
3. Statement execution: Once the condition is evaluated to true, the statements in the
loop body are executed.
4. Increment/ Decrement: It is used for updating the variable for next iteration.
5. Loop termination:When the condition becomes false, the loop terminates marking
the end of its life cycle.
iii) do while: do while loop is similar to while loop with only difference that it checks
for condition after executing the statements, and therefore is an example of Exit
Control Loop.
Syntax:
do
{
statements..
}
while (condition);
Flowchart:
1. do while loop starts with the execution of the statement(s). There is no checking of
any condition for the first time.
2. After the execution of the statements, and update of the variable value, the condition
is checked for true or false value. If it is evaluated to true, next iteration of loop
starts.
3. When the condition becomes false, the loop terminates which marks the end of its
life cycle.
4. It is important to note that the do-while loop will execute its statements atleast once
before any condition is checked, and therefore is an example of exit control loop.

Q.6. Discuss Jump Statements in Java.
Ans:
In Java, Jump statements are used to unconditionally transfer program control from one
point to elsewhere in the program. Jump statements are primarily used to interrupt loop or
switch-case instantly. Java supports three jump statements: break, continue, and return.
Break Statement :
The Java break statement is used to break loop or switch statement. It breaks the current flow of the
program at specified condition. In case of inner loop, it breaks only inner loop.
We can use Java break statement in all types of loops such as for loop, while loop and do-while loop.
Syntax:
jump-statement;
break;
Example:
public class BreakExample
public static void main(String[] args)
//using for loop
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
if(i==5)
//breaking the loop
break;
[Link](i);
Continue statement:
The continue statement is used in loop control structure when you need to jump to the next iteration
of the loop immediately. It can be used with for loop or while loop.
The Java continue statement is used to continue the loop. It continues the current flow of the
program and skips the remaining code at the specified condition. In case of an inner loop, it
continues the inner loop only.
We can use Java continue statement in all types of loops such as for loop, while loop and do-while
loop.
Syntax:
jump-statement;
continue;
Example:
public class ContinueExample
public static void main(String[] args)
//for loop
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
if(i==5)
//using continue statement
continue;//it will skip the rest statement
[Link](i);
THE Return Statement
This statement is mainly used in methods in order to terminate a method in between and
return back to the caller method. It is an optional statement. That is, even if a method
doesn't include a return statement, control returns back to the caller method after execution
of the method. Return statement mayor may not return parameters to the caller method.
…………………………….
Q.9. Difference between break and continue Statement in java.
Ans:
break statement continue statement
It terminates the execution of the It terminates only the current iteration of the
remaining iteration of the loop. loop.
break resumes the control of the continue resumes the control of the program
program to the end of loop enclosing to the next iteration of that loop enclosing
that 'break'. continue.
It causes early termination of a loop. It causes early execution of the next iteration.
break stops the continuation of the continuation of loop. continue do not stop the
loop. continuation of the loop, it only stops the
current iteration.
the break can be used with switch, continue can not be executed with switch and
label. labels.
