Java Operators Explained: Types & Usage

The document provides an overview of operators in Java, including arithmetic, unary, binary, ternary, relational, and logical operators. It explains their usage, syntax, and examples, along with concepts like increment/decrement operators, shorthand notation, and the difference between assignment and relational operators. Additionally, it covers operator precedence and the use of the dot and new operators for accessing class members and creating objects, respectively.

OPERATORS IN JAVA

1. Operators
• Operators are symbols used to perform operations on variables and values.
• Example: + , - , * , / , %

2. Arithmetic Operators
Operator Use
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Modulus (remainder)
Use of % with int and float
• With int → gives integer remainder
• 10 % 3 = 1
• With float → gives decimal remainder
• 10.5 % 2 = 0.5

3. Types of Operators Based on Operands


Unary Operator
• Works on one operand
Example:
++a, --a,
-a, +a(positive and negative numbers)

Binary Operator
• Works on two operands
Example:
a + b, x > y

Ternary Operator
• Works on three operands
• Also called conditional operator
Syntax
condition ? value1 : value2
Conversion
if–else
if(a > b)
max = a;
else
max = b;
Ternary
max = (a > b) ? ((a>c)?a:c) : (b>c)?b:c;
Conversion
if (a > b && a > c)
max = a;
else if (b > c)
max = b;
else
max = c;

4. Unary Increment and Decrement Operators


Operator Meaning
++ Increment by 1
-- Decrement by 1
Prefix Notation
• Value changes before use
++a;
Postfix Notation
• Value changes after use
a++;

5. Counter
• Variable used to count occurrences
• Uses increment or decrement
Example:
count++;

6. Accumulator
• Variable used to store total or sum
• Uses + or other arithmetic operators
Example:
sum = sum + n;

7. Shorthand Notation
• Short form of assignment and arithmetic operators
Shorthand Meaning
+= a=a+b
-= a=a-b
*= a=a*b
/= a=a/b

8. Relational Operators
• Used to compare two values
• Result is always true or false
Operators
> , < , >= , <= , == , !=
Syntax
a>b

9. Logical Operators
• Used to combine conditions
• Result is true or false
Operator Meaning Example
&& AND a>5 && b<10
|| OR a>5 || b<10
! NOT !(a>b)

10. Dot (.) Operator


• Used to access members of a class
Example:
[Link]();

11. new Operator


• Used to create an object
• Allocates memory at runtime
Example:
Student s = new Student();

12. Precedence of Operators


(Order of execution)
1. Parentheses ( )
2. Arithmetic * / %
3. Arithmetic + -
4. Relational < > <= >= == !=
5. Logical !
6. Logical &&
7. Logical ||
8. Assignment =

13. + Operator as Concatenation


• Used to join string with values
Example:
[Link]("Sum = " + total);

14. Assignment Operator


• Used to assign value to a variable
Example:
a = 10;

15. Difference Between == and =


= ==
Assignment operator Relational operator
Assigns value Compares values
Example: a = 5; Example: a == b
