Java Operators – Detailed Notes

1. Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical calculations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, and remainder operations.

Operator Meaning Example


+ Addition of two numbers a+b
- Subtraction of two numbers a-b
* Multiplication of two numbers a*b
/ Division of two numbers a/b
% Returns remainder after division a%b

Example:
int a = 10, b = 3; [Link](a + b); [Link](a % b);

2. Unary Operators

Unary operators operate on a single operand. They are mainly used for incrementing,
decrementing, or negating values.

Operator Meaning
+ Indicates positive value
- Negates value
++ Increments value by 1
-- Decrements value by 1
! Reverses boolean value

Example:
int a = 5; a++; [Link](a);

3. Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables and combine arithmetic operations
with assignment.

Operator Meaning
= Assigns value
Operator Meaning
+= Adds and assigns value
-= Subtracts and assigns value
*= Multiplies and assigns value
/= Divides and assigns value
%= Modulus and assigns value

Example:
int a = 10; a += 5; [Link](a);

4. Relational Operators

Relational operators are used to compare two values. The result of comparison is always boolean
(true or false).

Operator Meaning
== Checks equality
!= Checks inequality
> Checks greater value
< Checks smaller value
>= Checks greater or equal value
<= Checks smaller or equal value

Example:
int a = 10, b = 5; [Link](a > b);

5. Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine multiple conditions. They are mainly used in decision
making.

Operator Meaning
&& Returns true if both conditions are true
|| Returns true if at least one condition is true
! Reverses result of condition

Example:
int a = 10; if(a > 5 && a < 20) [Link]("Valid");
6. Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators perform operations at binary level (bit by bit). They are used in low-level
programming and optimization.

Operator Meaning
& Bitwise AND
| Bitwise OR
^ Bitwise XOR
~ Bitwise Complement
<< Left Shift bits
>> Right Shift bits
>>> Unsigned Right Shift

Example:
int a = 5; [Link](a << 1);

7. Ternary Operator

The ternary operator is a shorthand form of if-else statement used to decide between two values.

Syntax: condition ? value1 : value2;

Example: int a = 10, b = 20; int max = (a > b) ? a : b;

8. instanceof Operator

The instanceof operator checks whether an object belongs to a specific class or interface.

Example: String name = "Java"; [Link](name instanceof String);
