Understanding Java Operators Guide

This document provides an overview of Java operators, defining them as symbols that operate on operands to produce results. It categorizes operators into groups such as arithmetic, relational, assignment, bitwise, logical, and increment/decrement operators, and explains the functions of arithmetic and relational operators with examples. The document emphasizes the importance of operator precedence in mathematical expressions.

Java Operators

In this Chapter we are going to learn about

• What is an Operator?
• Operands
• Types of Operators
• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational Operators
What is an Operator?
• An Operator is a symbol that operates on one or more
arguments to produce result. Operators are key to
building large expressions in Java.
• Operands are the Values on which the operators act
upon.
Variable Operator

Operand
Types of Operators
• Java provides a rich set of operators to manipulate variables. We can
categorize all the commonly used Java operators into the following groups :

• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Logical Operators
• Increment and Decrement Operators
Arithmetic Operators
• The arithmetic operators are used to construct mathematical
expressions as in algebra. Their operands are of numeric type.
• Arithmetic operators follow the same precedence rules as in
mathematics. BODMAS is sometimes called PEMDAS in some
countries which is basically the same.
• Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction (BODMAS)
• Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction
(PEMDAS)
Arithmetic Operators List
Assume integral variable A holds 20 and variable B holds 10, then:
Operato Description Example
r
+ Addition – Adds values on either side of the operator A + B will give 30

- Subtraction – Subtracts right hand operand from the left A – B will give 10
hand operand
* Multiplication – Multiplies values on either side of the A * B will give 200
operator
/ Division – Divides left hand operand by right hand operand A / B will give 2

% Modulus – Divides left hand operand by right hand operand A % B will give 0
and returns remainder
Relational Operators

• A Relational operator compares two values and determines the relationship between them.
• The result will be a boolean value ( true or false )
Relational Operators List
Assume integral variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then:
Operato Description Example
r
== Equal to – Checks if the values of two operands are equal or ( A == B ) is not true .```
not , if yes then condition becomes true .
!= Not equal to – Checks if the values of two operands are equal or ( A != B ) is true .
not , if values are not equal then condition becomes true.
> Greater than – Checks if the value of left operand is greater than (A > B ) is not true .
the value of right operand , if yes then condition becomes true .
< Less than – Checks if the value of left operand is less than the (A < B ) is true .
value of right operand , if yes then condition becomes true .

>= Greater than or equal to – Checks if the value of left operand is (A >= B ) is not true .
greater than or equal to the value of right operand , if yes then
condition becomes true .
