OPERATORS IN JAVA
TYPES OF OPERATORS
Operator- Is a predefined symbol which is used to perform a specific task
on the given data. The data given as a input to the operator is called as
operand.

Based on the number of operands, operators are classified as:
TYPES OF OPERATORS(Based on
operands
Unary Binary Ternary
TYPES OF
OPERATORS(Based on the
number of operands
Unary Binary Ternary
The operator which can accept The operator which can The operator which can
only one operand is known as accept two operands is accept three operands
unary operator. known as binary operator. operand is known as unary
operator.
Classification of operators
1. Ari thematic operator
2. Assignment operator
3. Relational operator
4. Logical operator
5. Increment / Decrement operator
6. Conditional operator
7. Miscellaneous
8. Bitwise operator
ARI THEMATIC OPERATORS
Operator Operation
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiply
/ Division
% Modulus(Remainder after
division)
ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS
Operator Example Equivalent to
= a=5; Assign a value
+= a+=b; a=a+b;
-= a-=b; a=a-b
*= a*=b; a=a*b
/= a/=b; a=a/b
%= a%=b; a=a%b
RELATIONAL OPERATORS
Compare the relation between to operands
5>2 (true)
5<2 (false)
5==5 (true)
5>=5 (true)
5>=2 (true)
5 >=17 (false)
5 != 2 (true)
5!=5 (false)
RELATIONAL OPERATOR
Operator Function
== Is equal to
!= Not equal to
> Greater than
< Less than
>= Greater
<= Less than
LOGICAL OPERATOR
Operator Function
&&(logical AND) If all the expression returns true
then this operator will return
true.
||(Logical OR) If any of one of the expression
return true then this operator
will return true.
!(Logical NOT)
If the result is true then it will
return false and vice-versa.
Operand Operand Output Operand Operand Output
1 2 1 2

true false false true false true
false true false false true true
false false false false false false

CONDITIONAL OPERATOR
It is a ternary operator
• The return type of operand 1 must
Syntax : be Boolean
Operand 1 ? Operand 2 : Operand 3; • If the condition is true , statement 1
will get executed else statement 2
Statement 1 ? Statement 2 : will get executed.
Statement 3;
op1 ? op2 : op3
tru Executes
e operand 2
false Executes

INCREMENT OPERATOR
Operator Operations
++a (pre-increment) I. Increment the value by 1 and update
II. Substitute the updated value
III. Use the substituted value
Operator Operations
a++(post-increment) I. Substitute
II. Increase the value by 1
III. Use the substituted value
DECREMENT OPERATOR
Operator Operations
--a (pre-decrement) I. Decrease the value by 1 and update
II. Substitute the updated value
III. Use the substituted value
Operator Operations
A--(post-decrement) I. Substitute
II. Decrease the value by 1
III. Use the substituted value
