Operators

Operators

Operator is a special symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical Operation. Java supports following lists of operators.

• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational Operators
• Logical Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Ternary or Conditional Operators

Arithmetic Operators

Given table shows all the Arithmetic operator supported by Java Language. Lets suppose variable A hold 8 and B hold 3.

Operator	Example (int A=6, B=4)	Result
+	A+B	10
-	A-B	2
*	A*B	24
/	A/B	3
%	A%4	0.24

Relational Operators

Which can be used to check the Condition, it always return true or false. Lets suppose variable A hold 8 and B hold 3.

Operators	Example (int A=7, B=3)	Result
<	A<B	False
<=	A<=10	True
>	A>B	True
>=	A<=B	False
==	A== B	False
!=	A!=(-4)	True

Logical Operator

Which can be used to combine more than one Condition?. Suppose you want to combined two conditions A<B and B>C, then you need to use Logical Operator like (A<B) && (B>C). Here && is Logical Operator.

Operator	Example (int A=7, B=3, C=-11)	Result
&&	(A<B) && (B>C)	False
||	(B!=-C) || (A==B)	True
!	!(B<=-A)	True

Truth table of Logical Operator

C1	C2	C1 && C2	C1 || C2	!C1	!C2
T	T	T	T	F	F
T	F	F	T	F	T
F	T	F	T	T	F
F	F	F	F	T	T

Assignment operators

Which can be used to assign a value to a variable. Lets suppose variable A hold 8 and B hold 3.

Operator	Example (int A=9, B=4)	Result
+=	A+=B or A=A+B	13
-=	A-=3 or A=A-3	6
*=	A*=7 or A=A*7	63
/=	A/=B or A=A/B	2.25
%=	A%=5 or A=A%5	0.45

Ternary operator

If any operator is used on three operands or variable is known as ternary operator. It can be represented with " ?: "
