Java Operators

Java Operators

Java Operators are generally used in order to execute the operations on the variables and values. Java language is known to avail the programmers a rich set of the operators to manipulate the variables. Operator in the java language is basically a symbol that is generally used to perform the operations.

Here is an example of the operators in Java, in this example it is being depicted that the + operator are used to add the two values together:

public class Demo 
{
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
    int sum = 100 + 50;
    System.out.println(sum);
  }
}

In Java language the + operator is frequently used to add the two values together, just like in the above mentioned example. This operator can be used to add a variable and a value, or a variable and another variable together.

Here is an example for the same:

public class Demo 
{
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
    int add1 = 100 + 50;
    int add2 = add1 + 250;
    int add3 = add2 + add2;
    System.out.println(add1);
    System.out.println(add2);
    System.out.println(add3);  
  }
}

There are five types of java operators that are frequently used in the language:

• Arithmetic operators
• Assignment operators
• Comparison operators
• Logical operators
• Bitwise operators

1. Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are the operators that are generally used in the mathematical expressions in the exact same way that they are used in the algebra. In simple words, arithmetic operators are basically used in order to perform some common mathematical operations.

Here is the table depicted below with the brief description of all the arithmetic operators along with an example:

2. Assignment Operators in Java

Assignment operators are the operators that are generally used to assign the values to variables.1

Here is a table that is depicting the entire assignment operator in the Java language:

3.Comparison Operators in Java

As the name suggests, the comparison operators in Java is used to compare between two values.

Here is the table that is depicting the comparison operator in java along with an example:

4.Logical Operators in Java

Logical operators are the operators that are basically used to determine the logic between the variables or values. This operator works like its name.

Here is the table that is depicting the logical operators in java along with a description and an example:

5.Bitwise Operators in Java

Several bitwise operators are defined by the Java language that can be generally be applied to the integer types, like long, int, char, short, and byte. The working of the bitwise operator generally involves working on bits and they performs bit-by-bit operation.

Here is the table that is depicting the bitwise operators along with the examples and the description:
