Operators in Java

Operator in Java is a symbol which is used to perform operations. For example: +, -, *, / etc.

There are many types of operators in Java which are given below:

• Unary Operator,

• Arithmetic Operator,

• Shift Operator,

• Relational Operator,

• Bitwise Operator,

• Logical Operator,

• Ternary Operator and

• Assignment Operator.

Java Unary Operator

The Java unary operators require only one operand. Unary operators are used to perform various operations i.e.:

• incrementing/decrementing a value by one

Java Unary Operator Example: ++ and --

class OperatorExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

int x=10;

System.out.println(x++);//10 (11)

System.out.println(++x);//12

System.out.println(x--);//12 (11)

System.out.println(--x);//10

}}

Java Arithmetic Operators

Java arithmatic operators are used to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They act as basic mathematical operations.

Java Arithmetic Operator Example

class OperatorExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

int a=10;

int b=5;

System.out.println(a+b);//15

System.out.println(a-b);//5

System.out.println(a*b);//50

System.out.println(a/b);//2

System.out.println(a%b);//0

}}

Java Left Shift Operator

The Java left shift operator << is used to shift all of the bits in a value to the left side of a specified number of times.

Java Left Shift Operator Example

class OperatorExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

System.out.println(10<<2);//10*2^2=10*4=40

System.out.println(10<<3);//10*2^3=10*8=80

System.out.println(20<<2);//20*2^2=20*4=80

System.out.println(15<<4);//15*2^4=15*16=240

}}

Java Right Shift Operator

The Java right shift operator >> is used to move left operands value to right by the number of bits specified by the right operand.

Java Right Shift Operator Example

class OperatorExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

System.out.println(10>>2);//10/2^2=10/4=2

System.out.println(20>>2);//20/2^2=20/4=5

System.out.println(20>>3);//20/2^3=20/8=2

}}

Java Ternary Operator

Java Ternary operator is used as one liner replacement for if-then-else statement and used a lot in Java programming. it is the only conditional operator which takes three operands.

Java Ternary Operator Example

class OperatorExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

int a=2;

int b=5;

int min=(a<b)?a:b;

System.out.println(min);

}}
