Java Operators

 In Java, operators are special symbols or keywords that perform operations on one or more operands (variables, literals, or expressions). Java has several types of operators:

  1. Arithmetic Operators: Arithmetic operators perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus. Examples of arithmetic operators in Java are + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), and % (modulus).

  2. Assignment Operators: Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. Examples of assignment operators in Java are = (simple assignment), += (additive assignment), -= (subtractive assignment), *= (multiplicative assignment), /= (division assignment), and %= (modulus assignment).

  3. Comparison Operators: Comparison operators are used to compare two values and return a boolean value (true or false). Examples of comparison operators in Java are == (equality), != (inequality), < (less than), > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to), and >= (greater than or equal to).

  4. Logical Operators: Logical operators are used to perform logical operations on boolean values. Examples of logical operators in Java are && (logical AND), || (logical OR), and ! (logical NOT).

  5. Bitwise Operators: Bitwise operators are used to perform operations on individual bits of binary values. Examples of bitwise operators in Java are & (bitwise AND), | (bitwise OR), ^ (bitwise XOR), ~ (bitwise NOT), << (left shift), and >> (right shift).

  6. Conditional Operator: The conditional operator (also known as the ternary operator) is a shorthand for if-then-else statement. The syntax of the conditional operator is as follows: condition ? expression1 : expression2. If the condition is true, expression1 is evaluated; otherwise, expression2 is evaluated.

  7. Increment and Decrement Operators: Increment and decrement operators are used to increase or decrease the value of a variable by 1. Examples of increment and decrement operators in Java are ++ (increment) and -- (decrement).

These operators are essential building blocks of programming in Java, and understanding their behavior and usage is crucial for developing efficient and effective Java programs.
