An expression consists of variables & constants
separated by operators. J ava language uses many types
of operators as listed below.

Arithmetic Operator
4
Following table shows all the arithmetic operators supported by
J ava language. Assume variable A is 20 and B is 10, then:
Operator Description Example
+ Add two operands A+B = 30
- Subtract 2 nd operand from 1st A-B = 10
* Multiply both operand A*B = 200
/ Divides 1 st operand by 2 nd A/B = 2
operand
% Find the remainder A%B = 0
Relational Operator
5
It is used to compare the values of operand to produce a
logical value. A logical valu e is eith er true or false.
Following table shows all the relational operators
supported by J ava language.
Operator Meaning Example Result
< Less Than 10<5 false
<= Less Than or Equal to 5<=10 true
> Grater Than 10>5 true
>= Grater Than or Equal to 5>=10 false
== Equal to 5==10 false
!= Not equal to 5!=10 true
Logical Operator
6
Logical operators are used to connect more relational
operations to form a complex expression called logical
expression. A value obtained by evaluating a logical
expression is always logical, means either true or false.
J ava has the following three logical operator.
Operator Meaning Example Result
&& Logical And (5<2)&&(5>3) false
|| Logical Or (5<2)||(5>3) true
! Logical Not !(5<2) true
Increment & Decrement Operator
7
The increment operator (++) is used to increase the
value of the operands by 1 where decrement operator
(--) is used to reduce the value of the operands by 1.
Both are unary operators & take the following forms:
++a or a++ [means a=a+1]
--a or a-- [means a=a-1]
Example:
int x=5, y=10;
x++; / / means x=6
y--; / / means y=9
Increment & Decrement Operator (CONTD.)
8
++a and a++ means the same thing when they form
statements independently & they behave differently
when they are used in expression or the R . H . S . of a n
assignment statement.
Consider the following example
int x=10,y,z;
y=++x; / / pre-increment
printf (“X=%d Y=%d”, x,y); //X=11 & Y=11
z=x++; / / post-increment
printf (“X=%d Z=%d”, x,z); //X=12 & Z=11
Increment & Decrement Operator (CONTD.)
9
Similarly --a and a-- means the same thing when they form
statements independently & they behave differently when they
are used in expression or the R . H . S . of an assignment statement.
Consider the following example
int p=50,q,r;
q=--p; / / pre-decrement
printf (“P=%d Q=%d”, p,q); //P=49 & Q=49
r=p--; / / post-decrement
printf (“P=%d R=%d”, p,r); //P=48 & R=49
Assignment Operator
10
Assignment operators are used to assign the result of an
expression to a variable. We have seen the usual assignment
operator ‘=‘.
J ava has a set of ‘shorthand’ assignment operators of the
following form.
v op= exp;
Where ‘v’ is a variable, ‘exp’ is an expression and ‘op’ is a J ava
binary arithmetic operator.
The op= is known as the shorthand assignment operator.
The shorthand assignment statement
v op= exp;
is equivalent to
v = v op (exp);
with v evaluated only once.
Assignment Operator (CONTD.)
11
Example: Consider the following example
x += y*5;
This is same as the following statement
x = x + (y*5);
Some of the commonly used shorthand assignm ents
operators are illustrated in the following table.
Operator Example Equivalent
Expression
+= a+=10 a=a+10
-= a-=10 a=a-10
*= a*=10 a=a*10
/= a/=10 a=a/10
%= a%=10 a=a%10
Thank You.
