The operators available in Java are divided in the
following categories
• Relational Operators
• Arithmetic Operators
• Logical Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Misc Operators
• Assignment Operators
The Arithmetic Operators:
Variables for performing arithmetic operations
class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// declare variables
int a = 12, b = 5;
// addition operator
System.out.println("a + b = " + (a + b));
// subtraction operator
System.out.println("a - b = " + (a - b));
// multiplication operator
System.out.println("a * b = " + (a * b));
// division operator
System.out.println("a / b = " + (a / b));
// modulo operator
System.out.println("a % b = " + (a % b));
}}
Output
a + b = 17 a - b = 7 a * b = 60 a / b = 2 a % b = 2
The Relational Operators:
Relational operators are used to check the
relationship between two operands.
class Main
{
{
// create variables
int a = 7, b = 11;
// value of a and b
System.out.println("a is " + a + " and b is " + b);
// == operator
System.out.println(a == b); // false
// != operator
System.out.println(a != b); // true
// > operator
System.out.println(a > b); // false
// < operator
System.out.println(a < b); // true
// >= operator
System.out.println(a >= b); // false
// <= operator
System.out.println(a <= b); // true
}}
The Bitwise Operators:
Bitwise operators in Java are used to perform
operations on individual bits
• For instance, if you consider the example of an
integer x, which has the value 60. Therefore,
the binary equivalent of x is 00111100.
Consider another variable y, with the value 13
or 00001101. If we perform the bitwise
operation & on these two numbers, then you
will get the following result: x&y = 0000 1100
The Logical Operators:
Logical operators are used to check whether an
expression is true or false. They are used in
decision making.
class Main
{
{
// && operator
System.out.println((5 > 3) && (8 > 5)); // true System.out.println((5
> 3) && (8 < 5)); // false
// || operator
System.out.println((5 < 3) || (8 > 5)); // true System.out.println((5 >
3) || (8 < 5)); // true System.out.println((5 < 3) || (8 < 5)); // false
// ! operator
System.out.println(!(5 == 3)); // true System.out.println(!(5 > 3)); //
false
}}
Working of Program
• (5 > 3) && (8 > 5) returns true because both (5 > 3) and (8
> 5) are true.
• (5 > 3) && (8 < 5) returns false because the expression (8 <
5) is false.
• (5 < 3) || (8 > 5) returns true because the expression (8 >
5) is true.
• (5 > 3) || (8 < 5) returns true because the expression (5 >
3) is true.
• (5 < 3) || (8 < 5) returns false because both (5 < 3) and (8
< 5) are false.
• !(5 == 3) returns true because 5 == 3 is false.
• !(5 > 3) returns false because 5 > 3 is true.
Assignment Operators
• Assignment operators are used in Java to
assign values to variables. For example,
• int age; age = 5;
• Here, = is the assignment operator. It assigns
the value on its right to the variable on its left.
That is, 5 is assigned to the variable age.
class Main
{
{ // create variables
int a = 4;
int var;
// assign value using = var = a;
System.out.println("var using =: " + var);
// assign value using =+ var += a;
System.out.println("var using +=: " + var);
// assign value using =* var *= a;
System.out.println("var using *=: " + var);
}}
Output
• var using =: 4
• var using +=: 8
• var using *=: 32
Java Unary Operators
• Unary operators are used with only one
operand.
• For example, ++ is a unary operator that
increases the value of a variable by 1. That
is, ++5 will return 6.
Increment and Decrement Operators
• increases the value of the operand by 1,
while -- decrease it by 1. For example,
• int num = 5;
• // increase num by 1 ++num;Here, the value
of num gets increased to 6 from its initial
value of 5.
class Main
{
{
// declare variables
int a = 12, b = 12;
int result1, result2;
// original value S
ystem.out.println("Value of a: " + a);
// increment operator result1 = ++a;
System.out.println("After increment: " + result1);
System.out.println("Value of b: " + b);
// decrement operator result2 = --b;
System.out.println("After decrement: " + result2); } }
Run Code
Output
Value of a: 12
After increment: 13
Value of b: 12
After decrement: 11
Java instanceof Operator
The instanceof operator checks whether an object is an
instanceof a particular class
class Main
{
{
String str = "Programiz";
boolean result;
// checks if str is an instance of
// the String class
result = str instanceof String;
System.out.println("Is str an object of String? " + result);
}}
• Output
Is str an object of String? True
Here, str is an instance of the String class.

Hence, the instanceof operator returns true
Java Ternary Operator
• The ternary operator (conditional operator) is
shorthand for the if-then-else statement.
For example,
• variable = Expression ? expression1 :
expression2Here's how it works.
• If the Expression is true, expression1 is
assigned to the variable.
• If the Expression is false, expression2 is
assigned to the variable.
class Java
{
{
int februaryDays = 29;
String result;
// ternary operator
result = (februaryDays == 28) ? "Not a leap year" :
"Leap year";
System.out.println(result);
}}
