Java arithmetic operators
Arithmetic Operators in Java Programming
- The basic arithmetic operations in Java Programming are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Arithmetic Operations are operated on Numeric Data Types as expected.
- Arithmetic Operators can be Overloaded.
- Arithmetic Operators are “Binary” Operators i.e they operates on two operands.
Arithmetic Operators used in Java :
Operator | Use of Operator |
---|---|
+ | Use to Add Two Numbers and Also used to Concatenate two strings |
- | Used for Subtraction |
* | Used to multiply numbers |
/ | Used for Division |
% | Used for Finding Mod (Remainder Operator) |
Live Example 1 : Arithmetic Operators
class ArithmeticOperationsDemo { public static void main (String[] args){ // answer is now 3 int answer = 1 + 2; System.out.println(answer); // answer is now 2 answer = answer - 1; System.out.println(answer); // answer is now 4 answer = answer * 2; System.out.println(answer); // answer is now 2 answer = answer / 2; System.out.println(answer); // answer is now 10 answer = answer + 8; // answer is now 3 answer = answer % 7; System.out.println(answer); } }
Live Example 2 : Use of Modulus Operator
class ModulusOperatorDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { int x = 92; double y = 92.25; System.out.println("x mod 10 = " + x % 10); System.out.println("y mod 10 = " + y % 10); } }
Output :
x mod 10 = 2 y mod 10 = 2.25
Live Example 3 : Joining Two Strings
class AssignmentConcatDemo { public static void main(String[] args){ String firstName = "Pritesh"; String lastName = " Taral"; String fullName = firstName + lastname; System.out.println(fullname); } }
Output :
Pritesh Taral
