Operators in java in java ~ foundjava

Operator in java is a symbol that 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.

2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. int x=10;  
4. System.out.println(x++);//10 (11)  
5. System.out.println(++x);//12  
6. System.out.println(x--);//12 (11)  
7. System.out.println(--x);//10  
8. }}

8.     System.out.println(-20>>>2);  
9. }}  

Output:

5
5
-5

Java AND Operator Example: Logical && and Bitwise &

The logical && operator doesn't check second condition if first condition is false. It checks second condition only if first one is true.

The bitwise & operator always checks both conditions whether first condition is true or false.

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. int a=10;  
4. int b=5;  
5. int c=20;  
6. System.out.println(a<b&&a<c);//false && true = false  
7. System.out.println(a<b&a<c);//false & true = false  
8. }}  

Output:

false
false

Java AND Operator Example: Logical && vs Bitwise &

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. int a=10;  
4. int b=5;  
5. int c=20;  
6. System.out.println(a<b&&a++<c);//false && true = false  
7. System.out.println(a);//10 because second condition is not checked  
8. System.out.println(a<b&a++<c);//false && true = false  
9. System.out.println(a);//11 because second condition is checked  
10. }}  

Output:

false
10
false
11

Java OR Operator Example: Logical || and Bitwise |

The logical || operator doesn't check second condition if first condition is true. It checks second condition only if first one is false.

The bitwise | operator always checks both conditions whether first condition is true or false.

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. int a=10;  
4. int b=5;  
5. int c=20;  
6. System.out.println(a>b||a<c);//true || true = true  
7. System.out.println(a>b|a<c);//true | true = true  
8. //|| vs |  
9. System.out.println(a>b||a++<c);//true || true = true  
10. System.out.println(a);//10 because second condition is not checked  
11. System.out.println(a>b|a++<c);//true | true = true  
12. System.out.println(a);//11 because second condition is checked

true
true
10
true

5. int min=(a<b)?a:b;  
6. System.out.println(min);  
7. }}  

Output:

2

Another Example:

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. int a=10;  
4. int b=5;  
5. int min=(a<b)?a:b;  
6. System.out.println(min);  
7. }}  

Output:

5

Java Assignment Operator Example

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. int a=10;  
4. int b=20;  
5. a+=4;//a=a+4 (a=10+4)  
6. b-=4;//b=b-4 (b=20-4)  
7. System.out.println(a);  
8. System.out.println(b);  
9. }}  

Output:

14
16

Java Assignment Operator Example

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String[] args){  
3. int a=10;  
4. a+=3;//10+3  
5. System.out.println(a);  
6. a-=4;//13-4  
7. System.out.println(a);  
8. a*=2;//9*2  
9. System.out.println(a);  
10. a/=2;//18/2  
11. System.out.println(a);  
12. }}  

Output:

13
9
18
9

Java Assignment Operator Example: Adding short

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. short a=10;  
4. short b=10;  
5. //a+=b;//a=a+b internally so fine  
6. a=a+b;//Compile time error because 10+10=20 now int  
7. System.out.println(a);  
8. }}  

Output:

Compile time error

After type cast:

1. class OperatorExample{  
2. public static void main(String args[]){  
3. short a=10;  
4. short b=10;  
5. a=(short)(a+b);//20 which is int now converted to short  
6. System.out.println(a);  
7. }}  

Output:

20
