Ch 4 – Operators in Java

 Difference b/w Operator & Operands

Operator – is a symbol or token, which performs arithmetical or logical operations and gives
meaningful result.

Operands – are values which are involved in the operation.

Operator

c= a + b

Operands

 Difference b/w Arithmetic Statement and Arithmetic Expression

Arithmetic Expression – contains variables, constants and arithmetical operators.

eg. a + b

Arithmetic Statement – is when an arithmetic expression is assigned to a variable.

eg. c = a + b

 Types of Operators

1. Arithmetical Operators – used to perform arithmetical calculations in a program.

eg. + - * / %

2. Relational Operators – used to compare the value of two operands and determine the
relationship between them. Its result will always be a boolean value (true or false).

eg. < > <= >= == !=

3. Logical Operators - used to compare two relational expressions. Result will be true or
false.

eg. && (AND), || (OR), ! (NOT)


 Java Expression –

These are arithmetical expression in which only java arithmetic operators are used.

Arithmetic expression Java expression

ab (1/3) * a * b

2( l+b) 2 * ( l+b)

a*a

 Types of Arithmetic Operators

1. Unary operator – deals with only one operand

eg. + - ++ --

+ ,-  determines whether the values are positive or negative

++  increases the value by one (increment operator)

eg. int a = 6;

a++; or ++a;

System.out.println (a);

Output  7

--  decreases the value by one (decrement operator)

eg. int a = 6;

a--; or --a;

System.out.println (a);

Output  5
 Difference between

Prefix Postfix

Change before action Change after action

++a a++

eg. P=5; eg. P=5;


p= ++p * 4 p= p++ * 4
p= 6 * 4 = 24 p= 5 * 4 = 20

Counter Accumulator

A numeric variable used to keep a A numeric value which gets updated


record of the number of times a with counter or input value
process is repeated.

s=0;
c=0;
s=s+a;
c++;
** where a is the input value

Unary Binary

Deals with one operand Deals with two operands

a++ a+b

= ==

Assignment operator Relational operator

a=5 if ( a == b )
/ %

Division operator Modulus Operator

Result will be quotient Result will be remainder

eg. 5 % 2 = 1
eg. 5 / 2 = 2
6%2=0
5.0 / 2 = 2.5
4%6=4

 Binary Operator – deals with two operands

eg. + - * / %

 Ternary Operator (Conditional Assignment)– deals with three operands

Syntax: Variable = (test condition) ? Expression1 : Expression2

eg. X = ( a < b ) ? 20 : 5

 Define :

1. Dot operator – facilitates invoking members of the class to carry out tasks.

eg. java.util.Scanner , System.out.print()

2. new operator – used for dynamic allocation of the object in memory space

eg. sum ob = new sum();

 Output Statement

System.out.print() – cursor remains in the same line.

eg. System.out.print(“Best ”);

System.out.print(“of Luck”);

Output  Best of Luck


System.out.println() – cursor is shifted to the next line

eg. System.out.println(“Best”);

System.out.print(“of Luck”);

Output  Best

of Luck
