Operators in Java - Beginner Friendly Notes

1. What are Operators in Java?

Operators are symbols used to perform operations on variables and values.

In Java, operators help you do actions like addition, comparison, assigning values, and more.

2. Arithmetic Operators

Used to do basic math operations:

+ : Addition

- : Subtraction

* : Multiplication

/ : Division

% : Remainder (Modulus)

Example:

int a = 10, b = 5;

a + b = 15

a-b=5

a * b = 50

a/b=2

a%b=0

3. Relational (Comparison) Operators

Used to compare two values. They return true or false.

== : Equal to

!= : Not equal to

> : Greater than

< : Less than

>= : Greater than or equal to

<= : Less than or equal to

Example:

int a = 10, b = 5;

a > b -> true

a == b -> false

4. Logical Operators

Used to combine multiple conditions.

&& : AND (true if both conditions are true)

|| : OR (true if at least one is true)

! : NOT (reverses the condition)

Example:

int age = 20;

boolean hasID = true;

if (age >= 18 && hasID) {

System.out.println("You can enter.");

5. Assignment Operators

Used to assign or update values in variables.

= : Assign

+= : Add and assign

-= : Subtract and assign

*= : Multiply and assign

/= : Divide and assign

Example:

int score = 50;

score += 10; // score becomes 60

6. Increment and Decrement Operators

Used to increase or decrease value by 1.

++ : Increment

-- : Decrement

Example:

int count = 0;

count++; // becomes 1

count--; // back to 0

7. Summary

Operators in Java help in:

- Doing Math: +, -, *, /, %

- Comparing: >, <, ==, !=

- Combining conditions: &&, ||, !

- Assigning values: =, +=, -=

- Increasing/Decreasing: ++, --
