➗ Operators in Java

In Java, operators are special symbols used to perform operations on variables and values. Java has a rich set of operators that can be categorized into several types.

🧮 Types of Operators in Java

  1. Arithmetic Operators

    • +, -, *, /, %
    • Used to perform mathematical operations.

  2. Relational Operators

    • ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
    • Used to compare two values.

  3. Logical Operators

    • &&, ||, !
    • Used to perform logical operations (AND, OR, NOT).

  4. Assignment Operators

    • =, +=, -=, *=, /=
    • Used to assign values to variables.

  5. Unary Operators

    • +, -, ++, --, !
    • Used to perform operations on a single operand.

  6. Bitwise Operators

    • &, |, ^, <<, >>
    • Used to perform bit-level operations.

  7. Ternary Operator

    • condition ? expression1 : expression2
    • A shorthand for if-else statement.

  8. Instanceof Operator

    • Used to check if an object is an instance of a specific class.

🧪 Example: Arithmetic and Relational Operators

public class OperatorsExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int a = 10, b = 5;
        System.out.println("Addition: " + (a + b));    // 15
        System.out.println("Subtraction: " + (a - b)); // 5
        System.out.println("Is a > b? " + (a > b));    // true
    }
}

⚙️ Operator Precedence

Operator precedence determines the order in which operators are evaluated. For example, multiplication and division have higher precedence than addition and subtraction.
