Java Operators

We have five types of operators:

·        Arithmetic Operators

·        Assignment Operators

·        Logical Operators

·        Relational Operators

·        Bitwise Operators

Arithmetic Operators:

These operators are used for any type of mathematical operation or calculations like traditional mathematics. Below is list of them. 

S No	Operators	Description	Example
1	+	Addition	int a=10; int b = 20; int sum = a+b; This will give you 30.
2	-	Subtraction	int a=10; int b = 20; int sum = a-b; This will give you -20.
3	*	Multiplication	int a=10; int b = 20; int sum = a*b; This will give you 200.
4	/	Division	int a=10; int b = 20; int sum = a/b; This will give you 0.5.
5	%	Modulus	int a=20; int b = 35; int sum = a%b; This will give you 15.
6	++	Increment	int a=10; int increment = a++; This will give you 11.
7	--	Decrement	int a=10; int increment = a--; This will give you 9.

The Assignment Operators:

Always keep in mind that these types of operators always use with = equals to sign. Below is the list.

S NO	Operators	Description	Example
1	=	Simple assignment operator, Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand.	C = A + B will assign value of  A + B into C
2	+=	Add AND assignment operator, It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand.	C += A is equivalent to  C = C + A
3	-=	Subtract AND assignment operator, It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand.	C -= A is equivalent to  C = C - A
4	*=	Multiply AND assignment operator, It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand.	C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A
5	/=	Divide AND assignment operator, It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand.	C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A
6	%=	Modulus AND assignment operator, It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand.	C %= A is equivalent to C = C % A
7	<<=	Left shift AND assignment operator.	C <<= 2 is same as C = C << 2
8	>>=	Right shift AND assignment operator.	C >>= 2 is same as C = C >> 2
9	&=	Bitwise AND assignment operator.	C &= 2 is same as C = C & 2
10	^=	Bitwise exclusive OR and assignment operator.	C ^= 2 is same as C = C ^ 2
11	|=	Bitwise inclusive OR and assignment operator.	C |= 2 is same as C = C | 2

The Logical Operators:

The following table lists the logical operators:

Assume Boolean variables A holds true and variable B holds false.

S No.	Operators	Description	Example
1	&& (logical and)	Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.	(A && B) is false.
2	|| (logical or)	Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.	(A || B) is true.
3	! (logical not)	Called Logical NOT Operator. Use to reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true then Logical NOT operator will make false.	!(A && B) is true.

The Relational Operators:

There are following relational operators supported by Java language

Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20:

S NO	Operators	Description	Example
1	== (equal to)	Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not, if yes then condition becomes true.	(A == B) is not true.
2	!= (not equal to)	Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not, if values are not equal then condition becomes true.	(A != B) is true.
3	> (greater than)	Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true.	(A > B) is not true.
4	< (less than)	Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true.	(A < B) is true.
5	>= (greater than or equal to)	Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true.	(A >= B) is not true.
6	<= (less than or equal to)	Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true.	(A <= B) is true.

The Bitwise Operators:

Java defines several bitwise operators, which can be applied to the integer types, long, int, short, char, and byte.

Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit-by-bit operation. Assume if a = 63; and b = 13.

S No	Operators	Description	Example
1	& (bitwise and)	Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands.	(A & B) will give 12 which is 0000 1100
2	| (bitwise or)	Binary OR Operator copies a bit if it exists in either operand.	(A | B) will give 61 which is 0011 1101
3	^ (bitwise XOR)	Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both.	(A ^ B) will give 49 which is 0011 0001
4	~ (bitwise compliment)	Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the effect of 'flipping' bits.	(~A ) will give -61 which is 1100 0011 in 2's complement form due to a signed binary number.
5	<< (left shift)	Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand	A << 2 will give 240 which is 1111 0000
6	>> (right shift)	Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand.	A >> 2 will give 15 which is 1111
7	>>> (zero fill right shift)	Shift right zero fill operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand and shifted values are filled up with zeros.	A >>>2 will give 15 which is 0000 1111

How to read a file from directory?

import java.io.BufferedReader;

import java.io.FileReader;

import java.io.IOException;

public class FileReaderClass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

//Create BufferedReader Class

BufferedReader bufferReader = null;

try {

//Declare varibale for line number 

String lineNumber;

//Opening the file

bufferReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\\file_to_read.txt"));

//Print all rows of file till last row

while ((lineNumber = bufferReader.readLine()) != null) {

System.out.println(lineNumber);

}

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} finally {

try {

//Closing bufferReader object

if (bufferReader != null)

{

bufferReader.close();

}

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

}

Static Method Vs Instance Method

                                                         http://www.try2catch.in

Static Method: These methods are not belongs to class rather than object or instance and always call by the reference of class name. Class/Static method never calls instance methods and variables.

class TryCatch {

// Class/Static method implementation
public static int doSum(int a, int b) {

int sum = a + b;

return sum;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Calling class/static method in same class.
doSum(2, 5);
}

}




public class TryCatchMain {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Calling class/static method in other class.
TryCatch.doSum(2, 5);

}
}

Instance Method: These methods are part of instance or object and always calls by using refrence of same class. Instance methods can call a class/static method or valriable.


class TryCatch {

int i = 0;

//Class/Static method implementation
public static int doSum(int a, int b) {

int sum = a + b;

return sum;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

//Calling class/static method in same class.
doSum(2, 5);
}

//Instance method implementation
public int doSum(int a, int b, int c) {

//Calling class/static method in instance method.
doSum(2, 5);

int sum = a + b;

return sum;

}
}
