Arithmetic Operators in Java

The Java programming language supports various arithmetic operators for all floating-point and integer numbers. These operators are + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), and % (modulo).

  • Addition(+): This operator is a binary operator and is used to add two operands.
  • Subtraction(-): This operator is a binary operator and is used to subtract two operands.
  • Multiplication(*): This operator is a binary operator and is used to multiply two operands.
  • Division(/): This is a binary operator that is used to divide the first operand(dividend) by the second operand(divisor) and give the quotient as result.
  • Modulus(%): This is a binary operator that is used to return the remainder when the first operand(dividend) is divided by the second operand(divisor).

// Arithmetic Operators in Java

public class App {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int a = 123, b = 10;

        System.out.println("Addition        : " + (a + b));
        System.out.println("Subtraction     : " + (a - b));
        System.out.println("Multiplication  : " + (a * b));
        System.out.println("Division        : " + (a / b));
        System.out.println("Modulus         : " + (a % b));
    }
