With this example we are going to demonstrate how to use the arithmetic operators in Java. The arithmetic operators supported by the Java programming language are the Additive operator (also used for String concatenation), the Subtraction operator, the Multiplication operator, the Division operator, and the Remainder operator. In short, to use the arithmetic operators you should:
- Use the
Additiveoperator to add variables. - Use the
Subtractionoperator to subtract variables. - Use the
Multiplicationoperator to multiply variables. - Use the
Divisionoperator to divide variables.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.basics;
public class ArithmeticOperatorsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 30 + 20;
int j = i - 5;
int k = j * 2;
double l = k / 6;
System.out.println("i = " + i);
System.out.println("j = " + j);
System.out.println("k = " + k);
System.out.println("l = " + l);
}
}
Output:
i = 50
j = 45
k = 90
l = 15.0
This was an example of how to use the arithmetic operators in Java.
