Arithmetic operators perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus. They are used in expressions to compute values and manipulate numerical data.

Arithmetic Operators

Below is a table summarizing the arithmetic operators available in Java:

Example 1: Basic Arithmetic Operations

Below is a simple example that demonstrates basic arithmetic operations.

Explanation:

• The code performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus operations, then prints the results.

Example 2: Using Arithmetic Operators in Expressions

Below is an example that uses arithmetic operators in a combined expression to calculate a result.

Explanation:

• Declaration: Three integer variables x, y, and z are defined with values 20, 3, and 5.
• Complex Expression:
  • In the expression x + y * z - x / y, arithmetic operators are combined.
  • According to operator precedence, multiplication and division are evaluated before addition and subtraction.
  • The calculated result is stored in result and printed.
• Modulus in Expression:
  • The second expression (x + y) % z first adds x and y due to the parentheses, then applies the modulus operator % with z.
  • The result of this expression is stored in modResult and printed.

These examples demonstrate how arithmetic operators work in Java to perform calculations and combine numerical values within expressions.
