Java arithmetic operators
Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions in the same way that they are used in algebra. The following table lists the arithmetic operators −
Assume integer variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then

Operator
| Description
| Example
|
|---|
+ (Addition)
| Adds values on either side of the operator.
| A + B will give 30
|
- (Subtraction)
| Subtracts right-hand operand from left-hand operand.
| A - B will give -10
|
* (Multiplication)
| Multiplies values on either side of the operator.
| A * B will give 200
|
/ (Division)
| Divides left-hand operand by right-hand operand.
| B / A will give 2
|
% (Modulus)
| Divides left-hand operand by right-hand operand and returns the remainder.
| B % A will give 0
|
++ (Increment)
| Increases the value of operand by 1.
| B++ gives 21
|
-- (Decrement) | Decreases the value of operand by 1.
