What is operand of arithmetic operators in Java

Operators are like + , - whereas operands are values on which operates.

The following program is a simple example which demonstrates the arithmetic operators. Copy and paste the following Java program in Test.java file, and compile and run this program −

Example

Live Demo

public class Test {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      int a = 10; int b = 20; int c = 25; int d = 25; 
      System.out.println("a + b = " + (a + b) ); 
      System.out.println("a - b = " + (a - b) );
      System.out.println("a * b = " + (a * b) ); 
      System.out.println("b / a = " + (b / a) ); 
      System.out.println("b % a = " + (b % a) );
      System.out.println("c % a = " + (c % a) ); 
      System.out.println("a++ = " + (a++) ); 
      System.out.println("b-- = " + (a--) ); 

      // Check the difference in d++ and ++d 
      System.out.println("d++ = " + (d++) ); 
      System.out.println("++d = " + (++d) ); 
   } 
}

This will produce the following result −

Output

a + b = 30
a - b = -10 
a * b = 200 
b / a = 2
b % a = 0
c % a = 5
a++ = 10 
b-- = 11 
d++ = 25
++d = 27
