Java Operators

As in JavaScript, operators are an important part of programming in Java. Here's an example of adding two values using the Java + operator:

Listing ch10_06.java

 public class ch10_06 {     public static void main(String[] args)     {         int int1 = 130, int2 = 250, sum;  sum = int1 + int2;  System.out.println(int1 + " + " + int2 +             " = " + sum);     } } 

Here are the results of this code:

 %java ch10_06  130 + 250 = 380 

So what operators are available in Java? Table 10-1 contains all of them. Note that nearly all of them are shared by JavaScript as well.
