MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS.
Java provides a rich set of
operators to use in manipulating variables. A value used on either side of
the operator is called an operand
Take an example
public class
mathoperators{
public
static void main (String[] arg) {
int
x = 6+5;
System.out.println(x);
//the output will
display 11
}
}
Java
Arithmetic Operators
+ addition
- substraction
* multiplication
/ division
% modulo
Arithmetic operations
are used in mathematical expressions in the same way that are used in algebraic
equations. I will explain about modulo only cause I find it kind of confusing.
The rest of the operators you can digest them on you own its grade three
mathematics.
MODULO (%)
Another name is called a remainder. Is a math operation
performs an integer division of one value by another and returns the remainder
of that division. It is denoted by the percentage symbol.
EXAMPLE
int value
= 23
int res
= value % 6;
// res is 5
Dividing 23 by 6 returns a quotient of 3 with a remainder of
5. Thus the value of 5 is assigned to the res
variable.
