1) Relational Operators

❑ Relational operators always result in a boolean value true or false.

❑ There are six relational operators: >, >=, <, <=, ==, and !=. ❑ When comparing
characters, Java uses the Unicode value of the character as the numerical value.

❑ When comparing reference variables, == returns true only if both references


refer to the same object.

2) instanceof Operator

❑ instanceof is for reference variables only, and checks for whether the object is
of a particular type.

❑ For interfaces, an object passes the instanceof test if any of its superclasses
implement the interface on the right side of the instanceof operator.

3) Arithmetic Operators

❑ There are four primary math operators: add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

❑ The remainder operator (%), returns the remainder of a division.

❑ The *, /, and % operators have higher precedence than + and -.

4)String Concatenation Operator

❑ If either operand is a String, the + operator concatenates the operands.

❑ If both operands are numeric, the + operator adds the operands.

5) Increment/Decrement Operators

❑ Prefix operators (++ and --) run before the value is used in the expression.

❑ Postfix operators (++ and --) run after the value is used in the expression.

❑ In any expression, both operands are fully evaluated before the operator is
applied.

❑ Variables marked final cannot be incremented or decremented.

6) Ternary Conditional Operator

❑ Returns one of two values based on whether a boolean expression is true or


false.

❑ Returns the value after the ? if the expression is true.

❑ Returns the value after the : if the expression is false.

7) Logical Operators

❑ The && and & operators return true only if both operands are true.

❑ The || and | operators return true if either or both operands are true.
❑ The && and || operators are known as short-circuit operators.

❑ The && operator does not evaluate the right operand if the left operand is
false.

❑ The || does not evaluate the right operand if the left operand is true.

❑ The & and | operators always evaluate both operands.

❑ The ^ operator (called the logical XOR), returns true if exactly one operand is
true.
