🔢 Types of Operators in Java

Java provides a rich set of operators to perform various operations. These are grouped into several categories:

---

1️⃣ Arithmetic Operators

Used for basic mathematical operations.

Operator	Description	Example
+	Addition	a + b
-	Subtraction	a - b
*	Multiplication	a * b
/	Division	a / b
%	Modulus (remainder)	a % b

---

2️⃣ Relational (Comparison) Operators

Used to compare two values.

Operator	Description	Example
==	Equal to	a == b
!=	Not equal to	a != b
>	Greater than	a > b
<	Less than	a < b
>=	Greater than or equal	a >= b
<=	Less than or equal	a <= b

---

3️⃣ Logical Operators

Used to combine multiple conditions.

Operator	Description	Example
&&	Logical AND	a > 0 && b > 0
`		`
!	Logical NOT	!(a > 0)

---

4️⃣ Assignment Operators

Used to assign values to variables.

Operator	Description	Example
=	Assign	a = b
+=	Add and assign	a += b
-=	Subtract and assign	a -= b
*=	Multiply and assign	a *= b
/=	Divide and assign	a /= b
%=	Modulus and assign	a %= b

---

5️⃣ Unary Operators

Operate on a single operand.

Operator	Description	Example
+	Unary plus	+a
-	Unary minus	-a
++	Increment	a++ or ++a
--	Decrement	a-- or --a
!	Logical NOT	!a

---

6️⃣ Bitwise Operators

Operate on bits and perform bit-level operations.

Operator	Description	Example
&	Bitwise AND	a & b
`	`	Bitwise OR
^	Bitwise XOR	a ^ b
~	Bitwise Complement	~a
<<	Left shift	a << 2
>>	Right shift	a >> 2
>>>	Unsigned right shift	a >>> 2

---

7️⃣ Ternary Operator

A shorthand for if-else.

Operator	Description	Example
?:	Ternary (conditional)	a > b ? a : b

---

8️⃣ instanceof Operator

Checks if an object is an instance of a specific class.

Operator	Description	Example
instanceof	Type comparison	obj instanceof Car
