Title: Use the arithmetic operators.
Course: Java Programming (Oracle) (10055) > Section: Distinguishing Key Elements of Java

Use should include outlining the available operators in Java and their possible uses:

Operator | Use | Description
+ | op1 + op2 | Adds op1 and op2
- | op1 - op2 | Subtracts op2 from op1
* | op1 * op2 | Multiplies op1 by op2
/ | op1 / op2 | Divides op1 by op2
% | op1 % op2 | Computes the remainder of dividing op1 by op2

These short-cut operators increment or decrement a number by one:

Operator | Use | Description
++ | op++ | Increments op by 1; evaluates to the value of op before it was incremented
++ | ++op | Increments op by 1; evaluates to the value of op after it was incremented
-- | op-- | Decrements op by 1; evaluates to the value of op before it was decremented
-- | --op | Decrements op by 1; evaluates to the value of op after it was decremented

These are the Java programming language's other arithmetic operators:

Operator | Use | Description
+ | +op | Promotes op to int if it is a byte, short, or char
- | -op | Arithmetically negates op
