Multiple Operators
So far, we've only used one operator at a time in our expressions. But there might be cases where we need to use multiple operators in a single line.
Let’s look at an example -
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 6 / 2 + 4 * 8 - 2;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
Output
33
Explanation -
Step1 - First, the division (6 / 2) is calculated, resulting in 3.
Step2 - Then, the multiplication (4 * 8) is done, resulting in 32.
Step3 - Next, the addition (3 + 32) is performed, resulting in 35.
Step4 - Finally, the subtraction (35 - 2) gives us 33.
In order to make code more readable, it’s good practice to use parenthesis () when dealing with multiple operators in a single line.
The above can be written as -
int x = (6 / 2) + (4 * 8) - 2;
