What are the different types of operators in Java?

In Java, operators are special symbols that perform operations on variables and values. The main types include arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment, and unary operators.

Can you give me examples of each type?

Sure!

1. Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %
2. Relational Operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
3. Logical Operators: &&, ||, !
4. Bitwise Operators: &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>
5. Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=
6. Unary Operators: +, -, ++, --.

What is the difference between == and equals()?

The == operator checks for reference equality, meaning it checks if both references point to the same object. The equals() method checks for value equality, meaning it checks if the values of the objects are the same.

Are there any special operators in Java?

Yes, Java also has special operators like the ternary operator ? :, which is a shorthand for an if-else statement, and the instanceof operator, which checks if an object is an instance of a specific class.
