We have already met a lot of operators. Let's first check the arithmetic operators.
+
(plus sign)-
(minus)*
(asterisk)/
(slash)%
(percent)=
(equal)
I'm beginning with the last one: =
. It is the
assignment operator. We have already used it a lot to define a variable, which just means to assign a value to it. For instance:
int oscillatorFrequency = 440;
For the other operators, I'm going to distinguish two different cases in the following: character types, which include char
and String
, and numerical types. Operators can change their effect a bit according to the types of variables.
