LESSON 17 OF 671 · CALCULATIONS WITH NUMBERS

Mathematical Expressions in Java

Lesson

  • We can perform multiple calculations using operators in the same line of code:

    System.out.println(3 - 4 + 6); // Prints 5
    System.out.println(5 + 2 - 3); // Prints 4
    System.out.println(2 * 5 + 1); // Prints 11
    System.out.println(4 / 2 * 5); // Prints 10
    

  • We can also use variables:

    int num1 = 5;
    int num2 = -1;
    
    System.out.println(2 * num1 * num2); // Prints -10
    System.out.println(num1 + num2 - 3); // Prints 1
    System.out.println(20 / num1 + num2); // Prints 3
    System.out.println(num1 / 5 * num2); // Prints -1
