Decrement & Increment Operator In Java

Java Decrement Operator ?

Decrement operators are used to decrement the value of the variable by one. The decrement operator -- subtracts 1 to its operand,

Syntax:

    -- // decrement operator

---

➦Both increment and decrement operator are used on single operand or variable, so it is called as unary operator.

➦ Unary operators are having higher priority than the other operators it means unary operators are execute before other operators

Java Increment and Decrement Operators

Example 1: Decrement Operator

Output :

Before x--: Value of x = 10
y = 20
After x--: Value of x = 9

Example 2: Pre Decrement Operator:

Output :

Before --x: Value of x = 10
y = 19
After --x: Value of x = 9

Java Increment Operator ?

Increment operators are used to increase the value of the variable by one. The increment operator ++ adds 1 to its operand,

Syntax:

    ++ // increment operator

Example 1: Increment Operator:

Output :

11

Example 2: Increment Operator:

Output :

Before x++: Value of x = 10
y = 20
After x++: Value of x = 11

Example 2: Pre Increment Operator:

Output :

Before ++x: Value of x = 10
y = 21
After ++x: Value of x = 11
