Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn about Java arithmetic expressions. A Java expression is a combination of operands, operators, constants, and function calls that reduces to a value.

Types of Arithmetic Expressions

Integer Expressions
Floating point expressions
Mixed mode expressions

Integer expressions

When all the operands in the expression are of integer types such an expression is called an integer expression.

For example:

int x = 10;

int y = 12;

int result;

result = x + y;

Floating-point expressions

When all the operands in the expression are of a real type such as float/double types such an expression is called a floating-point expression.

For example:

float x = 10.5;

float y = 12.63;

float result;

result = x + y;

Mixed mode expressions

When some operands in the expression are integer and others of a real type such as float/double types such an expression is called a mixed mode expression.

For example:

float x = 12.55;

int y = 10;

float result;

result = x + y;
