The Groovy language supports the normal Arithmetic operators as any language. Following are the Arithmetic operators available in Groovy −
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| + | Addition of two operands | 1 + 2 will give 3 |
| − | Subtracts second operand from the first | 2 − 1 will give 1 |
| * | Multiplication of both operands | 2 * 2 will give 4 |
| / | Division of numerator by denominator | 3 / 2 will give 1.5 |
| % | Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer/float division | 3 % 2 will give 1 |
| ++ | Incremental operators used to increment the value of an operand by 1 | int x = 5;x++;x will give 6 |
| — | Incremental operators used to decrement the value of an operand by 1 | int x = 5;x–;x will give 4 |
The following code snippet shows how the various operators can be used.
class Example {
static void main(String[] args) {
// Initializing 3 variables
def x = 5;
def y = 10;
def z = 8;
//Performing addition of 2 operands
println(x+y);
//Subtracts second operand from the first
println(x-y);
//Multiplication of both operands
println(x*y);
//Division of numerator by denominator
println(z/x);
//Modulus Operator and remainder of after an integer/float division
println(z%x);
//Incremental operator
println(x++);
//Decrementing operator
println(x--);
}
}
When we run the above program, we will get the following result. It can be seen that the results are as expected from the description of the operators as shown above.
