3. Math operations in Java

Java:

package lesson3;

public class MathOperators {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) //method
	{ 
		int x, y, answer;
		x = 20;
		y = 30;
		answer = x % y;
		// + - * / %(modulus)
		System.out.println("Answer is " + answer);
		
		x++; //increment
		y--; //decrement
		System.out.println("X is " + x + " and Y is " + y);
		
		System.out.println(y++); // post-increment operation
		System.out.println(y);
		
		System.out.println(++y); // pre-increment operation
		System.out.println(y);
	}
}

As we can see that if we want to insert variable into a sentence which will be printed out, “+” is available for this purpose in Java. However, there is a different format in C (show below).

printf("X is %d and Y is %d", x, y);

And in this lesson, I finally understand the difference between “++x” and “x++”, it is basically about when the 1 will be added.
Example:
x = 0 then print “++x” and then “x”, the result will be 1 and 1;
x = 0 then print “x++” and then “x”, the result will be 0 and 1;
Although I figured out this problem which used to confuse me a lot when I was studying C, I still do not know where to use it.
