Groovy - Arithmetic Operators

Quiz

The Groovy language supports the normal Arithmetic operators as any the 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

Example - Use of arithmetic operators

In this example, we're creating two variables x and y and using arithmatic operators. We've performed addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations and printed the results.

Example.groovy

class Example { 
   static void main(String[] args) { 
      // Initializing 3 variables 
      def x = 5; 
      def y = 10; 
		
      //Performing addition of 2 operands 
      println(x&plus;y); 
		
      //Subtracts second operand from the first 
      println(x-y); 
		
      //Multiplication of both operands 
      println(x*y);
		
      //Division of numerator by denominator 
      println(y/x); 
   } 
}

Output

When we run the above program, we will get the following result.

Example - Use of modulus operators

In this example, we're creating three variables x,y and z and using arithmatic operator %. We've performed Modulus operations between their values.

Example.groovy

class Example { 
   static void main(String[] args) { 
      // Initializing 3 variables 
      def x = 10; 
      def y = 20;
      def z = 25;	  
		
      // Performing modulus of operands
      println(y % x); 
		
      // Performing modulus of another operands
      println(z % x);
   } 
}

Output

When we run the above program, we will get the following result.

0
5

Example - Use of pre and post operators

In this example, we're creating two variables x and y and using arithmatic operators. We've performed post increment, pre increment, post decrement and post increment operations and printed the results.

Example.groovy

class Example { 
   static void main(String[] args) { 
      // Initializing 3 variables 
      def x = 10; 
      def y = 25;
		
      // Performing post increment
      println( x++ ); 
		
      // Performing post decrement
      println( x-- ); 
		
      // Check the difference in y++ and ++y
      println(y++);
      println(++y); 
   } 
}

Output

When we run the above program, we will get the following result.
