Java operators are the backbone of programming in Java, enabling arithmetic calculations, logical reasoning, and value comparisons. This overview covers the syntax and functionality of various operators, including arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, and assignment operators. It also delves into the nuances of the ternary operator, bitwise manipulations, and the importance of operator precedence in ensuring accurate program execution.
