Operators in Java and Go Lang. Every programming languages support operators. Operators are work like a function with different syntax compared to normal function. For example arithmetic operator +.
List of Operators in Java & Go Lang
The Following table has a list of operators available in the language.
| Sr | Operator | Description | Go | Java |
| 1 | + | addition | Yes | Yes |
| 2 | – | subtraction | Yes | Yes |
| 3 | * | multiplication | Yes | Yes |
| 4 | / | quotient | Yes | Yes |
| 5 | % | remainder | Yes | Yes |
| 6 | & | bitwise and | Yes | Yes |
| 7 | | | bitwise or | Yes | Yes |
| 8 | ^ | bitwise xor | Yes | Yes |
| 9 | ~ | bitwise compliment | Yes | |
| 10 | &^ | bit clear (and not) | Yes | |
| 11 | << | left shift | Yes | Yes |
| 12 | >> | right shift | Yes | Yes |
| 13 | >>> | zero fill right shift | Yes | |
| 14 | ++ | Increment | Yes | |
| 15 | — | Decrement | Yes | |
| 16 | = | equal | Yes | Yes |
| 17 | == | equal to | Yes | |
| 18 | != | not equal | Yes | Yes |
| 19 | < | less than | Yes | Yes |
| 20 | <= | less than or equal | Yes | Yes |
| 21 | > | greater than | Yes | Yes |
| 22 | >= | greater than or equal | Yes | Yes |
| 23 | && | logical and | Yes | Yes |
| 24 | || | logical or | Yes | Yes |
| 25 | ! | logical not | Yes | Yes |
| 26 | & | address of / create pointer | Yes | |
| 27 | * | dereference pointer | Yes | |
| 28 | <- | send / receive operator (see ‘Channels’ below) | Yes | |
| 29 | += | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 30 | -= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 31 | *= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 32 | /= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 33 | %= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 34 | <<= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 35 | >>= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 36 | &= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 37 | ^= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 38 | |= | assignment Operators | Yes | |
| 39 | ?: | conditional operator | Yes |
Go language doesn’t have assignment operator (+=) but Go lang has & operator which works as bitwise operator and address of the pointer. Go lang has bit clear &^ operator while Java has bit shift operators.
