Program 1 to demonstrate Arithmetic operators

/** JavaMadeSoEasy.com */ public class ArithmeticOperatorTest {    public static void main(String[] args) {           int x=4;           int y=2;           int result=x+y;           System.out.println("+   "+ result); //6           result=x-y;           System.out.println("-   "+ result); //2           result=x*y;           System.out.println("*   "+ result); //8           result=x/y;           System.out.println("/   "+ result); //2           result=x%y;           System.out.println("%   "+ result); //0              } } /*OUTPUT +   6 -   2 *   8 /   2 %   0 */
