Operators

[Sathi Chowdhury]

Can any body confirm me pls if I am right.
I tested through code
1) shift operators can be applied to char type operand
2) the unary +,- can not be applied to char type operand
3) ~ (bitwise inversion)can be applied to char type operand

1) shift operators can be applied to char type operand
char is promoted to int.
2) the unary +,- can not be applied to char type operand
char is unsigned.
3) ~ (bitwise inversion)can be applied to char type operand
char is promoted to int.

char a='s';
char b='o';
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(a | b);
System.out.println(a ^ b);
prints out s,o,127,28

means u can even perform logical operations on char as well.

thank u Mansoor and Ego.I was just filling up a chart for what operators can be applied to what type operands...
thanks for the help..

they are not performed on char...
in the prnt line it is converted to int.
try this
char a = 'a';
char b = 'b';
char c = a& b;//error

[ego hu]

You nust cast it:
char c=(char) a&b;

[Sathi Chowdhury]

because result type of all binary operation should be at least int type.
int a;
char c='a';
char d='b';
a=c&d;// works fine
