In this article we will see the use of Subtraction operator in Java.

Java Program on Subtraction Operator

Addition operator is a binary operator and it is used to subtract two numbers. Subtraction operator is represented by the - symbol.

Syntax: operand - operand

Example:

Let’s understand it more clearly.

Suppose we have 2 variables a and b.

a=22

b=13

Then we can use subtraction operator like this.

result=a-b;  // here 2 variable operand subtracted

(or)

result = 15 – b; // here one constant operand i.e. 15 and variable operand i.e. ‘b‘ subtracted

Program:

import java.io.*;
 
class Main 
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        //Declaring variables
        int number1 = 100;
        int number2 = 20;
        //subtracting two numbers by using subtraction operator
        int result = number1-number2;
        
        //print results
        System.out.println("By performing subtraction operation: " + result);
    }
}
Output:

By performing subtraction operation: 80
