There are two types of division in Java—integer division and floating-point division. Both types use the forward slash (/) symbol as the operator, following the format dividend / divisor . [1] X Research source Read on to learn how to divide two integers (non-decimal whole numbers) to receive an integer quotient, and how to use floating point division to get a decimal result.

QuestionIf 'a' variable is divisible by 2 then print 'a' is even otherwise print odd.JessieCommunity AnswerComplexified: if (a%2 == 0) { System.out.println("even"); } else { System.out.println("odd"); Ternary Operator: System.out.println((a%2 == 0) ? "even" : "odd"); Explanation: "%" is "Modulus", which returns the remainder after dividing the two numbers. Only even numbers can be divided by two without remainder (0). Ternary: You can put ternary operators (([condition]) ? [statement if true] : [statement if false]) in a println() function but you can't put println() functions in ternary operators
