Most operators are binary operators; that is, they have
two operands. In Java, those two operands are found on the
immediate left and immediate right of the operator. Some
operators, such as the
negation operator, -, and
unary plus operator, +, have just one operand, found on the immediate right
of the operator. Such operators are unary operators.
You can always determine whether the - and + denote unary or
binary operators by looking to see whether there is any literal, variable,
or subexpression, to the immediate left. If there is, then - denotes
subtraction and + denotes addition; otherwise, - denotes
negation and + is handled as though it were not there at all.
