i want Java program for additin of two numbers with out using any Arithemetic operator.

We can't help you cheat by doing your homework for you.

Why do you want such a program; I mean it will be highly inefficient compared
to a simple '+' operator.

And the program doesn't even teach as much Java as you would want your students to learn from an assignment if you were a teacher.

True, teachers either like to freak with bits or they come up with assignments
using Swing components before the students can even design a couple of decent
classes. Or the ever boring CD inventory program of course ;-)

Don't forget Rational numbers.

I have a feeling that if I take a Java class here at college, I'll come across the same problem.

If you want to add rational (or real or even complex) numbers, you must still use the '+' operator or an alternative, which is capable of adding integers / doubles. Just have to write a bit more code.

There's a wonderful quote: "God created the positive integers. Everything else was created by man."

I like the following corollary: "zero, one, more". Where 'more' may include
integral numbers, rational numbers, real (IEE) numbers, complex numbers,
quaternions and even the number three.

Well, zeros and ones are certainly anything a computer (and a mathematician, who goes back to the basics) needs... ^^

Duh, you CS guys always overcomplicate things; us math type of folks only
need an idempotent element and a successor function.

And a few ridiculous axioms ...

Well, actually I'm also a math guy, but you will need neutral elements (0 and 1 ARE idempotent elements by the way, at least within the complex numbers and any subset of those) and, as r035198x pointed out, a few axioms. Just imagine, you couldn't expect "a + b = b + a"! (And yes, I do know, that you get such constructs, but they aren't much use in anything the OP might want to do, are they?)

Quick! Defenestrate this man! He's overcomplicatin g things again by
re-rejargoning simple things! Help! Help! I'm being oppressed! Help!

kind regards,

Jos ;-)

I'm not overcomplicatin g things, I'm just going back to the basics.

But hey, I managed to oppress JosAH? Wow, that makes me feel really good! ;-)

Feeling very much defenestrated,
