What type of operators are + and - when applied to a single operand in Java?

Unary operators
Binary operators
Ternary operators
Bitwise operators

The correct answer is: Unary operators

Unary operators are operators that perform an operation on a single operand. In Java, the plus (+) and minus (-) signs can be used as unary operators when applied to a single operand. This means that they operate on only one value. Binary operators, on the other hand, are operators that involve two operands, such as +, -, *, /, etc. Ternary operators, also known as conditional operators, involve three operands and are used for conditional expressions. Bitwise operators, such as &, |, or ^, perform operations on the binary representation of the operands. Therefore, these options are incorrect because they do not correctly describe the behavior of + and - when applied to a single operand in Java.
