I can already get the integers but I am having trouble with the
operators since I don’t know what category they fall in
They belongs to none of these. They are part of programming language and not data type. Data types and operators work along to perform some action like
int a, b;
int c = a + b;
Even you can have that operator as a String
but after user input you have to perform check to decide about the operation.
if("+".equals(userInput) {// "+" is String
int c = a + b;
}
As mentioned by TheLostMind
in comment, for checking the user input you should use switch
case.
