Basic calculator in Java

I'm trying to create a basic calculator in Java. I'm quite new to programming so I'm trying to get used to it.

import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class javaCalculator 
{

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        int num1;
        int num2;
        String operation;


        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("please enter the first number");
        num1 = input.nextInt();

        System.out.println("please enter the second number");
        num2 = input.nextInt();

        Scanner op = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Please enter operation");
        operation = op.next();

        if (operation == "+");
        {
            System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 + num2));
        }
        if  (operation == "-");
        {
            System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 - num2));
        }

        if (operation == "/");
        {
            System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 / num2));
        }
        if (operation == "*")
        {
            System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 * num2));
        }


    }
}

This is my code. It prompts for the numbers and operation, but displays the answers all together ?

Java program example for making a simple Calculator:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Calculator
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
    float a, b, res;
    char select, ch;
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    do
    {
        System.out.print("(1) Addition\n");
        System.out.print("(2) Subtraction\n");
        System.out.print("(3) Multiplication\n");
        System.out.print("(4) Division\n");
        System.out.print("(5) Exit\n\n");
        System.out.print("Enter Your Choice : ");
        choice = scan.next().charAt(0);

        switch(select)
        {
            case '1' : System.out.print("Enter Two Number : ");
                a = scan.nextFloat();
                b = scan.nextFloat();
                res = a + b;
                System.out.print("Result = " + res);
                break;
            case '2' : System.out.print("Enter Two Number : ");
                a = scan.nextFloat();
                b = scan.nextFloat();
                res = a - b;
                System.out.print("Result = " + res);
                break;
            case '3' : System.out.print("Enter Two Number : ");
                a = scan.nextFloat();
                b = scan.nextFloat();
                res = a * b;
                System.out.print("Result = " + res);
                break;
            case '4' : System.out.print("Enter Two Number : ");
                a = scan.nextFloat();
                b = scan.nextFloat();
                res = a / b;
                System.out.print("Result = " + res);
                break;
            case '5' : System.exit(0);
                break;
            default : System.out.print("Wrong Choice!!!");
        }
    }while(choice != 5);       
}
}

we can simply use in.next().charAt(0); to assign + - * / operations as characters by initializing operation as a char.

import java.util.*; public class Calculator {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

char operation;
int num1;
int num2;

 System.out.println("Enter First Number");

num1 = in.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter Operation");

operation = in.next().charAt(0);

System.out.println("Enter Second Number");

num2 = in.nextInt();

if (operation == '+')//make sure single quotes
{
    System.out.println("your answer is " + (num1 + num2));
}
if (operation == '-')
{
    System.out.println("your answer is " + (num1 - num2));
}
if (operation == '/')
{
    System.out.println("your answer is " + (num1 / num2));
}
if (operation == '*')
{
    System.out.println("your answer is " + (num1 * num2));
}

}

Here is simple code for calculator so you can consider this
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Hello {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("Enter first and second number:");
        Scanner inp= new Scanner(System.in);
        int num1,num2;
        num1 = inp.nextInt();
        num2 = inp.nextInt();
        int ans;
        System.out.println("Enter your selection: 1 for Addition, 2 for substraction 3 for Multiplication and 4 for division:");
        int choose;
        choose = inp.nextInt();
        switch (choose){
        case 1:
            System.out.println(add( num1,num2));
            break;
        case 2:
            System.out.println(sub( num1,num2));
            break;      
        case 3:
            System.out.println(mult( num1,num2));
            break;
        case 4:
            System.out.println(div( num1,num2));
            break;
            default:
                System.out.println("Illigal Operation");


        }



    }
    public static int add(int x, int y)
    {
        int result = x + y;
        return result;
    }
    public static int sub(int x, int y)
    {
        int result = x-y;
        return result;
    }
    public static int mult(int x, int y)
    {
        int result = x*y;
        return result;
    }
    public static int div(int x, int y)
    {

Remove the semi-colons from your if statements, otherwise the code that follows will be free standing and will always execute:

if (operation == "+");
                     ^

Also use .equals for Strings, == compares Object references:

 if (operation.equals("+")) {

CompareStrings with equals(..) not with ==

if (operation.equals("+")
{
    System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 + num2));
}
if (operation.equals("-"))
{
    System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 - num2));
}
if (operation.equals("/"))
{
    System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 / num2));
}
if (operation .equals( "*"))
{
    System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 * num2));
}

And the ; after the conditions was an empty statement so the conditon had no effect at all.

If you use java 7 you can also replace the if statements with a switch.
In java <7 you can test, if operation has length 1 and than make a switch for the char [switch (operation.charAt(0))]

maybe its better using the case instead of if dunno if this eliminates the error, but its cleaner i think.. switch (operation){case +: System.out.println("your answer is" + (num1 + num2));break;case -: System.out.println("your answer is" - (num1 - num2));break; ...
