Study Notes
Data Types in Java
- Data types in Java are classified into two categories: primitive and abstract (derived).
- Primitive data types are built-in to the Java language and are not objects.
- Java defines eight primitive data types.
Primitive Data Types
- byte: Represents small integers from -128 to 127.
- short: Represents integers from -32768 to 32767.
- int: Represents larger integers and is the default integer type.
- long: Represents very large integers.
Integer Types
- Java's integer types are signed, allowing for both positive and negative values.
- byte is the smallest integer type. Values are promoted to int automatically when used in expressions.
- short is an integer type with a range from –32,768 to 32,767.
- int is the most commonly used integer type.
- long is used for very large integers, indicated by appending "L" to the value.
Floating Point Types
- Floating point types, also known as "real numbers," are used for calculations requiring fractional accuracy.
- float: Single-precision floating-point type, suitable for calculations with less precision.
- double: Double-precision floating-point type, providing more precision for calculations.
Operators
- Operators are symbols used to perform computations, comparisons, and test conditions.
- Java supports various categories of operators, including arithmetic, assignment, and unary operators.
Arithmetic Operators
- Arithmetic operators are used for mathematical operations.
- Operators include:
+(addition)-(subtraction)*(multiplication)/(division)%(modulus - calculates remainder)
The + Operator Usage
- When used with numeric data types, the
+operator adds operands and results in a primitive numeric data type. - If one operand is a
Stringobject, the other operand will be converted to aStringbefore joining them.
Assignment Operators
- Assignment operators assign values to variables.
- Operators include:
=(assignment)+=(add and assignment)-=(subtract and assignment)*=(multiply and assignment)/=(divide and assignment)%=(modulus and assignment)
Unary Operators
- Unary operators require only one operand.
- They perform specific operations on that single operand.
