    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 String object, the other operand will be converted to a String before 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.
