Study Notes

Variables

A final variable is declared using the final keyword before the type and it cannot be reassigned once initialized.
A final variable can be declared and initialized at the same time, or it can be declared and initialized later.
A final variable that has been declared but not yet initialized is called a blank final.

Arithmetic Operators

The Java language supports various arithmetic operators for all floating-point and integer numbers.
The arithmetic operators include + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), and % (modulo).
The + and - operators have unary versions that perform promotion and arithmetic negation.
There are two short cut arithmetic operators, ++ which increments its operand by 1, and -- which decrements its operand by 1.
The ++ and -- operators have two forms: prefix (evaluates to value after incrementing/decrementing) and postfix (evaluates to value before incrementing/decrementing).

Relational and Conditional Operators

A relational operator compares two values and determines the relationship between them.
The relational operators include != (not equal to), > (greater than), >= (greater than or equal to), < (less than), and <= (less than or equal to).

Assignment Operators

The basic assignment operator is =, which assigns one value to another.
Java provides several short cut assignment operators that allow you to perform an arithmetic, logical, or bitwise operation and an assignment operation all with one operator.
The short cut assignment operators include +=, -=, *=, /=, and %=.

Expressions

An expression is a series of variables, operators, and method calls that evaluates to a single value.
The job of an expression is two-fold: perform the computation indicated by the elements of the expression and return some value that is the result of the computation.
