Study Notes

Data Types, Operators & Expressions

  • Java has primitive and non-primitive data types
  • Primitive types include: byte, short, int, long, char, float, double, and boolean
  • Non-primitive types are created by the programmer, except for String
  • Primitive types: byte, short, int, long are for whole-valued signed numbers
  • Primitive type: float and double represent numbers with fractional precision
  • Primitive type: char represents symbols in a character set
  • Primitive type: boolean represents true/false values
  • Variables are containers that hold values during program execution
  • Variables are assigned with a data type
  • There are three types of variables in Java: local, instance, static
  • Local variables exist inside a method
  • Instance variables are declared inside a class but outside any method
  • Static variables are declared with the static modifier
  • Variables use a data type and a name; data type tells Java the size to allocate; variables have scope
  • Input and output in Java use System.in and System.out
  • print() displays text on the console
  • println() displays text and moves the cursor to the next line
  • printf() displays text with formatted output
  • Arrays are used to store multiple values of the same data type
  • Arrays are declared using dataType[] arrayName; or dataType arrayName[];
  • Arrays are dynamically allocated, using new followed by the size: arrayName = new type[size]
  • Arrays can be multi-dimensional, using additional brackets: dataType[][] arrayName;
  • Java arrays are objects and can use getClass().getName() to retrieve the class name

Operators

  • Operators perform specific operations on operands, returning a result
  • Types include:
    • Arithmetic (+, -, *, /, %)
    • Unary (+, -, ++, --, !)
    • Assignment (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, &=, |=, ^=, >>=, <<=, >>>=)
    • Relational (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=)
    • Logical (&&, | |, !)
    • Ternary (?)
    • Bitwise (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>, >>>)

Expressions, Statements, and Blocks

  • Expressions combine variables, operators, literals, and method calls
  • Statements are complete units of execution
  • Blocks are groups of statements enclosed in curly braces ({})
