    Study Notes

    Formatting Output

    • System.out.printf() method is used to format output.
    • %+8d is used to display a whole number, right-justified, in an 8-space area, with a + character and commas to group 3 digits.
    • %10.3f is used to display a floating-point number, right-justified, in a 10-space area, with a decimal point and 3 digits after the decimal point.
    • - character is used for left-justification.

    Operator and Operand

    • principal * rate is an expression that uses the multiplication operator.
    • Floating-point literals can be expressed in standard notation (e.g., 0.005) or scientific notation (e.g., 5e-3).
    • To use a smaller precision (32-bit) float, append the "f" or "F" character.

    Boolean Literals

    • A Boolean literal is either true or false.
    • Example: while (true) { ... }

    Character Literals

    • Unicode characters are used by Java.
    • A Unicode character is a member of a 16-bit character set.
    • Character literals represent single Unicode characters, enclosed in single quote delimiters.
    • Escape sequences are used for special characters (e.g., \n for newline, \t for tab space).

    String Literals

    • String literals represent a sequence of characters, enclosed in double quotes.
    • Example: rate = Double.parseDouble(scanner.nextLine());

    Using the Scanner Class

    • nextInt(), nextDouble(), and other methods automatically perform parsing.
    • An Exception is thrown if a string cannot be converted into a number.
    • Integer.parseInt() and Double.parseDouble() methods are used to parse strings to numbers.

    Formatting Output using Placeholders

    • %d is used for an integral number, %f for a floating-point number, %s for a string, %c for a character, %n for the newline character, and %t for the tab space.
    • The + character in the format string specifies that the number should be displayed with a + sign.

    Tips and Guidelines

    • Use Integer.parseInt(scan.nextLine()) instead of scan.nextInt() to ensure that a string input is accepted.
    • Keep expressions simple and use parentheses whenever possible to ensure readability.
