Study Notes

Variable Declaration

Correct way to declare an int variable: int x = 10;
Capitalization matters in Java; use lower case for data types.

Java Identifiers

Identifiers can be of any length; no special starting characters allowed.
They can include underscores.

Code Output and Errors

Java is case-sensitive, leading to potential errors; e.g., using X and x inconsistently results in an error.
For print statements, correct syntax: System.out.println("Hello, Java!");

Comparison Operators

Use == to compare two values: if (x == y);
Avoid using assignment operator = for comparison.

Modulo Operator

To check if n is divisible by 3: if (n % 3 == 0);

Data Types and Initialization

To correctly declare and initialize a double, use double amount = 20;
Ensure correct casing in variable names to avoid errors.

Logical Expressions

The expression (5 > 3 || 7 < 6) evaluates to true since at least one condition is true.

Type Casting and Numerical Operations

Use parentheses to control operation precedence; casting is needed to avoid integer division loss.
Errors can arise from improper casing of variables like using B instead of b.

Conditional Statements

Correct syntax for if-else: if (x > 3) { ... } else { ... }
Ensure to use parentheses in conditions and avoid misplaced colons or semicolons.

Switch Statements

Switch statements can evaluate non-numeric expressions as well.
While break statements are commonly used to prevent fall-through, they are not strictly required.

Input Handling

Read integer input from the keyboard correctly with input.nextInt();

Logical Operators

The expression !(3 > 5 && 2 == 2) results in true because the inner condition (3 > 5) is false.
