Study Notes
Variable and Its Type
- Variables are named storage locations that hold values of specific data types, enabling data manipulation within a program.
- Local Variables:
- Declared within methods, constructors, or code blocks.
- Accessible only within the scope they are declared and must be initialized before use.
- Lifespan is limited to the block of code.
- Instance Variables (Non-Static Variables):
- Declared within a class but outside methods, constructors, or blocks.
- Each class instance has its own copy; initialized with default values if not explicitly assigned.
- Accessible throughout the class using the object of that class.
- Class Variables (Static Variables):
- Declared with the static keyword; shared among all instances of the class.
- Only one copy exists across all instances, initialized with default values if not given.
Type Casting and Conversion
- Type casting is the conversion of a value from one data type to another in Java.
- Implicit Casting (Widening):
- Automatic conversion between compatible data types, typically from a smaller to larger type.
- Example: Converting an integer to a double (int to double).
- Explicit Casting (Narrowing):
- Manual conversion from a higher data type to a lower data type, not done automatically by Java.
- Requires explicit instructions from the programmer.
Auto Boxing and Unboxing
- Auto Boxing:
- Automatic conversion of primitive data types to their corresponding wrapper classes (e.g., int to Integer).
- Simplifies assigning primitive values to wrapper class objects.
- Unboxing:
- Automatic conversion of wrapper types back to their corresponding primitive types, the reverse of auto boxing.
Control Flow Statements
- If Statement:
- Executes specific code blocks based on boolean conditions with optional else clauses.
- Syntax allows chaining conditions with else-if branches.
- Nested If Statement:
- An if statement can contain another if or if-else statement, allowing for complex decision-making.
- Enables checking multiple conditions layered within each other.
Switch Statement
- Used for decision-making where multiple possible execution paths are based on the value of a variable.
- Facilitates readability and organization compared to multiple if-else statements.
- Notes on switch statements:
- Cases can be int, short, byte, char, string, or enum types.
- No duplicate cases allowed.
- The default statement executes if no cases match the expression; it's optional.
- A break statement exits the switch block after executing a case, preventing fall-through to the next case.
This summary encapsulates the fundamental concepts of control flow and arrays in Java, focusing on variable types, casting, and control structures, essential for enhancing programming skills.
