Math.pow(2, 3) output

The Java method Math.pow(base, exponent) calculates base raised to the power of exponent. In this case, 2 raised to the power of 3 is 8.0

Number literal in Java

A fixed value that appears directly in the program, not stored in a variable.

Data type of 5.0

The data type of the literal 5.0 in Java is double.

Study Notes

Java Variables and Data Types

  • Variable Declaration: Used to store values in a program.
  • Number Literal: A constant numerical value appearing directly in the code. Not a variable.
  • Math.pow(2, 3) Output: 8.0
  • 5.0 Data Type: double
  • System.currentTimeMillis() Purpose: Gets the current time in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.
  • Increment Operators (++i vs i++): ++i increments the value before use, i++ after.

Java Operators and Expressions

  • Type Casting: Converting a variable from one data type to another.
  • int i = (int)3.9; Output 3 (integer truncation)

Java Random Numbers and Characters

  • Random Integer (1-10): Methods exist for this but are not detailed.
  • Character Data Type: char
  • Unicode: A 16-bit character encoding scheme.
  • Escape Sequence: A sequence of characters representing a special character (e.g., newline).
  • Character.isDigit() Purpose: Checks if a character is a digit.
  • String Data Type: String
  • String.length() Purpose: Retrieves the length (number of characters) of a string.
  • String.charAt() Purpose: Returns the character at a specific index in a string.
  • String.concat() Purpose: Concatenates (joins) two strings.
