Study Notes
Variable Declaration
- Variables can store values that are changeable; examples include text strings and integers.
- In Java, variables are declared using the format:
Data Type Variable Name = Value(e.g.,String User_Name = "Juan Dela Cruz"). - Java is case-sensitive, meaning
User_Nameanduser_nameare distinct variables.
Rules for Using Variables
- Variable names can include letters, digits, the
$sign, and underscores but must begin with a letter or underscore. - White spaces and special characters are not allowed in variable names.
- Variable names cannot start with a digit, nor can they be reserved words or keywords in Java.
- Length of the variable name is unlimited, but readability is important.
Constant Variables
- Constant variables, defined with the
finalkeyword, have fixed values that remain unchanged during program execution (e.g.,final float tax = 26.7;).
Importance of Comments
- Comments are non-executable lines that provide documentation within programs, enhancing readability and comprehensibility.
- While comments do not affect the program execution, they serve to clarify the functionality for others or for future reference.
Identifiers
- Identifiers are names assigned to program elements such as variables and functions, starting with a letter and consisting of letters and digits without spaces.
- An underscore can be the first character of an identifier.
- Reserved words cannot be used as identifiers, preserving their intended functionality in Java.
Reserved Words
- Reserved words have a predefined meaning in Java and are used for specific programming purposes; they cannot serve as identifiers.
Data Types
- Data types define the range of values, permissible operations, and memory storage for data, allowing computers to manipulate information effectively.
Java Operators
- Java has several operator categories, including:
Arithmetic Operators
- These operators are used for mathematical expressions:
+(addition)-(subtraction)*(multiplication)/(division)%(modulus)++(increment operator)--(decrement operator)
Relational Operators
- These operators compare values and yield a boolean result:
==(equal to)!=(not equal to)>(greater than)<(less than)>=(greater than or equal to)<=(less than or equal to)
Assignment Operators
- Used to assign values to variables. Examples include:
=(simple assignment)+=(addition assignment)-=(subtraction assignment)*=(multiplication assignment)/=(division assignment)%=(modulus assignment)
Bitwise Operators
- Bitwise shift operators manipulate individual bits and their positions within a binary value, affecting how numbers are represented in memory.
