Description
Java is a popular programming language, created in 1995.
It is owned by Oracle, and more than 3 billion devices run Java.
Data types are divided into two groups:
-
Primitive data types – includes byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean and char
-
Non-primitive data types – such as String, Arrays and Classes
In Java, there are two types of casting:
-
Widening Casting (automatically) – converting a smaller type to a larger type size
byte -> short -> char -> int -> long -> float -> double -
Narrowing Casting (manually) – converting a larger type to a smaller size type
double -> float -> long -> int -> char -> short -> byte
Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.
Java has the following conditional statements:
-
Use if to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true
-
Use else to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is false
-
Use else if to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is false
-
Use switch to specify many alternative blocks of code to be executed
Loops can execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is reached.
Loops are handy because they save time, reduce errors, and they make code more readable.
