ESc101 : Fundamental of Computing

I Semester 2008-09

Lecture 4

I Primitive Data Types in JAVA, Operators, Expression evaluation

II Block of code

1
(Primitive) Data types in JAVA

Domain Java type

Integer byte, short, int, long


Fractional numbers float, double
Boolean boolean
Characters char

2
Operation defined on Data types for Integer

Arithmetic operators

Operator Meaning Result

+ addition Integer

− subtraction “

∗ multiplication “

/ integer division “

% mod “
19/4 : ?
19%4 : ?

3
Operation defined on Data types for Integer

Arithmetic operators

Operator Meaning Result

+ addition Integer

− subtraction “

∗ multiplication “

/ integer division “

% mod “
19/4 : 4
19%4 : 3

4
Operation defined on Data types for Integer

Relational operators

<, less than Boolean

<= less than or equal “

== equal “

! = not equal “
2<3:?
3 == 3 : ?

5
Operation defined on Data types for Integer

Relational operators

<, less than Boolean

<= less than or equal “

== equal “

! = not equal “
2 < 3 : true
3 == 3 : true

In a similar fashion >, >= are defined.

6
Operation defined on Data types for fractional numbers

Same as that of integer data type except :

/ is the same as the usual division operator.


% is the remainder by usual division.

19.0/4.0 : 4.75
19.0%4.0 : 3.0

7
Operation defined on Data type for Boolean

Logical operators

Operator Meaning Result

! NOT boolean
&, && AND boolean
|, || OR boolean
Relational operators

== Equal boolean
!= Not equal boolean

8
Evaluation of Expressions

2 + 3 ∗ 4 is equal to ??

96/4/2 is equal to ??

Is 3/2 ∗ 60 ∗ 60 equal to 60 ∗ 60 ∗ 3/2 ?

9
Evaluation of Expressions

2 + 3 ∗ 4 is equal to 14

96/4/2 is equal to 12

Is 3/2 ∗ 60 ∗ 60 equal to ∗60 ∗ 60 ∗ 3/2 ? : NO

10
Evaluation of Expressions

An important tool :
It is always better to use parentheses in writing any expression.

However, if the expression is not fully parenthesized, then the following rules are
followed

• terms in parentheses are evaluated first


• the operators of higher precedence are evaluated before the operators of
lower precedence.

• two consecutive operators have same precedence, they are evaluated from
left to right.(called left associative).

+, −, ∗, /, % are left associative.

11
II : Block of code

Definition : a sequence of statements enclosed between { and }.

For example

{
Statement1;
Statement2;
.
.
.
Statementk;
}

12
Scope of a variable

• within the block in which it is declared and

• after its declaration.

13
Example : Scope of vatiable
1.class scope
2.{ public static void main(String args[])
3. {
4. int i;
5. i = 100;
6. System.out.println("value of i here is "+i);
7. {
8. int j;
9. j=55;
10. i = i*j;
11. System.out.println(i);
12. System.out.println(j;)
13. }
14. System.out.println(j);
15. }
16.}

The above code will give copilation error at line 14 because no j exists at this line.

The scope of i is from line 5 to 14, scope of j is from line 9 to 12 only.

14
Motivation for If statement

Find the minimum of two or more numbers.

class if_example
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i,j,max;
.
.
//---write code here so that max
//---stores the bigger of i and j
}
}

In next lecture, we shall introduce If statement.
