JAVA PROGRAM
An expression produces a result and returns a value. It can be any combination of
variables, literals, and operators.
The following are purposes of expressions:
● to compute values
● to assign values to variables
● to control the flow of execution
Below are common examples of mathematical expressions:
● x = 5;
● y = x;
● z = x * y;
JAVA OPERATORS
Operators are used in Java to manipulate the values of variables. These follow a
set of rules for precedence and associativity so that the compiler will know which
operator to evaluate first in case multiple operators are used in one expression.
8
Operators are special symbols that perform some action on its operands and return
the result. The different operators used in Java are:
● Arithmetic
● Increment and Decrement
● Assignment
● Relational
● Logical
ARITHMETIC OPERATORS
Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions in the same way that
they are used in Algebra. The following are the arithmetic operators:
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Modulo
For example, 15 / 2 is 7, 15 % 2 is 1, and 15.0 / 2 is 7.5. The only operator in this
list that you might not be familiar with is the remainder operator. The remainder of
an operation is the remainder of the divisor divided by the dividend. In other words,
in the expression 10 % 5, the remainder is 0 because 10 is evenly divisible by 5.
However, the result of 11 % 5 is 1
because 11 divided by 5 is 2 remainder 1. This operator works equally well with
floating-point operands. For example,
12.5 % 1.5 yields the result 0.5.
Note that when an integer and a floating-point number are used as operands to a
single arithmetic operation, the result is a floating-point. The integer is implicitly
9
converted to a floating-point number before the operation takes place.
INCREMENT AND DECREMENT
The ++ operator increments its single operand, which must be a variable, by one.
The behavior of this operator depends on its position relative to the operand.
The -- operator decrements its single numeric operand, which must be a variable,
by one. Like the ++ operator, the behavior of -- depends on its position relative to
the operand.
The increment and decrement operators can be placed before or after an operand.
When the increment and decrement operators are used before an operand, it
causes the variable to be incremented or decremented by 1, and then the new
value is used in the expression in which it appears. However, if used after an
operand, the old value of the variable will be used in the expression where it
appears.
ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS
The simplest assignment operator is the standard equal (=) sign operator. This operator
assigns the value of the expression on the right side to the variable on the left side. For
10
example, x = y+3 evaluates the expression y+3 and assigns the result to x.
Assigning a value to a variable is an expression because it produces a value. The
assignment operator can also be used to make a series of assignments in a single statement
as shown below:
x = y = z = 7;
In this statement, all three variables end up with the value of
7. The right side of an assignment expression is always calculated before the assignment
takes place. This makes it possible to use an expression statement as in the following code:
int x = 5; x = x + 2;
In the expression x = x + 2, x + 2 is calculated first. The result of this calculation is then
assigned to x which makes x
= 7. Using an expression to change a variable's value is a common task in programming.
The other Java assignment operators are known as arithmetic assignment operators. These
operators provide a shortcut for assigning a value. When the previous value of a variable is a
factor in determining the value that you want to assign, the arithmetic assignment operators
are often more efficient.
Arithmetic assignment operators are best explained by example. For instance, the following
lines are equivalent to each other:
x += 5;
x = x + 5;
These operators instruct the interpreter to use the operand on the left (x in this case) as the
left-side operand in an expression with the right-side operand (5 in this case). The operator
that precedes the equals sign determines the operation performed between the two entities.
The result of this operation is then assigned to the operand on the left (x).
11
RELATIONAL OPERATORS
Relational operators are used to create comparison expressions that result in a
Boolean value (either true or false). Java provides the following six relational
operators:
== is equal to
< is less than
> is greater than
<= is less than or equal to
>= is greater than or equal to
!= is not equal to
All relational operators are binary. For example: Op1 == Op2 Op1 is equal to
Op2.
This requires that the two operands be of the same data type or data types that can
be related (similar). Both operands may be variables, literals, or expressions. Only
== and != may be applied on Boolean data.
LOGICAL OPERATORS
Expressions that result in Boolean values, such as comparison operations, can be
combined to form more complex expressions. This is handled through logical
operators, which are used for the logical combinations AND, OR, XOR, and logical
NOT.
For AND combinations, the & or && logical operators are used. When two Boolean
12
expressions are linked by the & or && operators, the combined expression returns a
true value only if both Boolean expressions are true.
Consider this example:
boolean extraLife = (score > 75000) & (playerLives < 10);
This expression combines two comparison expressions: score > 75000 and
playerLives < 10. If both of these expressions are true, the value true is assigned to
the variable extraLife. In any other circumstance, the value false is assigned to the
variable.
OPERATOR PRECEDENCE
When more than one operator is used in an expression, Java has an established
precedence hierarchy to determine the order in which operators are evaluated. In
many cases, this precedence determines the overall value of the expression.
For example, consider the following expression:
y = 6 + 4 / 2;
The y variable receives the value 5 or the value 8, depending on which arithmetic
operation is handled first. If the 6 + 4 expression comes first, y will have the value of
5. Otherwise, y equals 8.
If two operations have the same precedence, the one on the left in the actual
expression is handled before the one on the right.
Returning to the expression y = 6 + 4 / 2, it shows that division is evaluated before
addition, so the value of y will be 8.
To change the order in which expressions are evaluated, place parentheses around
13
the expressions that should be evaluated first. You can nest one set of parentheses
inside another to make sure that expressions are evaluated in the desired order; the
innermost parenthetical expression is evaluated first.
The following expression results in a value of 5:
y = (6 + 4) / 2
The value of 5 is the result because 6 + 4 is calculated first, and then the result, 10, is
divided by 2.
Parentheses also can improve the readability of an expression. If the precedence of
an expression isn't immediately clear to you, adding parentheses to impose the
desired precedence can make the statement easier to understand.
JAVA STATEMENTS
Statements are the tasks you wish your program to do. Statements are your
commands and may comprise keywords, identifiers, and/or mathematical
expressions.
There are some statements that are ready to be used and all we have to do is to
import the proper packages needed in our program.
In Java, a statement is one or more lines of code ending with a semicolon. It
14
generally contains expressions (expressions have a value).
Statements in Java can either be simple statements or compound statements. Simple
statements are the basic building blocks of a program. Compound statements are
used to organize simple statements into complex structures, which are called control
structures since they control the order in which the statements are executed.
DECISION CONTROL STRUCTURES
Decision control structures are Java that allows a programmer to select and
execute specific blocks of code while skipping other sections.
The decision control structure includes types such as If, If- Else, and If-Else-If. We
will be discussing these types later on.
The if statement specifies that a statement (or block of code) will be executed if and
only if a certain Boolean statement is true. It has the format:
if (expression) statement or block; or
if (expression) statement;
where expression represents a relational, equality, or logical expression (conditional
expression). Indent the statements inside the if-block. Such indentation is optional but
it is highly recommended because it emphasizes the inherent structure of the
structured programs.
If there is a need to execute several statements (compound statement), then left and
right {} braces can group these statements.
if (expression)
statement1; statement2;
15
}
Note that placement of the braces is a matter of personal style. Recommendation is
to be consistent with set style and also indent block.
When java encounters an if statement, the first thing it performs is to determine
whether the result of the conditional expression would be true or false. If the result is
true, then it will perform the statement stated in its body.
Should the result of the condition be false, it skips the statement body and proceeds
to the next statement after the if statement.
Making a decision involves choosing between two alternative courses of action based
on some value within a program.
The if statement is the flowchart equivalent of the diamond symbol (decision box).
Recall that the diamond box has two possible outputs, one for a TRUE result and
another for a FALSE result.
The choice of path is dependent on the given condition placed on the decision box.
However, whether the result would be true or not, the path would always be
connected at a common point.
The concept of the decision box is always applied in programming, the if statement is
the actuality of the decision box where the if statement also contains conditions that
would be evaluated by the computer.
An if-else statement is also capable of performing multiple statements. Always
remember to include the curly braces { } to indicate that a compound or multiple
statements will be performed.
16
The statement in the else-clause of an if-else block can be another if-else structure.
This cascading of structures allows you to make more complex selections.
Nested if structures are particularly useful when two conditions must be met before
some action is taken. The figure in the slide depicts the nested if structure.
When using nested if structure, you must be cautious on the placement of any else
clauses.
Another way you can add decision-making code to your programs is with the switch
statement. The switch statement enables a computer program to switch between
different outcomes based on a given expression. In contrast to a nested if statement,
a switch statement is more appropriate when you have many options based on the
value of a given expression, and on occasions when different sets of values require
the same outcome.
REPETITION CONTROL STRUCTURES
The while loop is a statement or block of statements that is repeated as long as some
condition is satisfied. Depending on the Boolean expression, the loop may not be
executed at all.
A do-while loop is similar in structure to a while-loop, except in its upside-down
appearance, as the condition appears after the body. The statements inside a do-
while loop are executed repeatedly as long as the condition is satisfied.
A do-while loop allows statements inside the curly braces {} to be executed at least
17
once. The minimum number of iterations is one and the maximum number is infinity.
A common programming error when using the do-while loop is forgetting to write the
semi-colon after the while expression. Just like in while loops, make sure that your
do- while loops will terminate at some point.
A for loop instructs a program to perform a block of code a specified number of times.
There are many applications for a for loop, including tasks such as reading through a
list of data items or initializing an array.
BRANCHING STATEMENTS
Branching statements allow you to redirect the flow of program execution. These
were commonly used during the time when programs follow a linear path, i.e., as a
single sequence of instructions (flowchart is one-dimensional — all blocks are along a
single line). To control program flow, programs then had to jump around instructions.
Structured programming languages provide branching statements to provide
convenient paths while maintaining the “structured” property of the program. Note
that structured programming requires modularity of the program, and that each
module has only one exit point.
Java is a structured programming language and it includes the following three
branching statements:
● break
● continue
● return
The break statement is used to “break out” of a loop. With loops, break can be used
to force an early exit from the loop, or to implement a loop with a test to exit in the
18
middle of the loop body. A break within a loop should always be protected within an if
statement which provides the test to control the exit condition.
The continue statement is similar to break, but less commonly used. A continue
statement when executed skips any remaining statements in the body of the structure
and proceeds with the test for the next iteration of the loop. It may occur only in a
while, do, or for statements.
The return statement is used to exit from the current method. The flow of control
returns to the statement that follows the original method call.
This will be further discussed on the succeeding topics.
