 Type Conversion

• Java does automatic type conversion

– Types are compatible
– Destination type is larger size than source type
– byte -> short -> int -> long -> float -> double
– Also known as Widening Casting

int i = 20; char ch = ‘Q’;

double d = i; long l = ch;

 Explicit Casting
• Manual or explicit casting
– Converts larger sized data types into smaller ones
– May loose value or precision
– Also known as Narrowing Casting

Auto type-conversion in expression

Arithmetic operators Can not assign an int to byte

convert byte or char
or short into integers

 Type promotion

• int & char -> int

• int & float -> float
… …
• Example of multiple types together
(int + byte) * (float – double)
int * double
double

 Arrays

• In C, just declaration was enough

int arr [10];

• In Java, declaration and allocation with new

keyword required
int months[];
int months[] = new int [12];
months = new int [12];

 Array Example

Trying to access an array with negative index or

index value more than the size, a Java run-time
error will occur

 If-else example
int i=10, j=15, k=70;
int a=0, b=30, c=40, d=20;

if(i == d/2) {
if(j < 20) a = b;
if(k > 100) c = d;
else a = c;
}
else a = d;

What is the value of a?

 Another for Loop Example - condition

boolean done = false;

int i = 0;

for( ; !done; ) {
System.out.println("i is " + i);
if(i == 10) done = true;
i++;
}

 A new format in for loop

int nums[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
int sum = 0;
for(int i=0; i < 10; i++) sum += nums[i];

New Format allowed in Java

int nums[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
int sum = 0;
for(int x: nums) sum += x;

* You can use the break statement if want to finish the loop early

public class JavaApplication3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int nums[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10 }; Output:
for(int x : nums) {
1 10
System.out.print(x + " "); 2 20
x = x * 10; // no effect on nums 3 30
System.out.println(x); 4 40
} 5 50

 Input from Keyboard
• Scanner class
import java.util.Scanner;

class InputTest{
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

System.out.println(“Enter an interger:”);
int n = scan.nextInt();

System.out.println(“You entered: ” + n);

}
}

• nextLine(): returns the string from input

• nextDouble(): returns the double value from input

 Ternary Operator - ? :
if ( a > b )
max = a;
max = (a>b)? a : b;
else
max = b;

max= (a>b)? ( (a>c)?a:c ) : ( (b>c)?b:c ) ;
